Here Comes Hell

I wanted to give it a 7/10, as it really marveled from being recognized as a low budget film, and I grew up watching classic monochromatic thrillers and horrors, yes a few musical dance movies as well.

It dropped to a 6 due to the sound editing, my goodness - it was all over the place from ear piercing volumes to near whispered. I am not sure if that was intentional or not, but it was not great at all.

The story was nothing new, but was actually rather fun and enjoyable to watch, less a few weak moments that really could have be played up and capture the excessive drama portrayed in a classic film style genre.

Here Comes Hell: Horror Comedy, a pastiche of 1930s films. People assemble for a a dinner party in a semi-derelict stately pile recently purchased by a gormless chap who has inherited his father's loot. An American oil heir travelling by train to the meet up is warned by a fellow passenger about a previous occupant of the house, an Occultist who scared the local villagers. The dinner party host has the spiffing idea of hiring a Medium who will lead a Seance to contact the Occultist. Things go wrong and Demons are set loose. Great scenes of possession, fingers bitten off, heads half destroyed with bullets but the possessed keep coming. Every cliche in the book is milked for laugh. An entertaining romp. Written & Directed by Jack McHenry. Streaming free at: On All4. 6/10.

Sort of Agatha Christie meets Evil dead. Quite enjoyable.

Saw this described as Blithe Spirit meets Evil Dead. While not as witty as Noel Coward or as gory as ED, it's still entertaining enough. Cinematography (black and white) and music are faithful to the 1930's and the cast are suitably camp.

*NON-SPOILER*

Here Comes Hell started off a little slow and it took a bit of time to build up to main part of the storyline. It's very difficult to recreate the old-fashioned look when it comes to the picture, however I thought a great job was done in that, credit to the cast too.

Just enough jumps and scare moments to bring the picture to life and although a little confusing in places it was definitely worth the watch in my eyes.

I get why this film was shot in B&W, but I kept trying to see this in colour and really though that it would've captured the picture better.

Overall, for the budget they shot a decent film.
