Hell's Garden

About This Movie

Hell's Garden is an interesting piece that leans heavily into atmosphere. The pacing feels methodical, almost drawn out, which builds an unsettling tension as we follow Helen. The garden itself becomes this character—overgrown, shadowy, almost alive. The practical effects, while not groundbreaking, are effective in creating that sense of dread. The performances are solid; you can feel Helen's fear evolve as the stranger's influence seeps into her life. There's a certain ambiguity throughout that keeps you guessing, and I appreciate that it doesn’t rush to answers. It’s a subtle exploration of how isolation can warp perception, which gives it an eerie depth.

Atmospheric horror with slow, creeping dread · Explores themes of isolation and perception · Interesting use of practical effects
