Collections of shorts by different directors can vary wildly but this is relatively even. Stories about a chupacabra and two school meal cooks are probably the weakest, the latter out staying its welcome to drag out a predictable twist.
A story of an inanimate object coming to life is fun, and should appeal to anyone who enjoyed Rubber (2010) as the two have a similar feel. Another sketch is reminiscent of Pick of Destiny (2006), while others have the feel of American Werewolf in London (1981) and Life After Beth (2014) or Nina Forever (2015).
That's it, in a nutshell. Nothing particularly innovative, but fun to tick along with. The first and last sketches are my favourites but I felt the film could have been better with a connecting thread, like a crypt keeper, a summer camp counsellor or deranged psychiatrist to smooth the transitions. Even just a Twilight Zone (1983) twist to link those bookend stories.

I truly enjoyed this and was entertained enough I didnt leave my seat! Would definitely recommend it and or watch again myself. Had some good laughs and it was easily entertaining. Had some great gore to it as well.
Not sure what you have to smoke to make it through the entirety of this but it's safe to say it was hands down the worst thing I watched all year. Unbearably bad.
A fun and daring collection of darkly comedic horror shorts. The comedy is at least amusing when not laugh-out-loud funny or clever, which it is often enough anyway. Some bits are pretty gory, so this isn't for the squeamish. I liked this and I'll watch it again.

Must say I was very surprised. Hellarious was a good time. Had a nice natural comedic tone to it, had a couple stories that should be in the anthology story Hall of fame(Until death, Killer cart, Once bitten) nice pacing, nice gore and effects and it had the most important element every horror film should have, it wasnt boring. Worth checking out indeed.
