About this movie

In this new horror, a group of friends are bound for a Halloween horror-themed event at a local amusement park - a sprawling labyrinth of rides, games and mazes that travels the country and happens to be in town. But for one visitor, the ghoulish carnival of nightmares is not the attraction - it is a hunting ground. On the night the friends attend, a masked serial killer turns the horror themed amusement park into his own playground, terrorizing attendees while the rest of the patrons believe that it is all part of the show. As the body count and frenzied excitement of the crowd continues to rise, who will fight to survive the night?

Ratings and reviews

Not bad, but not good either. This movies lays somewhere in between. The acting is both good and bad, same with the story and the direction. It verges B movie territory while still sticking it's landing. I can recommend if you're interested in the slasher genre. If not, it probably won't change your mind.

Hell Fest was released to video about the same time as Blood Fest. The movies shared similar plots, however, I felt that the latter was more original than the former. As I watched Hell Fest, I noticed that there were several timeworn characters and sequences in the film. The stereotypical jocks. The damsels in distress whose legitimate concerns were ignored at the beginning. A game of hide and seek in a funhouse. A vague ending. I enjoyed the pretty/handsome faces and gore, though!

Great movie; the director made this theme park horror movie work to perfection which not alot of directors can pull off.
