Pam P. One of the worst movies I have ever seen. Poor rip off of Final Destination meets Halloween. Bad acting, bad writing. Just bad. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/30/25 Full Review Frank J Keeps you guessing what is real or not. I love every minute of this movie and the lighting is so beautiful too. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/27/25 Full Review Mike E This movie deserves more credit than it gets. It’s not a modern day art house masterpiece but, it is a pretty damn good slasher. The characters are fun, it has some good gore and suspense, the whole set design was pretty awsome! I can honestly say I might rank this one slightly higher than Haunt! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/16/25 Full Review Andrew M "Hell Fest" offers a refreshing break from the typical ironic or nostalgic takes on the slasher genre, presenting a straightforward, no-frills horror experience. The film’s greatest strength lies in its setting—a sprawling amusement park turned haunted house, which provides a thrilling backdrop for the terror that unfolds. Despite its simplicity, Hell Fest manages to deliver some genuinely scary moments. The production design by Michael Perry is particularly impressive, invoking various horror traditions and paying homage to the works of Tobe Hooper. Each set piece is meticulously crafted to maximize the scares, making the amusement park itself feel like a character in the story. One of the standout aspects is the nuanced portrayal of female friendship, adding a layer of depth to the otherwise familiar slasher dynamics. While the characters and their interactions can feel a bit contrived and derivative, there’s a certain charm in their camaraderie that keeps you invested. However, the film is not without its flaws. The plot is fairly predictable, and the character development is minimal, leaving you wanting more depth and originality. Some of the dialogue feels awkward and forced, resembling a caricature of how middle schoolers might speak. Additionally, the climax, though intense, could have been better planned to avoid feeling rushed and anticlimactic. Overall, Hell Fest is a fun, albeit familiar, ride through haunted house horror. It doesn't reinvent the wheel, but it doesn’t try to. Instead, it embraces its role as a straightforward slasher, delivering frights and thrills without overcomplicating things. If you’re looking for a horror movie that’s more about the experience than the story, this one might just be your ticket to a good scare.
