Review of Hellhole

Poland, 1957, a priest is about to slay a baby on a church altar when the police burst in and shoot him dead. The baby has an unusual scar on his chest. Thirty years later and a cop "Brother Marek" goes undercover in a rural monastery, investigating cases of missing women. What he finds are fake exorcisms, cannibalism and Satanic rituals. Marek has the same chest scar as the baby at the beginning. I find Netflix movies to be very hit or miss but Hellhole is pretty good. The film is set in a wonderful looking old building, large, decaying and very creepy, the cemetery in its grounds ooze Gothic horror. I don't speak Polish but the cast and acting were good, gore fans are treated to some serious splatter, mutilated corpses and a very graphic throat slash. I found the plot to be original and interesting, though the finale is perhaps too ambitious, it's a "wow!" ending but more in the surprise sense as opposed to one of admiration.
