Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
Orla Zuniga It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.
umimelectric Boring, clichéd teen ghost story/slasher that is more of an exercise in how to recycle tired elements such as overused sound effects, children being creepy, and the whole unborn demon pregnancy angle.What's worse is most of the movie is filmed in this gross purple-pink filter, which doesn't make sense... and as expected, the main character makes several unrealistic, irrational choices that help escalate the situation she's a victim of.I feel for Robert Patrick, who now seems relegated to playing the generic role of a small town cop in lame horror movies. His minimal screen time suggests he probably did not earn much for this appearance, though he is or was always a relatively dignified actor.This movie made me roll my eyes so hard that I could hear it, and incidentally it was the first time I jumped.
James Wright This movie is clearly a piece of pro-life propaganda from about five minutes in and while philosophical stances in movies and using horror as allegory is not always a bad thing, in this case it is just too heavy handed and shallow to really be any good.There is barely any thought given to character or plot and it is more all about creating striking visuals to drive home the message of how wrong it is to have an abortion. Whatever your stance on the issue it does not mean that you can't make a subtler and more thought-provoking film on the subject, otherwise you are just preaching to the converted.If you can look past the blatant bias that this movie possesses then there are some cool visuals and a dream-like feel that makes the film pretty unique considering it seems like the people who made it didn't actually care about the substance of their product. Still though I can't recommend a movie for style alone so I would give this one a miss, unless you just want to be told what you already know.
trashgang Be warned, not all horror geeks out there will adore this supernatural arty flick. Yes, I said the word, arty. There's a lot done with colour grading in post production and to make it look weird they added some arty shots. But is it still worth picking up, yes.What I did like about Hellions is the fact that you want to know what is going on and at the end you don't still know what is really going on. Being a horror it is low on blood and doesn't contain any gory moments but it's the creepy atmosphere created with the grading and sound that makes it worth watching.Gore 0/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 3/5 Story 3/5 Comedy 0/5
Leofwine_draca HELLIONS is another cheapie horror flick with a better DVD cover than the rest of the film put together. This one's shot in Canada and takes the likes of THE STRANGERS and TRICK 'R TREAT as inspiration; it's a low budget rip-off of the previously mentioned films, and consists entirely of a young girl being menaced in her house by creepy kids on Halloween.Now, I'm well aware that every idea under the sun has already been done in the horror genre, so I don't expect originality. However, what I do expect is a bare modicum of quality when it comes to the film-making, but we don't get that here. The whole thing looks as cheap as a found footage movie, and is unwisely shot through a pink filter to give it a surreal look when in fact it looks more like something a couple of students at your local college would produce.It's hard to fault the main actress in this, Chloe Rose, because she certainly puts her all into her performance, so it's a pity it wasn't in a better film. Rose plays a feisty young woman more than able to handle herself against the clichéd horrors she finds herself up against, and is the best thing in the movie. The rest of it is a dog. Oh, and that's an aged Robert Patrick, in case you were wondering.
