I read a lot of bad reviews on this site, but I saw this DVD yesterday and don't think the movie is that bad. O.k., there are a lot of plot holes, the movie is way too short and it could have been a lot better with a better scenario, but there are a few very good scenes, especially the scene with the clown... This is the creepiest clown since 'It'! The first scene is also good and scary. And the scene with the mute person... The end was not very satisfying, but if you want to see a creepy movie on a late Saturday night, you won't be disappointed. On internet the movie is often compared to 'torture porn' like 'Saw' and 'Hostel', but those movies have much more gory scenes than 'Amusement'.

Hellbent is the first gay slasher movie and it's great fun. The guys look great, there's a cute love story, the killer looks extremely sexy and there are some really gory scenes. The characters are nicely developed before some of them are killed. So you really care a bit about them, and that's more than you can say of most horror movies. Evidently it follows the rules of the slasher movie (the ten little Indians-scenario, the killer-behind-the door, etc.), but still it works. Sometimes the characters act just a bit too stupid, but that's just a minor point. I think that the ratings are really much too low, it's just a good slasher with some genuine scary moments. A great movie for a Saturday night.

I wanted to see this movie because of the great picture on the front of the DVD (a cheerleader-skeleton!). But the movie is a bomb... It's plain boring! And there's no cheerleader-skeleton to be seen in the entire movie... George Clooney gets killed in fifteen minutes, how stupid can a director be! The movie wasn't scary and there are way too many plot twists. The only reasons to watch this film is Clooney in an early role (I guess he too had to start somewhere...) and the actress who played Marcia in The Brady Bunch, she's kinda funny. But it's still a C-movie! If you want to see where other famous actors started check out 'The burning' (Holly Hunter), 'He thinks you're alone' (Tom Hanks) and 'A nightmare on Elm Street, (Johnny Depp).
