With its rituals and exorcisms, Hellhole initially seems to be purely a variation of a possession film, but as the movie progresses it takes a turn into occult and secret cult cinema. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 3.5/5

Viewers willing to put up with cannibalism, slashed throats, suffocation, and general murderous mayhem will appreciate the craftsmanship, decent special effects, and perfect Halloween vibe.

But Why Tho? A Geek Community

Hellhole is a monastic nightmare that leans on traditional jump scares throughout before paying off with an artful ending that makes its tight hour and 30-minute runtime hit its full potential.

Austin Burke/Flick Fan Nation

The first two acts are a mixed bag of clichés and obvious character turns. The atmosphere captured and wild turn of events in the final act make it worth a watch, but it does feel like a missed opportunity.

Rated: 5/10

Ready Steady Cut

It is a standard religious horror with a bit of twist that isn’t that engaging.

Rated: 2.5/5

Decider

Packed with dread, gloom, and the machinations of Satan’s faithful here on earth, Hellhole is a wholly rewarding horror film with a healthy respect for the genre’s time-honored, sometimes stomach-turning stylistic tropes.

Absolutely trashed the great potential they had. Starts off as a 4 on 5 and ends as an absolute disaster.

Polish horror movie. Undercover cop goes into a monastery to investigate young women disappearing only to find out that those monks are super shady. Pretty good story. Not a lot of special effects but the few are good 🍿🍿🍿🍿/5 on Netflix

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 could certainly do much worse.

Would have been great if we saw the demon for more than 2 minutes at the end.

A middle of the road occult horror. While largely predictable and trope-y, it does contain some good scenes and effects. I appreciate that the protagonist has a modicum of common sense which is a rare sight in horror. It is also unexpectedly humorous at moments...the tone shifts a lot in the last half hour which might put some people off but I kind of enjoyed it. It makes for a decently entertaining one-time watch, if you don't take it too seriously.
