Andrew Gaudion THN 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. Rated: 4/5 Aug 30, 2020 Full Review Emilie Black Cinema Crazed 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. Rated: 4.5/5 Apr 11, 2020 Full Review Joey Keogh Wicked Horror 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 Oct 2, 2019 Full Review Molly Henery The Blogging Banshee To Hell and Back: The Kane Hodder Story is an absolute must for any horror fan. It shows a side of Hodder rarely seen by fans, and it allows us to connect with him even more. Nov 2, 2018 Full Review Brian Collins Birth.Movies.Death. Luckily, the movie was quite good, and I'm glad it's finally being released so everyone else can enjoy it. Oct 10, 2018 Full Review Aaron Peterson The Hollywood Outsider To Hell and Back shines a light on the peaks and valleys of both actors and stuntmen, while illuminating the character of Kane Hodder himself.

James C A must watch for all horror fans. I laughed, I cried, I enjoyed. Goes really well with his book Unmasked. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/19/23 Full Review Audience Member A great great documentary on one of the most iconic horror actors of all time, Kane hodder. What he went through to get back up and carry on pursuing his life-long goals will leave you believing the word "impossible" does not exist if you want something bad enough Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Emotional, funny, informative. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/14/19 Full Review Audience Member Something new to learn about a legendary icon. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Excellent he is also the nicest man you will ever meet so wonderful to his fan's Kane is the man. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member "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 01/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
