“What if all this stuff about portals to other worlds, ancient keys, inter-dimensional maps, citadel priests in the form of robot animals and aliens walking among us is actually real?”
ask filmmakers Phil Thompson and David Hollinshead,
“that is an unsettling truth most people openly try to avoid.”

The cast includes high-profile actors who have appeared in classic action, fantasy and horror films.
