“Predictable” is one of the most damning words in film criticism. As a reviewer of films and as a filmgoer in general there’s nothing worse than when a movie goes exactly where you think it will without any nuance or fun along the way. Enjoying the ride is one thing; guessing correct so many times you should get a screenwriter’s credit is another. So that’s why movies like director Alister Grierson’s
Bloody Hell are so welcome. At no point in the entire 95-minute runtime was I exactly sure what was going on. For better or worse, it absolutely keeps you guessing.
Ben O Toole can t escape past, or cannibals, in Bloody Hell . The new horror movie Bloody Hell involves kidnapping, violence and cannibalism. The film s star, Ben O Toole, says it has a psychological message in addition to the visceral mayhem.
“I don’t know what’s happening, but it’s violent and a little horny” is certainly an appropriate mood for 2021 so far. It’s also the thought that ran through my head like a maniac with a chainsaw as I watched director Alister Grierson’s new horror flick
Bloody Hell.
Ben O’Toole stars as Rex, a former soldier that just got out of prison after he played vigilante hero during a bank heist with gruesome results. Now a tabloid sensation, he flees to Finland where he is immediately kidnapped by a cannibal cult. Luckily, our strapping wannabe hero has already captured the heart of the family’s reluctant and comely daughter Alia (Meg Fraser), who may be the key to him getting out alive.
