Ryan Cracknell Apollo Guide A strange mix of Cape Fear, Somewhere in Time and From Hell. Rated: 53/100 May 6, 2003 Full Review Scott Weinberg eFilmCritic.com If you've ever been curious to see what Jason Voorhees would look like if he were played by a supermodel, this one's worth a look Rated: 1.5/5 Oct 31, 2002 Full Review Walter Chaw Film Freak Central It occurs to me in all honesty that if you rent this thing you deserve what you get. Rated: 0/4 Aug 7, 2002 Full Review Christopher Null Filmcritic.com The scenes of violence are fake to the point where they might as well have been using Muppets. Rated: 1.5/5 Aug 2, 2002 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member LOL, the critics love this Mariska Hargitay rip-off!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Pretty bad thriller. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Hells Gate is an absolutely atrocious film from start to finish. Most films have some redeemable features, even if it's a case of the film being so bad that it's funny at times, Bad Karma though is so mind numbingly boring that it would be a perfect film to show as a mild means of torture! The storyline is awful; Patsy Kensit believes that she is the reincarnation of Jack the Rippers lover and that her doctor is the reincarnation of Jack the Ripper himself. She follows her doctors family when they go on holidays to a small American Island (actually filmed in Galway as you can clearly see the Telecom Eireann phone box and the An Post post office in the background!) to kill her way to her doctors heart. Now just think about this, Patsy Kensit as a knife wielding serial killer! She is the least convincing killer I have ever seen, the gore is awful, the acting awful, the music awful, the editing awful, the entire production is awful! The worst horror film I have ever seen. Interesting first 5 minutes though.... Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member A murky and ambiguous thriller about a girl whose parents are murdered and who keeps running into the number 11, painted in blood at the scene of her parents' death. It would have been better had the story and explanation been more clearly defined, but I give the director an 'A' for effort for taking a stab at an arty script that isn't like everything else coming out of Schlockville (Hollywood). Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member frekn stupid from start to end. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Absolutely atrocious from start to finish.
