Forget about hell, the emptiness these filmmakers must address lies primarily in their predominantly female cast of characters.

Culture Mix

Hell Is Empty is an apt title for this terrible horror movie: It’s a type of cinematic hell to watch this empty, soulless, and incompetent filmmaking. This relentlessly stupid movie about a brainwashed harem cult is an assault on viewers’ brain cells.

Shaffer does an excellent job of walking the line in representing brutality without being sadistic to the characters. This is the direction neo-exploitation should be pointed in.

Rated: 7/10
