It wasn't anything new, it was old riffs done in a way that was actually quite efficient.... The nastiest is the right level of nasty, the silliness is the right level of silly.

Plotkin's relentless button-pushing, coupled to the script's cringe-inducing yooftalk, instead mark Hell Fest as unmistakably the work of middle-aged execs trying to jab suggestible teenagers back into cinemas.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 16, 2018

They did this 40 years ago, and better, in 'Halloween.' It's getting really, really tired.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Nov 16, 2018

It has one of the most glaring goofs that I've seen in a long time...

| Original Score: D+ | Oct 5, 2018

This is cash grabbing at its most blatant.

| Original Score: 0.5/5 | Oct 4, 2018

Frustratingly by-the-numbers, depressingly formulaic and disappointingly rushed during its climactic stretch.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Oct 2, 2018

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

| Original Score: D+ | Oct 1, 2018

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

| Original Score: D+ | Sep 28, 2018

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

| Sep 28, 2018

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

| Sep 28, 2018

A pretty bad movie that makes a great case for more slashing at horror theme parks.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Sep 28, 2018

If you've got a friend who isn't into horror movies, this isn't the one that'll change his or her mind, but for someone who's undeniably drawn to the campy slasher sub-genre, this fairly straightforward thrill ride is a good time.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Sep 28, 2018

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

| Sep 28, 2018

The premise allows for some spectacularly spooky sets, though director Gregory Plotkin and a team of screenwriters fail to use them for anything all that scary.
