Hell Fest
A masked serial killer turns a horror themed amusement park into his own personal playground, terrorizing a group of friends while the rest of the patrons believe that it is all part of the show. College student NATALIE (Forsyth) is visiting her childhood best friend BROOKE (Edwards) and her roommate TAYLOR (Taylor-Klaus). If it was any other time of year these three and their boyfriends might be heading to a concert or bar, but it is Halloween which means that like everyone else they will be bound for HELL FEST - a sprawling labyrinth of rides, games, and mazes that travels the country and happens to be in town. Ever year thousands follow Hell Fest to experience fear at the ghoulish carnival of nightmares. But for one visitor, Hell Fest is not the attraction - it is a hunting ground. An opportunity to slay in plain view of a gawking audience, too caught up in the terrifyingly fun atmosphere to recognize the horrific reality playing out before their eyes. As the body count and frenzied excitement of the crowds continues to rise, he turns his masked face to NATALIE, BROOKE, TAYLOR and their boyfriends who will fight to survive the night.

...it's pretty much everything you look for in a low-budget horror movie.

If it were any good, it could have been the movie of the moment. Instead, it'll have been forgotten by Halloween.

A competently crafted slasher film rendered instantly forgettable by its disinterest in character, plot, and motivation, let alone original ideas.

Razor sharp, with a cast of characters so likable you'll hope they all survive, Hell Fest is a giddy and almost euphoric horror experience.

Reveling in the kind of scares that were popular in the 1980s, this slasher fest is far from great, but the characters have an appealing realness, and it's spirited and fun overall.

It delivers the tedious, heavy-breathing buildup associated with the genre, but skimps on the scares and the gory, gooey good stuff.

You've seen it all before, and better: A blade to the chest, an axe to the leg, a syringe to the eye.

... with the coolest Halloween mazes you've never seen, characters are kept on their toes as much as the target audience wishes they were in there with them.

[A] fun, well-paced slasher.
September 28, 2018
A pretty bad movie that makes a great case for more slashing at horror theme parks.
September 29, 2018
A straightforward slasher movie of the old school [that] keeps the gore level to a merciful minimum, but offers little suspense or excitement to compensate...for the most part this is pretty dull going.

Captures all the fun and excitement of wandering aimlessly through an amusement park with boring people you don't like.
