“Portal” (*1/2 out of four) was a hokey supernatural thriller about a ghost hunter (Ryan Merriman) who performs a ritual to get to “the other side” but soon finds that him and his team (Jamie Tisdale, Courtney Nightingale, and others) are in over their head and their lives might be in danger. Competent direction and acting can only do so much with a ridiculous script that is often laughable. One-time scream queen Heather Langenkamp shows up in an ambiguous supporting role but I doubt this will be the “portal” to her comeback
