Something's stalking the group of 20-something airheads traveling in Africa. Really poor script (best line: "I have to disinfect your wound before it gets infected!"), laughable character exposition and overwrought music cues substituting for any real suspense highlight this stinker. Tip: If you do decide to watch, drink a shot every time one of the cast says the word "Guys." You'll likely pass out before the first scene after the opening credits is complete, but you'll have had a better time. (If you don't pass out by then, please stop drinking, 'cause if you continue through the rest of the flick, you'll die of alcohol poisoning.)

For reasons I don't understand, this movie is was shot in South Africa using South African actors, but all of them worked hard to sound as if they were American. The accent doesn't sound American as much as it just sounds weird.

Although it is shot in Africa, the movie makes no attempts to show the beauty of the continent. Nor does it show any of the magnificent animals that the characters fear. Virtually every scene in the movie is so dull that it could have been shot on a soundstage,

The script is awful and the acting is worse.

No. No. No.

Don't get me started on the dialogue. Why reply with a simple Yes or No, when you can reply with a whole backstory.

The acting was okay, but, as previous reviewers have mentioned, it's hard to be arsed about some of the characters.

I tried to watch it all, hoping it would get better, but I was robbed haha.

If there was nowt else to watch, then give it a bash.

Or worm nextdoors dog?

I'm not sure how this movie averages 6.6/10? I wasn't expecting much after reading some of the reviews but after the first 20 minutes the movie takes a complete nose dive and never recovers. The acting is very amateurish and the story line isn't very good. I wouldn't waste your time on this one. It is beyond cheesy in every way possible. The premise of the movie isn't bad it's everything else!!

This movie was just horrible, by the time anything came to play the movie was more than half over. The acting was way below B rate, I could go on and on about how bad it all was but then I would be just drag'n it out, like the movie.

Wow. Just wow!

This movie was generic, so horribly and utterly generic. I mean, I couldn't even start to flesh out how generic this movie from writers George Garcia and Patrick Garcia turned out to be. No, you'd have to sit down and suffer through it, like I did, in order to fully grasp and comprehend just how insanely bland and mundane "Hell Trip" actually is. So on that account the movie's title actually does a good job at describing what you're in for here.

The storyline told in "Hell Trip" just takes all the stereotypical clichés that you've seen in horror and thriller movies since moving pictures was a thing on the screen. I mean, the writers here weren't even trying to be original at any point throughout the course of the 1 hour and 26 minutes that "Hell Trip" ran for.

The acting in "Hell Trip" were bland. But then again, of course it would be, given the fact that the actors and actresses virtually had nothing worthwhile to work with in terms of script, dialogue or character gallery.

"Hell Trip" has a couple of kill scenes, which sort of makes it almost worth suffering through the rest of the movie. Just almost, mind you.

I am rating "Hell Trip" a generous two out of ten stars. This was a massive swing and a miss from director Patrick Garcia. This is certainly not a movie that I would recommend you waste your time, money or effort on. Some of us suffered through this, so you don't have to.

The negative reviews are spot-on: This is a boring movie with bad acting, a dumb plot, and a stupid script. I stopped watching after the first laughable death and didn't bother FFing to the end because I didn't care what happened to these characters.

My favorite part were the 2 sisters who bizarrely had different accents. Serious LMAO moments listening to these 2 talk.

Don't waste your time with this donkey.

My main complaint is that the movie is, excitingly, set in Africa. And then the ONLY African stuff we see is a "native" and the sound of what might be a hyena.

Total waste of a potentially awesome setting. Ugh.

Plus it's dull and pedestrian.

One of the best movies ever made about Africa. Move over African Queen, this movie is so much better than that old classic.

This is about a group of happy-go-lucky Americans who go on vacation together in Africa seeking good times in a beautiful setting. They experience all kinds of pleasant surprises and some even fall in love. Needless to say there is a lot of romance happening under the moonlight. To top it off their 5-star vacation serves up gourmet food every night. Food and romance, this crew is living it up and making the most out a well deserved adventure.

You should expect to be entertained and amazed by this group's romantic excursion through the exotic African wilderness!

Horrible script, no way it was filmed in S. Africa, all you saw were Southern Pines every scene. Typical college age goofy, silly predictable outcome. We played games on who would die in what order. Funny to watch and make fun of.....

Mindless 'horror' with some comically bad acting and some not so bad but with some decent gore. I've seen much worse in this genre. Not sure what those who rated it so low were expecting. I will say it was strangely fragmented as if it was made for commercial television, so not sure where this was initially intended to air, but it plays like an R-rated film.

Boring, low budget film, poor actors game, very predictive.

When the poster is the most appealing aspect of a film, then you're in for a long trip of boredom and abysmal acting. Began fast forward through the awful dialogue about half way through, hoping to find something worth watching...I didn't. 2/10.

If you are going to make a movie this boring and low budget, at least and some nudity. Otherwise, save for a bigger budget. Hell trip was us watching it.

Nothing to see here... move along. Just the standard slasher with a masked killer killing people one by one with bloody gore. No redeeming cinematic value, nothing new. Uninspired direction in Africa. Watch it if you're totally bored. Or if you can't sleep at night. Horror snoozer. Nuff said.

This was actually quite good, although a bit slow in places. Location of the action was novel and interesting, and plot relatively exciting. Violence wasn't too gory for the most part, lots of slayings remained off-screen, still plenty of tension and scares. Quite well-balanced movie. For those who enjoy thrillers that take place in the wilderness.

Let's see, acting? Terrible.

Writing? Terrible.

Story? Terrible.

Special Effects? Terrible.

This was up voted. I didn't last 25 mins watching this garbage.

My 12 year old could have written a better plot. There is a flash scene near the beginning that leads you to believe there is something mystical about it. Surprise! It isn't. Everything else is down hill from there. I would also suggest casting from middle school thespians for better acting. Please note, I am not saying this movie is terrible. I couldn't leave you thinking it deserves that high of a rating.

Hell trip is definitely a sight for sore eyes. Some of the worse acting I've seen in my life and I've seen a lot. I will however give kudos to the actors for trying. It can only go up from here.

Don't waste your time.

The script is horrible.

The dialog is unbelievable.

I'm sorry for the actors in this film but even more so for the folks that sat through the whole thing.

And, of course, it HAS to be filmed in near complete darkness 90% of the time.

Was a decent storyline, acting & effects sufferable, we enjoyed this on a rainy Saturday night over popcorn & wine. Predictable ending though in my opinion but definitely not a movie to put at the bottom of your watch list. Give it a shot.
