I started to watch this movie with really low expectations but after five minutes I was really glad I did it. The main actor does a really good performance. The plot is entertaining and surprising and you never get a minute of boredom. I am in no way related to anyone in this movie but I highly recommend it. Not a master piece but I am sure most people will appreciate its originality. Very entertaining

Ok so I love a bit of humour in horror but the lead actor absolutely nailed it
Brilliant film, it had me hooked from the moment it started to the very end.
Made me make an account and write a review it was that good.

This was a lot of fun. I'd never heard of it. Has some nods to other movies, Evil Dead 2, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. But it's a horror comedy that is actually funny and quite original. And Meg Fraser, who plays a cannibal family's rebellious daughter...wow.
Good one.
Good one.

I'm not a fan of horror/gore but I gotta say, Bloody Hell was bloody good. A fresh perspective on gore, horror, and foreign family affairs. No bad decision making to survive (like in most horrorABLE films) tactics, for what it was, the story made complete sense for a change. A decent amount of gore, revenge and payback. A weekend must watch....enjoy.

Classic great horror film, entertaining the whole time and some unusual twist! Main character was great, and the plot was simple. Highly recommend watching!

I saw this come up and I never rent movies but the trailer looked unique. It was kind of low budget but honestly one of the best action, horror, comedy films I've seen in a long time. The main actor is actually really outstanding. I hope to see him in even bigger films. Wow, take a chance on this and you'll be rewarded too.

This was just a fun and entertaining movie. Without spoiling the film, the protagonist (Rex) spends a good portion of the movie talking to himself into and out of sticky situations. The banter between the two (the one?) of them is reason to visit this film alone, but add in a kooky family, violence, a touch of gore and a pinch of heart, and you've got a good time on a Friday night in.

This movie decides to be stylish. Comical quick-cuts and back tracks, a main character who carries on a conversation with himself for no real reason, and unexplained horror are lumped together to give Ben O'Toole a reel he can use to try to land the next Ironman incarnation.
We get O'Toole doing his best Robert Downey Jr. comic toss-offs in the middle of action sequences. Other than that, there is nothing going on here.
He is some guy....somewhere and then something happens and he deals with it and it makes no sense that it ruins his life. So he tries to escape his past and something happens and he deals with it....because despite his hallucinating projection of his ego .... he is just a super cool dude at his core.
The monster makes no sense. The people around him make no sense. But he is so busy talking to himself, and doing RD jr. wise-cracks, it doesn't matter.
Everything starts trivially, proceeds trivially and comes to a trivial conclusion. You'll chuckle a few times and see a few weird things, and then think....why did I watch this?

Not bad. Like I said worth the $6 I paid to see/rent it. Wasn't sure if I should rent it, but it wasn't bad. Some things were a little outlandish; but it is a movie not real life. Worth the price of admission.

Well, it can truthfully be said that the 2020 movie "Bloody Hell" from writer Robert Benjamin and director Alister Grierson is something unique. And granted, when I sat down to watch "Bloody Hell" all I knew about it was that it was a horror movie of sorts - which is essentially enough to make me watch a movie - and also that the movie's cover was rather interesting.
And on that note, then I believe that "Bloody Hell" is not a movie that will find a wide appeal to every one in the audience, as this was somewhat of an acquired taste. While there wasn't a whole lot actually going on in the storyline as the movie progressed, the movie was all about style and narration.
For a horror movie then "Bloody Hell" is not your archetypical horror. This is not a movie with jump scares or a lot of cruelty and such. Instead it is a movie about isolation and helplessness, and about being trapped at the whim of a deranged family.
What made "Bloody Hell" work for me was the acting performances, especially the one put on by Ben O'Toole, as well as the dialogue throughout the course of the movie. And I also enjoyed that whole trapped and restrained without any means of escape certain doom aspect that permeated the movie. So writer Robert Benjamin definitely managed to put together something interesting here with "Bloody Hell".
Give "Bloody Hell" a chance, as it might just be something for you, given its unique plot and presentation.
My rating of "Bloody Hell" lands on a six out of ten stars.

This movie is perfection in Dark Humor. The kind that fans will slowly flock to and discover. This is one of the hidden gems of 2020, in a sea of bad 2020 releases.
The story is insane, the plot is insane, and it's all very insanely entertaining!
It is so hard to get dark humor, especially done right, and honestly this movie shouldn't have worked. But the writing was just . . . Crazy good. Emphasis on the crazy.
Most of the credit has to got to the lead actor. I don't think anyone else could have pulled it off! The other actors clearly played well off of him and gave out great performances.
Oh, and that ending!
Don't miss out on what is gonna be Cult Classic. The perfect amount of dark humor, gore, and wacky!

This was a nice surprise.
Dont get me wrong, this isnt 'Dead Alive' or 'Evil Dead II'
It is slow in some parts, but over all, it is very original and frequently funny. There are some good action sequences and the movie keeps you guessing.
Ben O'Toole gives an award worthy performance. He carries the whole movie and looks to have a bright future in movies.
This is a wacky little film and I enjoyed it.

Just as I was getting tired of modern cinema a well written comedy/horror flick like this comes out. I loved the subtle nods to Evil Dead and internet self defense videos. Pretty funny too.
Gonna follow these actors and directors now. I liked this movie.

Minus Texas and a Chainsaw and you got this blood feast.
Weird but enjoyable - they really tried throwing so much at the wall. Admittedly, some things really stuck.
While Not-Devon Sawa, a concerned vet, attempts to save lives during a bank robbery, things go bad, swiftly and causes the "antihero" to get a bad rep. So much so, he has to escape to a random country where things...get...a...ton...worse. Some you would not imagine nor wish upon anyone.
I think they were trying way too hard at times and really hit the nail on the head more times than not. Plus, it gets progressively better, which is always the right way to go.
If you like weird, BLOODY and dark comedy...have one helluva good time with this one.
***
Final Thoughts: I love Shudder. It's super cheap and not only has countless GREAT horror films and TV, it has gems like these you've never heard of. Definitely my favorite streaming channel.

What a delightfully, twisted, violent and just plain messed-up movie.
It certainly made the start to an otherwise bleak 2021 a little brighter.
An army vet with emotional issues is caught up in a bank robbery. He saves the day but is punished for his heroics. He decides to start fresh in a new place but trouble seems to follow him.
If you like your movies violent, bloody and unnecessary, you will enjoy this one.

I'm sorry to say the pacing is very off! long drawn out scenes that add nothing mixed with short bursts of action .the script and the dialogue needed much more work along with the acting of the lead female actress all in all a huge let down .I have no idea what film the other reviews are about.In hindsight I should of been suspicious of all the 9 and 10 ratings

Good movie, stops before grotesque. Its mainly creepy. Acting staff are pretty which is important when making between an AA and B grade film. Main character, Hateful Mother and the Love Interest is are great in screenplay and portrayal. Loved the Cannibal themes and the Lovable loser main character thinking to himself. Audio is good creep complement.
There are a lot of movies coming out with somewhat the same premise and most of them rely on standard ways to earn money (jump scares, forgettable acting, another remake, another twist in a franchise, ...etc.)
But this one was a fresh take on, well, the horror comedy genre.
It has a surprising way of storytelling, with the use of some flashbacks. But in this story, they fit well.
The use of a physical conscious (for what the audience sees), is hilarious.
Big thumbs up for the lead actor. He did a great job with that.
But also. It's nice to see something that isn't trying to go into your face all the time with those mentioned (cheap) jump scares or forced humor. It's just good storytelling, good acting, nice pace, great camera work.
Well done!
