In the Adams Family's celebration of the classic creature-feature, an American-led fracking crew working deep in the Serbian wilderness find themselves at odds with government assigned environmental advisors. When they get approval to drill, the workers uncover the unimaginable: a dormant parasitic monster entombed deep in the frozen rock. Now awakened, it tears through the mining facility in search of the perfect host.

Critics Consensus

Hell Hole pokes much needed life into an aging genre, going back to basics and delivering the gory goods.

2.5/4

It’s kind of a disappointment, despite having some undeniable positives that should make it an easy watch for horror heads.

It may not feel like the most emblematic of the family’s close-knit filmmaking style, but it is undeniably branded by their touch, rife with naturalistic dialogue and sludge metal galore.

3/5

Existing as a labour of love isn’t enough by itself to earn any film a pass mark, but when the result is a committed piece of indie genre work with a suitably silly sense of the macabre, this gets the job done.

Hell Hole is a metal monster flick that will have crowds squirming, laughing, and cheering in equal measure.

The film still provides an entertaining watch but there isn’t much to offer underneath the slick and frozen ground it presents. It may be that this needed to gestate longer to adopt more meaning.

With a keen eye for comedy as it does for stomach-churning visuals, Hell Hole is another clever homegrown banger from the Adams family.

It’s clear what they were going for but... too much Russian, terrible ending,

A crew is drilling in a remote site in Serbia when they accidentally encounter a dormant parasite. The unknown species only survives inside the male body, and it does not hesitate to explore a new "home" in case it feels threatened. "Hell Hole" is a creature feature horror flick with plenty of dark humour and gruesome moments. The movie resembles "The Thing" as it also evokes nature's revenge against the ecological horrors caused by human action.

Americans and Serbs at a fracking station unearths a strange creature looking for a human host. An obvious nod to creature features, especially The Thing-1982, this film sadly stumbles, especially in relation to The Adams Family's previous three films. Their last, Where the Devil Roams was a delightfully disturbed portrayal of family dynamics in depression era sideshows. This is an endeavor to pay homage but lacks creative vision and relies overmuch on dialogue. I did enjoy the attempt to ground the creature in science. There are some good laughs and lots of goopy gory effects, both practical and CGI but while I didn't consider it a waste of time I wish I'd liked it more.

Just. No. Watch zombeavers instead. Seriously.

Hellhole" is essentially an Eastern European imitation of John Carpenter's "The Thing." If you're desperately craving more of that body-horror paranoia, it might satisfy a very specific itch. However, for those seeking originality or even competent execution, this film is easily skippable.

i mean, it's B-movie status cheesy & more of a comedy/horror than straight horror, but kind of a fun watch. one of the best opening scenes, honestly, haha. it's got "The Thing"x"Dreamcatcher" vibes so if you're into those you might like it.
