Hell Fest

While Hell Fest is not a great film by any means, it was still fun to watch. It’s been years since a decent slasher horror film was released in theaters and I didn’t get bored watching it. Yes, better actors could have been used and the scares could have been much more creative due to the horror theme park setting. There were a few scenes that were somewhat suspenseful, but nothing you haven’t seen in other movies. I will say the 3rd act is the best part of the movie and the ending left me feeling a little creeped out (once you watch, you’ll know what I mean). If you’re a fan of theme parks and horror movies, then you should have fun watching this, just don’t go in with high expectations.

Fell asleep a few times..not what we expected. Terrible acting and overall not great! We had to leave..that bad.

Eye candy without much to offer the brain or emotions, Hell Fest is a competently crafted slasher film rendered instantly forgettable by its disinterest in character, plot, and motivation, let alone original ideas.

Hell Fest has exactly one genuinely nail-biting scene.... Otherwise, the movie does little to update, subvert, or comment on the trappings of classic thrillers like “The Funhouse” and “Halloween.”

The killings aren’t particularly gripping, there’s little suspense in the earliest ones and the menace is pretty watered down for much of the movie.
