Wala has crafted a fine story, and impresses in his feature film debut with the TIFF film: Shook.
A college freshman joins her university’s rowing team and undertakes an obsessive physical and psychological journey to make it to the top varsity boat.
It is a shame when a movie like Hell Fest this is let down by the very reason for its existence – a slasher movie is only as strong as its slasher and the fear that slasher creates.
In an age where horror options are plentiful this time of year, Hell Fest’s derivative thrills almost feel insultingly disappointing.
