They Found Hell

In my opinion it is no movie that is a must have. The "hooks" weren't very catchy and I did not enjoyed watching it. The idea was good but the movie wasn't.

Considering this is a SyFy channel movie, I wasn't expecting a great deal. Not to say they haven't made good movies in the past, but within the constraints of made for TV movies. However I was very pleasantly surprised. Basically in the first 10 minutes you find out a group of students have been experimenting with teleportation, and after something goes wrong, they are sent to what is possibly either an alternate dimension, or hell, or both! It is somewhat of a Sci-Fi/Horror crossover (although the only real Sci-Fi component is the teleportation) that doesn't take itself too seriously, and is all the more enjoyable for that. Imagine Supernatural meets Grimm if it was written by Clive Barker (Hellraiser). There are some quite gruesome (for TV) scenes, although the special effects budget doesn't always do them justice. The scenery and settings were atmospheric suitably hellish, and the action doesn't let up throughout. In all this was a thoroughly enjoyable experience!

There were a couple imaginative moments, but the remaining is largely predictable. The soundtrack is horribly irritating, and the girls' screaming - without anything happening but yelling at each other and freaking out, gets tremendously annoying. Since the music does nothing to help, it is only because of one good twist in the middle of the movie that I watched it untill the end. Because of it, it deserves to be labeled "horror movies". But I would still recommend to watch something else if you are looking for some Thrill...

I enjoy cliché over the top movies and I enjoy well written well directed movies. Casting can be hit or miss but with a good script and direction can be hidden well.

Unfortunately the writing isn't quite cliché but uncomfortable. They use historical references without actually giving any real or fun bits from mythology.

I tried very hard to like this movie but the motivations of the characters, the cheap hooks that fail to hook let me cringing for most of the film.

It is a shame because this movie could have been great if there was more planning and time spent working on the nuances that get the view to care about the plot and characters.

Tried to watch this film, the utter stupidity of the characters was too frustrating. You will scream at your tv even if were in a great mood prior to viewing this mental atrocity. Oh and their mythical "hell" is just an abandoned factory with a couple flames here and there. Yes, really.
