Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
Dorathen Better Late Then Never
Spoonixel Amateur movie with Big budget
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
Claudio Carvalho While watching "Hellbreeder" on DVD, I was really trying to understand what was happening on the screen. I decided to stop the movie for a moment and read the cover of the DVD seeking a hint. However, the only thing that I could notice is that the directors and writer apparently were under effect of acid or LSD when they wrote and shot the film, and the images are probably based on a bad trip. This movie is simply awful, among the worst I have ever seen. There are very few lines, and the plot is a complete mess. Further, I can not understand why this flick is tagged "horror" - actually "Hellbreeder" is horrible and dreadful, a waste of time. My vote is one (awful).Title (Brazil): "Labirinto do Inferno" ("Labyrinth of the Hell")
bowliniscool Here's the scenario: You walk into the local video store and you see the B-Horror section. You think to yourself, "Maybe I'll get a bad horror film tonight and enjoy some pathetic film making." You walk down the isles of movies and one catches your eye. A movie known as Hellbreeder. You think to yourself, "This looks interesting." Well trust me you couldn't be more wrong. This is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. I can say this because I have seen the worst of the worst B-Horror films, from Ed Wood's Plan 9 From Outer Space, to the early 80's Scalps. The plot will remind you of Stephen King's IT; a scary clown that kills little kids. This plot is good for the basis of a horror film, yes. But what it lacks is any kind of acting, dialog, camera stability, good special effects, and really there is no way to tell what is happening. There are actually scenes in this movie that made me very sick because of the camera movements. I really do not know what else to say to express my disgust in this movie. So I'll put it really simply.DO NOT!!! - AND I REPEAT - DO NOT PURCHASE THIS MOVIE!!! Anyone who tells you otherwise should be committed.
cdlemere Before anyone starts thinking Dario Argento, no. This film was extremely disappointing for a variety of reasons and instead of typing a summary (which you can read on the back of the box) I will do my best to address some of the issues I had with this movie.1.)Stephen King Did it Better- The movie version of "It" is not as good as the novel, or even that great of film, in that the editing and re-imagining weren't that good. I do think, however, that the story idea was very original and scary. While watching "Hellbreeder", I was totally put off by the fact that the screenplay had several "coincidences" that have nothing to do with coincidence. Centuries old thing masking itself as a clown to kill children in their backyards with sheets blowing-would be one of these coincidences.2.)Leave the Surrealism to Argento, Boys- The filming techniques in this movie were interesting but too distracting. It seems like they were so busy looking for new angles, lighting and cells that the story gets pushed aside in the whole "look how awesome it looks" game. Watching the actress walk and stalk for ten minutes is not even suspenseful, let alone thrilling. Plus the repetition becomes almost comedic instead of horrifying.3.)When Good Special Effects Happen to Bad Films- The blood effects are pretty damn good, as is the scar on the actress' body, which does lead to a pretty chilling scene. Once more, it was wasted on a film where you're trying to figure out what the hell is going on.4.)Actors are NOT Bodily Functions- The detectives in this film are truly pointless in the end and are used like vehicles or bodily functions: something to get something done automatically. I hate when filmmakers can only make a plot move by adding someone for no real reason and then not even fleshing out the character.-Overall, this movie is a poor attempt at artsy-fartsy horror.
angey If you've seen/read Stephen King's "It," don't bother with this movie. Let's see....killer clown who has been around for well over a hundred years who kills little children. No one seems to be able to solve the mysterious murders, and, what a surprise, only kids are able to see the clown. The clown is all clownish until he goes in for the kill, where his face turns evil and his teeth go razor sharp. There's a scene where he kills a little girl in her yard amongst sheets hanging on a clothes line. There's a street named Dairy. Am I talking about Hellbreeder or "It"? The clue is "Dairy." In "It," it's the name of a town, not a street. If only the clown's name in Hellbreeder had've been Pennywizard...
