HELLBENDER

Kind of a bummer this movie has such a great opening with such a powerful score that transitions into a cringe music video.

A mother and her daughter live a life almost in seclusion in a mountainous area of the United States. The adolescent Izzy only has as a friend, her mother, a woman full of secrets with whom she shares a primitive rock band. The mother does not want people to come near daughter, but Izzy manages to escape to the city several times. There she will discover that her family has a past related to witchcraft.

This movie was directed by John Adams, Zelda Adams and Toby Poser, and they clearly know how to direct a beautiful movie. From start to finish this movie is hypnotizing and beautiful, but there is a thin veneer of cringe that’s hard to look past. The acting and characters are good enough but never great, the kills are fine but could be better, and at the end of the day I think they are far betters movies out there that deal with the same themes in a better way.

I love this movies score, I LOVE this movies directing, but everything else really dosent work for me.

Just go watch GINGER SNAPS instead,

or watch this movie on mute
