The idea that certain objects can function as a portal to hell was made clear with the Hellraiser series. In this story it’s not a puzzle cube but a pyramid that is opening the gates to hell. Four short films show people slowly spiralling down into insanity, the gates open up until there's a point where nobody can stop it.
Not unsurprising the story reminds of Hellraiser, there are mindset similarities. Not a problem at BUTFF, 'better a good old idea than a bad new one' it's the execution that's appreciated most and a new twist works wonders. Filthy, suffocating and beautiful are a few words that describe 'The Pyramid'.
