O Segredo dos Portais

The concept had potential but the implementation failed miserably. It was told as a series of stories which led to a disjointed and confusing anticlimactic end. I doubt the writers had much more than a 5th grade education and certainly never had a class in writing drama. And, who read this script and thought,"Yes, that sounds good!"? Just wow! The actors were OK, the cinematography was decent, even the background music was passable. But the story just didn't have enough legs to go anywhere. It was obvious the writers had no real concept at all and so the individual stories never became cohesive. The whole thing kind of came off as an indy-art-house picture with no real substance. Don't waste your time.

... Make spooky nonsense happen. Is it aliens? Is it hell? Is there a coherent story? We just don't know. And sometimes heads explode. Overall, it's just kinda dull.

This is really bad. No redeeming qualities about this movie.

The only reason for watching this film could be family or friends involvement in the cast. Perhaps your granddaughter or a neighbour or a second cousin is in the cast here. It works as a hobby project but I feel like it's a waste.

Poor acting, poor narrative, poor effects and most importantly a wasted potential.

If you enjoy gore and "eye popping" bloody stuff which gives no meaning - search no more.

I am very sorry for the actors who tried to do a decent job, but this is not something you put in portfolio.

I've watched hundreds of bad movies. Finally, after 37 years of life, I have watched a movie so absolutely horrible that I felt the need to create an IMDB account to review one.

I hope that others like me, those who can happily sit through a bad movie and appreciate it for it's most basic entertainment value, see this review and know to stay away. Don't say you weren't warned.

Portals lacks direction and flails about for much of its run time until it falls over and ends.

The initial plotline has some tantalizing potential but average acting from the movies no name actors and confused directing makes the portals an exercise in wasted time.

It could have been an amazing move but never got there.
