Dimitri R @DmitryR 10h honestly idk why it has so bad reviews, I think the movie is very cool: the idea exploration, the writing is fine, the visual effects are pretty good, and set pieces are REALLY good imo. I'm watching this the second time. it's not _really_ a horror, you won't be spooked or tense constantly, it's more of an idea exploration See more Jerry G @JerryFan10 3d I can't believe this movie is rated Fresh. it's awful. I've watched a few of their movies and they're frightneningly amateurish, yet seem to rate well on RT. I'm not sure how they are getting these high RT scores. Must be bots or something? Terrible acting. Awful plot. I'm curioushow they are pulling this off.

Hellbender has its creepy moments, but never commits to being truly unsettling. The Adams family delivers their trademark indie horror. Witchy rituals, isolated settings, DIY punk energy but it's feeling increasingly formulaic. Watching the same small cast cycle through similar occult themes keeps you aware you're watching a movie rather than being pulled into one. Where's the moment that makes you hide behind your fingers? It's not here. Everything telegraphs itself too clearly. There's atmosphere and some eerie sequences. But "kind of creepy" doesn't cut it when horror needs to genuinely unsettle. The ritualistic witchcraft that felt fresh earlier now feels like autopilot. Not terrible. The Adams family has vision. But this feels like spinning wheels in familiar territory rather than pushing into anything genuinely frightening. Watchable, but forgettable.

It looks and sounds way better than most bigger budget films. See more Miguel N @Migueln Nov 22 The beginning of this film was off to a slow start and the visual effects could have been a bit better but I’m glad I stayed for the plot. The actresses who play both mother and daughter play great in their roles and the story unfolds well. Seems a bit low budget but I’d recommend a watch for sure. See more Read all reviews
