Synopsis

A psychic seemingly dies of fright during a séance where she sees a vision of a Dunwich priest hanging himself in a church cemetery. New York City reporter Peter Bell investigates and learns that the priest's suicide has somehow opened a portal to Hell that must be sealed by All Saints Day, or else the dead will overtake humanity.

Cinema Atlas Connection
I wanted to make a very personal movie, something in the tradition of those great Italian horror movies that I grew up with, like Dario Argento’s films and Lucio Fulci’s films—especially 'The Beyond' and 'City of the Living Dead'.
