Hell Trip

Wow. Just wow!

This movie was generic, so horribly and utterly generic. I mean, I couldn't even start to flesh out how generic this movie from writers George Garcia and Patrick Garcia turned out to be. No, you'd have to sit down and suffer through it, like I did, in order to fully grasp and comprehend just how insanely bland and mundane "Hell Trip" actually is. So on that account the movie's title actually does a good job at describing what you're in for here.

The storyline told in "Hell Trip" just takes all the stereotypical clichés that you've seen in horror and thriller movies since moving pictures was a thing on the screen. I mean, the writers here weren't even trying to be original at any point throughout the course of the 1 hour and 26 minutes that "Hell Trip" ran for.

The acting in "Hell Trip" were bland. But then again, of course it would be, given the fact that the actors and actresses virtually had nothing worthwhile to work with in terms of script, dialogue or character gallery.

"Hell Trip" has a couple of kill scenes, which sort of makes it almost worth suffering through the rest of the movie. Just almost, mind you.

I am rating "Hell Trip" a generous two out of ten stars. This was a massive swing and a miss from director Patrick Garcia. This is certainly not a movie that I would recommend you waste your time, money or effort on. Some of us suffered through this, so you don't have to.

Something's stalking the group of 20-something airheads traveling in Africa. Really poor script (best line: "I have to disinfect your wound before it gets infected!"), laughable character exposition and overwrought music cues substituting for any real suspense highlight this stinker. Tip: If you do decide to watch, drink a shot every time one of the cast says the word "Guys." You'll likely pass out before the first scene after the opening credits is complete, but you'll have had a better time. (If you don't pass out by then, please stop drinking, 'cause if you continue through the rest of the flick, you'll die of alcohol poisoning.)

Don't get me started on the dialogue. Why reply with a simple Yes or No, when you can reply with a whole backstory.

The acting was okay, but, as previous reviewers have mentioned, it's hard to be arsed about some of the characters.

I tried to watch it all, hoping it would get better, but I was robbed haha.

If there was nowt else to watch, then give it a bash.

Or worm nextdoors dog?

Boring, low budget film, poor actors game, very predictive.

My main complaint is that the movie is, excitingly, set in Africa. And then the ONLY African stuff we see is a "native" and the sound of what might be a hyena.

Total waste of a potentially awesome setting. Ugh.

Plus it's dull and pedestrian.
