To Hell and Back should prove to be a surprise for many horror fans, as well as individuals who may not be quite so familiar with Hodder's work.

This documentary is a strong outing in the world of horror documentaries and sets its director as one to watch. This is one film that should be seen, horror fan or not.

Suffice to say, To Hell And Back is a must-watch for horror fans, and Jason devotees in particular. But it's also a hugely moving, fascinating glimpse into the life of a very private, otherwise normal person with some great stories to tell.

Rated: 9/10

A must watch for all horror fans. I laughed, I cried, I enjoyed. Goes really well with his book Unmasked.

"To Hell And Back" is a deeply personal and intense account of the horror icon's journey through his darkest moments. From childhood bullying that reaches some truly violent, heart breaking episodes, right up to the gut-wrenching and harrowing experience as a severe burn survivor. The documentary is more than fangasm, it offers a level of realism and humanism that expands beyond the parameters of the horror genre fandom - all with Kane Hodder as the primary story telling offering a first-person account of his life. Friends of the legend offer up moments and feelings of their relationship with Hodder. The selling point for me, and probably most fans, is the one on one feel you get as Hodder is center stage for the majority of the documentary, giving his story as only he could tell. Especially his recounting of being burnt severely during an impromptu demo with a standard fire stunt. An accident that nearly killed him, and as the title states- sent him to "hell and back". This is a documentary worth seeing and for any fan of Hodder, his work and his life, one to add to the collection.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
