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.

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.

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

[A] movie for the ages? Not really. It’s a little too formulaic for that. Is it good fun? Hell, yeah. It delivers the requisite shocks, and overall it’s ... a solid example of the venerable disparate-people-trapped-with-a-monster school of horror,

“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.

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.

This movie really wasn't bad. I went into it, not knowing anything about it and came out enjoying it. Fans of John Carpenters "The Thing" will probably like this film , as it shares the whole alien jumping body routine in the movie. It has some really cool moments where bodies are exploding and the creatures design is pretty cool. The story starts out in Serbia. There is a Serbian franking operation going on. That's where the trouble starts. They discover a live person in a pod like cocoon that is infected with the foreign alien creatures. It comes out and starts the cycle of jumping to and from different members of the frakking team. This is where the creature gets hostile as it host keeps getting killed. It must find another. The team tries to escape from this monster. Is it too late, will anyone survive. From the ending, that they leave you with, I think the alien is alive.

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
