Hell's Heart was the second movie I saw at the Beloit International Film Festival in Beloit, Wisconsin and I'm extremely happy I did.

I had no idea what to expect with this movie. The trailer made it out to be a demon possession/exorcism movie that would have a few twists and turns. It's easy to say that that's not quite what I got.

The cast was terrific, but the main high point was from the main actor Michael Kirby. Every scene he was in blew me away and his performance is definitely one worthy of nominations and awards. Everyone felt believable and natural in their roles and nothing really felt forced.

The movie was shot very well and have a very beautiful look to it. Every shot seemed to have purpose to it and I loved that.

The score was very reminiscent of old school 80s horror films and it worked all the better for it. I've listened to it a few times since I watched the movie and it only gets better.

I don't want to say too much about the plot because this a movie that works much better if you know very little to nothing about it. It's not what you would expect and felt very original, which is refreshing to see. I hope this gets a wide release so everyone can enjoy it as much as I did.

9/10.

I saw this movie at the Beloit International Film Festival in Beloit, Wisconsin. It was the first of two movies I was going to see and had a vague idea of what to expect. I thought it was going to be some kind of raunchy comedy based on what I knew about the plot. I was completely wrong.

This movie tugged at my heart strings on more than one occasion and did a great job of showing relationships between family and what the word family truly means.

The cast was all terrific and the writing was really well done. At times, it felt like the comedy didn't always work, but when it did, it was terrific.

Don't Worry Baby reminded me a lot of the movie Beginners in the way it was shot and made, but that's not a bad thing. It worked all the better for it.

All in all, Don't Worry Baby found just the right mix of comedy and drama, had great chemistry between the leads and supporting cast, and was a beautifully shot movie. I'm hoping it gets a wide release so I can see it again and so all of you can enjoy it too.

8/10
