    Writer-Director Paul Etheredge-Ouzts has a clear understanding of the beauty of a slasher film. A formulaic genre, it’s not the blueprint that’s important, it’s what you do inside it that matters.

    You can be sure that his victims die shirtless, and are as dumb as the hetero dimwits who fell prey to Jason or Freddy, but what you might not expect is that this queer-slanted slasher flick is actually pretty good.

    Fairly competent but hardly engrossing.

    There's nothing here that hasn't been done before, and better, in any given "Halloween" or "Friday the 13th" sequel.

    OK, I didn't go into this movie expecting anything great I knew it was being marketing as "the first gay-slasher movie" and I heard from friends that it was descent to ok, but I must say that the few final scenes in the movie really made up for the movie after all. If you can get pass the bad acting, and bad production, you can really enjoy a fun slasher with a gay twist. Go campy horror fun.… Collapse

    Despite the one thing that would make this a good B-movie (motive), I had fun watching this flick. It played the Hawaii Rainbow Film Festival and all left smiling, if not chilled.… Expand

    I thought I'd have to walk out of "Hellbent" during the first 30 minutes. Every possible gay cliche was dragged out and paraded. The sound was terrible, and the blasting metal rock soundtrack drove me to distraction. But, once the slicing and dicing started, I decided to forget the plot holes (big enough to drive a Buick through), the poor-to-mediocre acting, and the straight actors playing gay, and just go for the ride. And, truthfully, it was a fun ride with some genuine scares and nail-biting moments. The last seconds of the film, though oddly unexplained, are truly brilliant.… Expand

    The acting and production are so bad, it makes gay porn look like Scorsese in comparison.
