To Hell and Back: The Kane Hodder Story

I've been interested to see this since I first heard about. Kane is one of those Horror Icons that seems like an interesting guy. He's one of the best stuntmen in the business and been some of the biggest characters in horror like Jason Voorhees & Victor Crowley. I figured if anything it wouldn't be a dull watch. I'm a sucker for documentaries anyway. Combine that with my love of Horror and this was pretty much a no-brainer for me.

This was actually much more than I expected. It has a lot of heart. We learn a lot about Kane and how he came into acting/stunt work. The trials and tribulations he's gone through as well as the triumphs. There are loads of interviews with members of the horror community, friends and Kane himself.

I don't want to spoil anything so I will leave it at that. Even if you're not a big horror fan it's worth a watch. A must see for those of us who are horror junkies. It's a damn interesting view. We get a glimpse into the life of one of the people most synonymous with the genre. It's touching, funny, and as I said, has a lot of heart.

My Rating: 8/10

Such strength in the face of adversity. This guy is truely incredible.

I have a new found respect for Kane Hodder. The man has been through a lot and this is a story of much depth. More of a fan of his work after seeing this than even before!

Learning about this man took me on an emotional roller coaster, didnt know if I should be sad, scared, happy, or all together. It's amazing what he went through and I recomend anyone watch it even if you dont like the friday the 13th movies

I met Kane in '90 at a toronto horror convention, it was a big deal for me at that time. He was really cool. Very friendly. I brought a sharpie knowing I might get a few autographs, he signed a photo, let me take pictures, and a bit later someone else was asking him for an autograph and he looks over to me and says "hey, *says my name*, can i borrow your pen?". That was the coolest. Such a small thing but even my girlfriend was like "hey he knows your name!".

This was a great documentary. I admit i teared up a few times.

Years later i would work on jason x. Never would have dreamed of that. Hope he does Jason again.
