Hellbent DVD

Slasher film meets gay romance in this horror outing from executive producer Joe Wolf, a co-creator of such classics as NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET and HALLOWEEN. With a look that borrows from both 1970s horror and candy-colored L.A. fantasy, the film follows four likeable young gay men who hit the town on Halloween, with big plans to attend West Hollywood's extravagant Carnival celebration. The group is comprised of Eddie (Dylan Ferguson), a wholesome type who works at the police station; Chaz (Andrew Levitas), a bisexual hedonist; shy, inexperienced Joey (Hank Williams); and Tobey (Matt Phillips), a male model who longs for true love. At work, Eddie saw some police photos of a gruesome slaying the night before, when two gay men who were making out in a car were brutally decapitated, so Eddie is duly cautious, but his three friends are intent on having a good time. Thrill-seeking Chaz takes the boys for a shortcut through the woods where the murders took place, and, en route, they encounter a well-built silent type in a devil's mask, who they think is trying to pick them up. They tease and taunt, unaware that this is the very same murderer from the night before, and the rest of the night this mysterious being--who may or may not be human--stalks the friends to extract his revenge. Meanwhile, the virginal Joey has a life-altering encounter with the man of his dreams, while Eddie makes headway on a relationship with Jake (Bryan Kirkwood), the motorcycle-riding, cigarette-smoking bad boy. Much of the film's appeal lies in the spectacular location footage of the Carnival, while the plot delivers some true nail-biting suspense along with plenty of gore. Although it's pretty clear from the beginning who will and won't make it through the night alive, there are still plenty of surprises, including a very memorable eyeball scene that will disturb even the least squeamish of viewers.

This is the only Dylan Fergus video. Stars also making their debut in this video: Hank Harris, Matt Phillips.
