Hell-Bent

About This Movie

Hell-Bent (2016) has this quirky, offbeat vibe that sets it apart in the comedy genre. The film dives into the absurdity of a struggling writer, Michael, who's working for Brimstone Magazine. The pacing is a bit uneven but somehow suits the chaotic narrative as Michael finds inspiration in the eccentric elderly secretary who has a penchant for summoning demons. It's not your typical laugh-a-minute affair; instead, it builds this strange atmosphere that oscillates between dark humor and genuine moments of reflection. The practical effects used during the summoning scenes add a nice touch of authenticity, and the performances, especially from the secretary, bring a unique flavor to the story. It's distinctive in its blend of the mundane with the supernatural, making it a curious watch.
