Critics Consensus

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

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

Rated: 2.5/4

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.

Rated: B

Guardian

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.

Rated: 3/5

“Hell Hole” suffers from clunky editing and awkward pacing. The CGI, though used sparingly, is embarrassing.

Well worth sticking your face into Hell Hole, as there is a prize inside the box of wood chips.

This monster film was written, directed, and starred by John Adams and Toby Poser. The plot revolves around American drilling bosses in Siberia who discover a Napoleonic-era soldier in a shell with a parasite residing in his host body. When the host intends to commit suicide, the monster continues to shift to another body. It requires just a male host to survive. The film is below average, shot fully during the day, which reduces the fear factor.

Halfway decent movie. Acting is ok and special effects are meh. There are long conversations in a foreign language (Russian?) without subtitles which is really strange. It’s basically a modern take on The Thing.

It sucked. Bad what happened to movies. The remake of salems lot was 10 times better and it got a 48 score and you rate this trash as 80

The Adams, my favourite film making family in the horror genre return with "Hell Hole" another well made, but different small budget horror starring, written & directed by John Adams, Toby Poser & co written with their daughter, Lulu Adams. "Hell Hole" is unlike their previous movies, which were darker with more focus on revenge, motherhood, witchcraft, haunted by grief & guilt, but here they go lighter, with the feeling the Adams are having fun working around the budget to produce an entertaining creature feature mixed with environmental body horror & a sense of humour.

Look, Hell Hole is not too bad and it's certainly watchable. Great premise and overall the plot is delivered fairly well. Don't expect to see any Academy Award winning performances, as the acting would be best described as 'understated, (not bad by any stretch), and admittedly suits the type of story it is trying to tell. Pretty creepy with some suitably gory (but not over the top) scenes. Worth giving it a go if you are a horror fan... you may like it, you may not, but you xoujs certainly do much worse.
