Here Comes Hell

Yes the sound quality is poor and the acting could be better... But it's a brave effort and for £20,000 it's surprisingly engaging... Certainly a lot better than "The Dead don't Die" and other Hollywood offerings... If it's cold and raining and there's nothing else on the telly - It's well worth a watch... You won't be disappointed...

Ha! Good old campy black and white horror fun, with some more modern gory effects and probably what Diane Behindstein would classify as 'assault weapons'. Add some bad jokes and cheesy one liners and what you've got is a pretty entertaining little flick.

A little House of Usher moment at the end and you have a decent 6/10

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.

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.

'Here Comes Hell' doesn't live up to its premise of Agatha Christie period piece meets Lucio Fulci gorefest in an The Old Dark House makeover... but it is an affectionate emulation of a bygone era.

Director Jack McHenry does everything in his limited power to transport you back to the 30s: the aspect ratio, black-and-white photography, music, and even the chroma key compositing for car sequences. However, it's made with an excess of heart and not enough substance or skill to create the riotous horror comedy pastiche it wants to be.

6/10.
