A Place in Hell

Wow...just wow. I like most low budget horror films but this was GARBAGE. I rarely root for characters to be killed but the Holly Monroe character was so cringey I was happy when she bit it! Also the movie poster was quite deceptive. There is a scene where the killer just walks up and starts choking someone and the rest of the group just stands there and watches! No fighting back, no screaming and no running away for several minutes. Also the killer is supposed to have killed a whole party of people? I guess they just stood in line and waited until their turn to be killed. Who are these people? You can drive a semi through the plot holes in this mess! Stay away! I wasted my time so that you don't have to!

I try not to be hard on films not produced by major studios like Universal or Lionsgate, but whoever greenlighted this sorry price of crap should be shot in the back of the head and thrown into a volcano. The acting is SO incredibly bad, it hurts to watch. The plot is something I've seen over and over. Hollywood is seriously running out of Ideas. To be fair, I did buy this at the dollar tree for a dollar. I want my dollar back.

A group of college kids are assigned the task of making a horror film short. They choose the New Jersey location where there was a killing by a necrophiliac serial killer...kill then rape, not my first choice. The film was extremely uneven. At times it was a comedy and a spoof and at other times it attempted to be a serious slasher, which it never was. I loved several of the characters while others needed work. It was supposed to have been based on a true story which didn't ring true. Supposedly the man who confessed to the crimes was executed. New Jersey has not executed anyone since 1963. Free legal advice: If you are smoking something illegal, don't film yourself doing it, or any other crime. The clown on the cover doesn't really play into the feature. This is not a clown killer film. PLOT SPOILER: The final girl has sex, which goes against the unwritten code of horror films. The film worked best as a comedy-horror and there wasn't enough of it.

I am a huge fan of scaring myself while watching horror films. A Place in Hell was a breath of fresh air. Not many horror films can grab me and keep me on the edge of my seat. Lewis Smith's performance was mesmerizing, you can tell how tortured the detective is just by the rythym of nuances sprinkled throughout the film. And the Holly character was funny. I would definelty reccomend this film to anyone that is looking for a good time. For me, it was the perfect concoction of horror, tension and comedy!!!!!!!

So my dad bought this movie at Wal-Mart and I wish I could sue Wal-Mart for selling this piece of garbage. There is, literally, not a single redeeming aspect to this movie. Heck, the only reason I'm taking the time to review this monstrosity is to prevent other people from throwing away their hard earned money and/or their valuable time. I don't know if this movie is actually based on a real serial killer, but if so, they should sue for slander or something. DON'T NOT BUY OR WATCH THIS MOVIE!
