Hell Hole is a metal monster flick that will have crowds squirming, laughing, and cheering in equal measure.

The film still provides an entertaining watch but there isn’t much to offer underneath the slick and frozen ground it presents. It may be that this needed to gestate longer to adopt more meaning.

With a keen eye for comedy as it does for stomach-churning visuals, Hell Hole is another clever homegrown banger from the Adams family.

[A] movie for the ages? Not really. It’s a little too formulaic for that. Is it good fun? Hell, yeah. It delivers the requisite shocks, and overall it’s ... a solid example of the venerable disparate-people-trapped-with-a-monster school of horror,

“Hell Hole” suffers from clunky editing and awkward pacing. The CGI, though used sparingly, is embarrassing.

Well worth sticking your face into Hell Hole, as there is a prize inside the box of wood chips.

Hell Hole demonstrates how to make an economical but propulsive horror movie that is thoughtful but not pretentious, and often intentionally amusing.

Not short on imagination, it may be silly, but it’s gleefully wild in its approach to B-movie monster movie nonsense as well.

It’s kind of a disappointment, despite having some undeniable positives that should make it an easy watch for horror heads.

When it focuses on the monster and the dramatic tension surrounding who will be next to go, Hell Hole really shines. Plus – spoiler alert – people explode, and that’s always a boon in my book.

A lot of blablabla doesn’t necessarily torpedo a movie, but in Hell Hole, it’s just blah. Same goes for the creature effects, scares, kills and comedy.

No two Adams Family films have been the same yet and this is maybe the most fun they have had yet exploring the goopier side of horror with a relaxed approach that welcomely takes a more absurdist than full on frightful approach to an internal invader.

The Adams Family's latest horror movie, Hell Hole, might just be the wildest body horror story since John Carpenter's The Thing, minus a few issues.

Hell Hole is an outrageous creature feature that sometimes veers into silliness, even as it conveys important political messages.

In true Adams Family fashion, Hell Hole bends their heavy metal sensibilities and knack for stomach-turning imagery into one of the year's tastiest treats.

It may not feel like the most emblematic of the family’s close-knit filmmaking style, but it is undeniably branded by their touch, rife with naturalistic dialogue and sludge metal galore.

Hell Hole is a familiar sort of tale, of course, but it contains a few twists ... that make it distinct and surprisingly relevant.

Existing as a labour of love isn’t enough by itself to earn any film a pass mark, but when the result is a committed piece of indie genre work with a suitably silly sense of the macabre, this gets the job done.
