Hell

About This Movie

Hell is a raw and unflinching glimpse into the chaos of the Chechen War, directed by Aleksandr Nevzorov. The pacing feels almost frenetic at times, matching the turmoil of Grozny in '94-95. What strikes you is the stark realism; it’s not polished, more like a collage of moments caught in the crossfire. Nevzorov’s use of handheld cameras gives it this almost voyeuristic quality, pulling you right into the heart of destruction. The sound design enhances that chaotic atmosphere—gunfire, explosions, the disarray of life caught in war. The film doesn't shy away from showing the human toll, and it’s unsettling in a way that stays with you. There’s a certain gravity to it that you don’t find in conventional war documentaries.

Important documentary on the Chechen War. · Raw and realistic portrayal of conflict. · Not for the faint of heart, but deeply impactful.
