Hellbound

About This Movie

Hellbound (2018) offers this gritty, almost claustrophobic atmosphere that you really don’t see much anymore. The choice to shoot entirely on black and white 16mm film gives it this raw, grainy texture, reminiscent of those vintage 70s horror flicks. The pacing is deliberate, allowing tension to build as these bikers get further into their nightmarish trek through the mountains. It’s not just about the scares, though; there’s an underlying commentary on recklessness and consequence. The practical effects used are striking, not over-the-top but effective enough to leave an impression. Performances are grounded, and there’s a certain authenticity to the characters that feels really refreshing in the horror genre today.
