Holy Hell (2015) User Reviews

Oy! Fake Reviews

[arfdawg-1 · 4/10 · 12 February 2020]

This is a VERY low budget movie. For the most part, the acting is dismal. The writing is sort of dumb.

Taken as a whole, the film is a bit of a throw back to early John Waters movies, without the talent of Divine to make it work well.

The movie has a few high points and many low points. It doesnt really congeal in a way that makes to appealing for the entire 90 minutes.

Oh and of course, the rave reviews here are phony.

Should be on GarbageTown

Love GarbageTown podcast from Ryan but damn this needs to be on here like stat. Brought to you by a guy that thinks not having enough minorities makes a film bad and has critical opinions about a government in which he doesn't live in the country of.....GarbageTown presents: Holy Hell.

It doesn't happen too often that i agree with the obviously fake, overenthusiastic reviews of cast, family members or whoever. this time i must admit that, even if i don't share the euphoria their authors must have experienced, "holy hell" was better than expected, and more entertaining than most other low budget production. the lighting is a bit odd at times, acting and effects straightup laughable but the plot is grim and there's enough violence to keep you tuned. unlike other cheap flicks, it doesn't try to be something it can't be. the fact that it is obviously a "hobo with a shotgun" - ripoff is bearable.

Oh My God!

This movie sets out to be offensive, blasphemous and hysterically funny. Well, it does that. It wins hands down! Totally and utterly brilliant.

Strong performances and the actor, director was incredible. I was intimidated by the actor portraying the psychotic father. I loved the flow of the movie, it is dark, sick, funny, irreverent, gory, hysterical, dramatic, a master stroke of cinematography.

This is a movie that if you love comedy, you are going to love. If you have an inappropriate sense of humour, then this is YOUR movie! If you are gay/straight religious/atheist there is something to shock you, and make you laugh your head off.

Have fun! I know I did.

Incredible!

Over the top! The incredible duo of LaPlante and King bring this grind house revenge flick screaming alive. Not for the faint of heart, this horror comedy has something for everyone, a massacre by dysfunctional creeps unleashes a merciless priest bent on revenge and there's a lot of unpredictable lethal twists along the way, This movie has something to unsettle your sensibilities yet leave you craving the sequel. Be sure to check it out with a pint to two on hand. Incredible entertainment value.

I love movies like this!

A couple of people here are saying that they can't believe the positive reviews this film is getting, claiming it's just friends of the director leaving them. I never heard about this movie before, but it's exactly the kind of cinematic pleasure I enjoy. (I refuse to use the term "guilty" pleasure, because only mentally ill puritans would think pleasure is something to feel guilt over.

If you like Troma movies, the early John Waters stuff, cheesy 80s action flick one-liners, and exploitative levels of violence and gore, you'll get a kick out of this one. The acting ain't perfect, the effects aren't perfect, there's no real plot. None of that matters. Billion dollar production budgets and photo-realistic effects would probably make it less entertaining. It's something out of an alternative universe. But it's so damn fun. Just turn your brain off get over yourself. No one likes that sour face you're making.

Outstanding!

Phenomenal performances by LaPlante, King and all the cast. Incredible pawnshop broker. This film is a uproarious horror with killer one-liners, an awesome gun, an unbelievably gory chainsaw and soo much blood. Fans of Pulp fiction and Rocky Horror - you will be entertained! Too much fun a must see.
