What the Hell

About This Movie

What the Hell (2024) is an intriguing blend of animation and dark humor, presenting a fresh take on Dante's vision of the afterlife. The narrative centers on Charlotte, a Harpy with sharp wit, who’s trying to escape the crumbling chaos of Hell. The pacing fluctuates between frantic moments and reflective pauses, really capturing the absurdity of her situation—especially when she finds herself trapped in an elevator with Asterion, her ex. The character dynamics are compelling, and there’s a certain rawness in the animation style that adds to the whole atmosphere of living in apocalyptic times. It’s not your typical animated fare, and it leans heavily into themes of redemption and personal growth in a rather chaotic setting. Worth checking out for its unique tone and approach.
