Can Horror Haters Stop Commenting On Horror?
10 March 2019
You don't see me writing a review for The English Patient! So please stop trying to ruin my horror!

Today's "my opinion matters" generation is constantly trying to sway the masses by dropping cheap stabs (pun intended) at a film like this, saying it had bad acting and they didn't care about the characters. I'm not sure if anyone informed you, but this is a SLASHER film. You're supposed to turn off your brain and enjoy the ubsurdity of it, put yourself in their shoes and scream at them when they make poor decisions.

If you're going to watch a horror movie, put down your cell phone, stop tweeting, shut the lights off and WATCH it. Not occasionally look up from your Instagram feed and decide "it's not scary enough." Hashtag till your heart's content AFTER the movie is over, dork.

Hell Fest did it's job and did it's job damn well. Is it Casablanca? No. But it delivered on scares, atmosphere, a damn decent body count and definitely bent the normal slasher rules which was a welcome change.

To hell with the horror haters. Well done, Hell Fest.
