This flick was okay, for what it was. But a fictional re-enactment that tries to obfuscate the truth of what it is just kind of insults everyone involved.

My wife actually thought this was real, when it was blatant that it was fiction.

We fought over this issue.

I know this is a mockumentary, and I usually truly enjoy this sub genre but....WHO THE HELL IS MOWING A CEMETERY IN A GHOST TOWN??? Sorry, that kind of oversight is laughably inept. Other than that, it's decent.

Whether you do, don't know, or don't at all, it doesn't really matter. It was well done and even cell phone footage was kept to a minimum. While watching this on a streaming site, I almost quit after about 15 minutes, but everything was presented in a way that kept me interested just enough to keep watching right to the end. The consperisy theorists should be happy with this one.

This was pushed on tv as a documentary. It's not. It's a movie with actors pretending to be genuine. It became apparent to me within the first 15 mins. Terrible over dramatic acting. At that point, I typed in the name of a "resident" online and it brought me here. The actors listed next to the people who were suppose to be real. Save your time. Not worth watching if you're looking for a true documentary.

This showed up in my hulu recommendations on a chilly Sunday morning and it looked interesting. I watched more than half before I stopped it to do some research on Boston, OH. I learned that this film is mostly fictional. Very little of what is depicted in this film is factual and everyone "interviewed" is an actor. If you go into it knowing that, maybe you will enjoy for what it is. But i felt that both the film and Travel Channel pass it off as a legit documentary, making it a total waste of time in my opinion. I regret watching this.

I moved to Northeast Ohio back in 1995 and when this "documentary" came on today, I'd wondered why I'd never heard most of these stories. I knew where Boston Township was, but had never heard of it being called "Helltown." So while I was watching it, I began looking things up on the internet. I became really suspicious when the supposed professor at Tri-C pronounced Cuyahoga "Coy-uh-hoe-guh." The more I researched, I finally found out this entire film is made up. The ONLY truth is that the government did start buying up homes in that location in 1974. It was to create Cuyahoga Valley National Recreation Area, not National Park. It did not get a National Park designation until 2000. The rest is utter BS.

I thought it was great. Sucked me in as a "Documentary". I began searching the ole Googly about an hour in & realized that it was not real. Disagree with the rating as I personally found it really well done & entertaining.

Some people watch soaps, wrestling, curse of oak island. Other believe in the Easter bunny, aliens. I enjoyed watching is Film. No foul language no sex, no smut.

Its slightly watchable for comedic purposes. The "facts" are 99% made up. Living close to the area, knowing the truth and seeing this touted as truth is very frustrating.

Soooo fake. Insults one's intelligence. How did this even make it to TV? You can do better, Travel Channel!

I can't believe I wasted 2 hours and countless brain cells watching this 2nd rate "Blair Witch" .

Statlrted out like it might be a real story. By the middle it became obvious that it was a low budget play for attention. Sorry that the actors will always have their names associated with it

The movie isn't bad when you take it for what it is. If you're viewing it like a doc, then obviously something is gonna seem off. Half of these reviews seem to not know what genre they're watching. Acting is average and the plot was relatively good. Would recommend this film to others that enjoy mocks.

If you're going to create a supposed documentary, why not go all the way and present it in a manner that at least looks believable? One of the several issues I have with this movie is the look and feel of the talking-head and in the field discussion and narration portions of the program. The dialogue and on screen performances delivered by these individuals is so obviously scripted that it just doesn't feel real. Plus, the format used to present the story should use a singular approach. We have the red headed, bearded dude acting as an on screen narrator, the military man delivering the story and the guy who is investigating for his online blog. This story would have been much more effectively resented in a format similar to that used on the television show "A Haunting". A single off-screen narrator leading the viewer through the on-screen experience. But, most likely, these guys are the people behind the creation of this stinker and they wanted screen time.

In a word, Pooptown.

Everyone in this movie owes me 120 minutes of my life back for this mockery of film.

The conspiracy theory investigative reporter is just terrible. This is a mockumentary that has some decent parts but the guy that does the investigation is like Corey Feldman"s less talented brother. You can find something better to do for 2 hours. I finished watching this abortion so you don't have to. You're welcome.

Listen, if interesting enough, I'll sit through a film that attempts to pass itself off as a documentary, even if it's only remotely entertaining. This wasn't. Bad acting ruins everything. Some of it was decent. I was channel surfing and came across "Helltown." The acting was so poor that I only lasted about 10 minutes. I felt insulted that anyone would think I would enjoy this. Looking back on those 10 viewed minutes, I would be more apt to believe this was turned in as a high school, possibly college, film class project. Just not good.

So sad to see such horrible reviews for such a great movie. When I was younger my dad and I saw this movie and was drawn in by the fact there's a random town that for no certain reason is just abandoned. Yes there is a lot of stuff that was fake in the movie but it does make u wonder what is real and what really happened. You wonder the details of how it became abandoned in the first place and what happened to the people who were forced out of their homes. Movie gave me the creeps and highly recommend u give it a chance! I do wonder what helltown is like nowadays and if it's still as abandoned and creepy as it was.
