Bruce DeMara Toronto Star 10/25/2012
2/4
As filled with good intentions as it clearly is, Hellbound? feels painfully earnest throughout as well as cluttered and only occasionally illuminating. Go to Full Review
Kerry Lengel Arizona Republic 10/04/2012
4/5
An engaging, accessible documentary that explores the (truly) eternal questions, "Does hell exist? If so, who ends up there, and why?" Go to Full Review
Cary Darling Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com 09/22/2012
3/5
Hellbound will probably find favor mostly with a Christian-film audience when, if [director Kevin Miller] had cast a wider net, it might have had broader appeal. Go to Full Review

A rich, thoughtful conversation-starter about changing notions of religious damnation, Hellbound? invades notoriously touchy territory with an open mind, steady focus and civil disposition. Go to Full Review
David Noh Film Journal International 09/25/2012
After seeing this doc, the average sinning moviegoer may feel less apprehensive and less in need of an asbestos jumpsuit for the afterlife. Go to Full Review

05/23/2015 Very Fair Presentation of Something that Should be Close to Every Christians Heart.. God Can't be for Violence! See more 01/07/2015 A thoughtful, powerful conversation on hell. However, the film has a slight slant towards universalism, in my opinion. The eternal torment side was generally depicted as either unlearned, crazy, or overly dogmatic, while the universalists were portrayed far more charitably. Annihilation was also not given much air time, and was treated as the middle child. Regardless of this, the film was provocative and insightful. See more 08/12/2014 VERY GOOD, recommended for those of you who believe in God and are not totally brainwashed by dogma. Actually, never-mind it's infinitely more so recommended to those of you... See more 05/19/2013 All around excellent, balanced, and thought-provoking documentary on hell, with a focus on the connection between our conception of theistic behaviour in the afterlife and our imitative behaviour in this life.

Worth seeing. See more 03/20/2013 Great movie, providing information on the history of different theological conclusions about ' hell ' , providing the 3 historical and ' orthodox views' . One of which is termed universal restoration. A must see for any serious bible thump-ers or even non-bible believers.. see it... See more Read all reviews
