Hellbox

If you can get passed the amatuer production and poor acting. It is slow but the acting makes it feel slower. Since it is indie film you cant expect oscar worthy.

Sure, I will admit that I was drawn in to watching "Hellbox" given the movie's cover/poster. Yeah, I am a sucker for horror movies, and I did find this movie's cover to be interesting. And the title of the movie does have a nice ring to it.

Had I ever heard about writers Sheldon Inkol and David Scott's 2021 horror movie "Hellbox" prior to watching it? No. Not even a single word. But with it being a horror movie that I hadn't already seen, of course I had to watch it when I was given the chance.

And the concept here was interesting enough, however the execution from script to screen just wasn't all that interesting. Sure, "Hellbox" was watchable, but it was rather monotonous and somewhat bland. So it wasn't a particularly great horror experience. And for a seasoned horror veteran such as myself, then "Hellbox" just didn't have the contents to deliver a wholesome movie experience.

The various segments felt slow paced and repetitive, so there wasn't much thrills or excitement to be had as "Hellbox" trotted on and on. And the acting performances in the majority of the segments was dubious.

This 2021 horror movie is not a movie that I will recommend you waste your time, money or effort on. Some of us suffered through this so you don't have to.

My rating of "Hellbox" lands on a mere three out of ten stars.

Ugh. Terrible I only got thru about 20 mins. The Director needs more schooling. The writer needs better ideas. And to the effects Master ..... blood is not that red.

Heed the reviews that describe the poor acting and worse production value. One would see better acting in the average YouTube video. This film is not only the worst film ever, but it is the worst thing to ever happen since the dawn of man.

Couldn't even watch the entire movie.

If there is a story here it's meandering aimlessly without a beat.

Flashbacks and uneventful scenes that are not driving the story forward leaves the viewer starved for progress.

And if there is a story they are crawling it forward just to fill up scene time.

Continuity errors. Tepid acting. Unremarkable editing.

Set design and wardrobe considerations are non existent. Probably budget constraints. A case of actors using their own clothing, homes and a crew members equipment.

The coloring of the film is bland. Not visually interesting. It's not a part of the intended atmosphere of the story.

This is essentially a talking heads movie with little in the way of "Hell" as the title suggests.

It's actually Hell to watch and Satan probably plays this movie ad nauseum to torture his damned souls.

Don't open this box indeed. In fact don't start this movie ever!

Yech. :P.
