A Major Disappointment

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

This is a grindhouse film also titled "Sickle" after The sheriff in the film (Kane Hodder). Sheriff Sickle runs a town appropriately called "Red Stone." It is isolated from the beaten path so mostly bad guys stop there. After a strip joint has been robbed our bad guys stop there, only to encounter a group of people that make the Wild Wonderful Whites of West Virgina look like French rocket scientists.The film was short in length. It never established character. The plot was short and sweet too. I liked the grindhouse aspect of the film, they just didn't do enough of it.Meets the requirements for a serious grindhouse, if that is all you want.Parental Guide: F-bomb, sex, nudity (Tiffany Shepis, Taryn Maxximillian Dafoe + uncredited strippers)

Just...just awful. A "plot" built entirely around shock value, with in your face shots and cuts meant to be artsy but that just come off as annoying. Every cliché is here, from the nonsensical "preacher" on the radio babbling pseudo-religious nonsense meant to add an eerie sense of metaphysical doom, to the overweight "doesn't know what monsters his family members are" jolly little boy. It's as though the filmmaker knew he had no real ability as a storyteller and recognized that his only chance of making something memorable was to go all out and plant visceral images in your brain. They'll stick there, but in a way that makes you wish you'd done anything else with your time then fight through this movie.

A local gang rob a mafia run strip club, shooting up the place and killing anyone in sight. They head south for the border, but when they enter the town of Redstone and begin terrorizing the locals, they find that crime is a dish best served cold! The film has a decent cast of Kane Hodder, Rena Riffel and Tiffany Shepis, three folks I have had the pleasure to chat with and interview. Whether they are used to their fullest is debatable -- I think Riffel in particular gets short shrift here.The opening credits and much of the film is stylish, somewhere between the Robert Rodriguez grindhouse style and the aesthetic of Rob Zombie. Does it work? Not sure. Some scenes are pretty cool looking, and other times I felt like they tried too hard and did not achieve what they set out for.

(May Contain Spoilers) It's sad that Kane Hodder will do any film that will pay him because in a film like this he comes out as the only positive.The story jumps around into several parts before overlapping into one general story, you follow gang members who after entering a small town and robbing the place have to deal with the sheriff. Then you have a group of friends who get trapped into town and the one girl gets kidnapped. You then soon find out that Kane Hodder is killing and cooking the people to eat and feed to his fat wife and kid. Honestly the story makes little sense and if you intend on trying to actually follow it then something might be wrong with you.What they try to add to the film for a added bonus is that it is shot to look like a old grind house film with cut moments, blended colors, blurred and deterring film looks and the such. Throw a lot of blood into that and you should have a good film, but it doesn't work in Exit To Hell at all. It hurts it even more. Sure the blood and gore moments may be cool but after viewing the film I could only remember one moment from it. They present nothing new to us.Acting wise you get what you expect and you should be expecting horrible acting. Kane Hodder as expected is the shining star of this acting like he usually does. Nobody else is worth mentioning because they are that forgettable. Expect a lot of people either over acting or just acting horribly.Overall if you want a film with Kane Hodder there are better ones, if you want a horror movie there are better ones, and really if you want anything there is something better to watch. Kane Hodder is the saving grace of this film and because of that he saves it from the worst possible score.Score : 1/10 www.apocalypticdemise.com/2014/01/16/exit-to-hell-2013-movie-review/
