A Young Man Is Pursued Across Parallel Worlds in “Portal Runner”

“When 15-year-old Nolan discovers a secreted family legacy and a portal than enables him to travel to parallel worlds, it’s a young boy’s dream come true … until it becomes a nightmare when he realizes he’s being pursued across the ages by an evil force. When he becomes stranded on Christmas in an alternate timeline with his quirky family and a rebellious and petulant older sister he’s never met before, he realizes Mae may be the key to defeating his adversary and must enlist her help fast … before it’s too late for them all.”

From Terror Films, PORTAL RUNNER is directed by Cornelia Duryée from a screenplay by Tallis Moore, based on a story by J.D. Henning. The film stars Elise Eberle, Morgan Siegel, Carol Roscoe, and Brian S. Lewis.

PORTAL RUNNER will be On Demand December 10th, 2021 from Kairos Productions and Terror Films.
