The Portal Within

Miguel Hernandez presents a horror narrative centered on eight-year-old Johnny after the unexplained vanishing of his parents. Convinced that manipulating a puzzle lock mechanism inside their home will restore them, Johnny's desperate actions inadvertently open a gateway to hell and release sinister forces.
