The movie is saturated with action, thrills, horror, and a bit of sarcastic comedy that will have you hungering for 6 Days To Hell.
In the opening scene, the stakes are set high and the story's main question and conflict are quickly established when JJ, played by Shane Woodson makes a deal with the devil to get out of hell. The devil Hellena played by Andrea Garces Lopez tells JJ if she brings her 7 souls she will let him out of hell.
There are no boring moments in this movie. You are constantly intrigued and want to know what's going to happen next. Each soul Hellena tells him to deliver ramps up and gets more dangerous for JJ and his own life is put in jeopardy. Despite him having to kill people to achieve his goal, you do root him on.
Shane also wrote the screenplay and he wrote a structurally sound screenplay with just the right amount of setbacks, foreshadowing and motivation for JJ. The dialogue is fun, witty, interesting and sarcastic, with random subtle comedy.
Shane stars, wrote and personally his biggest accomplishment was his directing. Shane truly is an expert director when it comes to taking on a low-budget project and producing big-budget results. He utilizes all his resources available and having a talented cast and crew was a huge contributor along with David M. Parks who is well known for his masterful cinematography.
7 Days To Hell is a great example of what a great screenplay combined with solid directing and competent actors can accomplish on a tight budget.

I was contemplating a few different new horror films to watch and a friend recommended Flesh of the Unforgiven and I have to admit I really enjoyed it. The opening scene grabbed me, a disturbing, scary yet sexy moment, I'M HOOKED :)
Right away I got into Jack and Sienna's characters. They are struggling financially and in their marriage. They head to a remote cabin in hopes of making things better and it's obvious their struggle is real, but you can tell they still truly love each other and want to work their issues out, mainly trust.
Doesn't help the relationship when she tries seducing him, but he turns her down due to him in the middle of writing so she storms off. To make matters worse his literary agent gives him 3 days to finish a treatment and he's struggling to write it big time. He then receives a video for inspiration from an unknown.....a vhs video, a disturbing video but yet it helps Jack. Worse is the video matter sucks him in wondering what will happen next.
A lot builds up to the surprise ending. Throughout the film there's wild and shocking moments and you have to pay close attention to all details to really catch what's going on. A few times I thought I had figured it out, then was smacked with an unexpecting moment. I'm actually going to rewatch it so I can pick up on more details.
