Hell Hole

Led by father John Adams, mother Toby Poser and daughter Lulu Adams, the members of the family also called the Adams Family, have achieved fame and success in the world of horror filmmaking. First of all, get your a$$ to a streaming service and watch “The Deeper You Dig” right about now it is easily the best horror movie of this decade so far, and then follow that up with their ingeniously sick film “Hellbender”. These are very much personal genre films, films that resonate with strong themes of dread. The new movie is a bit different for John and Toby in this case, their daughter Lulu is credited as a writer but does not appear, in addition, this work has become the first movie they filmed outside the US (The film was shot in Serbia) and has a obviously higher production budget than their previous films. The works of Adams and Poser, as well as the works of most other independent directors, have a certain DIY charm, which, of course, is somewhat lacking in “Hell Hole,” the new film by a more commercial production company. When it comes to the overall impression, this is a bit of a disappointment, though not everything about it is bad and horror fans would probably enjoy it.

The work of the master, John Carpenter, is present in the horrific film “Hell Hole,” one may even suggest that he had a big influence on them. They draw on the idea that a remote avast is overrun by an invader set in the past but could be a hopeless-looking human, which was the groundwork of Carpenters’ ‘The Thing’. Their creation centers on the concepts used in the movie such as a gateway that leads to hell in “In the Mouth of Madness” and “Prince of Darkness.” The unfortunate subjects this time are a group (headed by Emily of Poser) who are involved in fracking in a remote region of Serbia when they begin to drill for something absolutely arbitrary. Something has taken place. The body of a soldier who died a few centuries ago in a stiffened position but in a living person’s body smokey finds out because he had deliberately paused. While sharing views on what should be done with the fracture in reality, they observe a peculiar thing about the Frenchman director because nobody has been able to resolve that something appears to be lurking behind his ear or nose. Before one even feels it or utters such extreme measures like burning with fire, the monster that was haunting that poor bastard transfers its allegiance to John Adam to carry on its rampages.

Here, the key twist of the story of body possession is that of male pregnancy the creature is growing inside men. Where’s mom? And what happens when pregnancy goes to term? The Adams Family certainly goes to town with some of their more out-there ideas, like when the creature in a human host gets so paranoid that it breaks a baby out of its womb and miles its way off. “Hell Hole” is an unbelievably goopy picture, featuring large quantities of thick, supra-red liquid and tons of sharply moving tentacles. It is also a lot more humorous film, more so than the intense drama that the family has delivered in their previous projects.

Speaking of, on the other hand, it’s good to see Adams and Poser sort of going out of their comfort zones and experimenting with new things here, but at the same time, it’s difficult to not feel that this one isn’t quite as vicious as some of their best films. It is rather a lark. There are, I guess, hints of a message about how messing with Mother Nature is not for free in the long run, but it’s very lightly sketched, and the protagonists lack distinguishing enough features to be actually seen. And yes, it’s moderately amusing that Emily was a hippie, and yes there is some good character work by Olivera Perunicic but the people here are of course compelled to pay respect to the enemy they are up against which brings a little sense of flatness to the whole thing which even good body horror does not. It’s intermittently enough fun, but simply not a particularly profound cinematic hole to dig.
