Movie Reviews of HellbentMovie Review: fantastic horror film Summary: 5 Stars
"Hellbent" is a fantastic horror film, done with great care, featuring good performances and cute guys, decent scares, a good balance of humor, a great musical score, and is filmed during the actual West Hollywood Halloween festival. Rather than trying to create a back-story for the killer, which I feel too many horror films try to do which sometimes results in an unbelievable explanation, the story lets you simply wonder, and that makes it scary. Not knowing what the deal is with this masked, buff psycho and instead focusing on likeable main characters being relentlessly stalked gives this film a more basic effect that actually works really well. The story revolves around four gay friends, and each character is decently written, and fun. Dylan Fergus is very cute indeed, and is a very capable actor. He plays the lead character with an easy going, boy next door goodness. Hank Harris, as Joey, is supposed to be the "average" looking guy, but his natural ease, goofy and naive character makes him very appealing and cute, actually. I have seen Harris in other films as well, and he is a pretty good young actor. I really liked how the writers show these young gay characters as real people, not stereo-types, fleshing out each of the four characters with their own distinct personalities. The gore is just right, and is just about what one expects from this genre of film. "Hellbent" isn't overly complicated, has likeable actors, a great location for the action sequences, and directed decently. When I saw this in the theaters, it was sold-out, and the audience was lively and it was obvious everybody had a great time. It will definatly gain a cult following on dvd and hopefully a sequel is in the near future. Kudos to everybody involved for making a great gay orientated horror film, easily worthy of repeat viewings. I really like this movie.
