Hell Girl (2019) Reviews

• Hell Girl: Starts strong, spirals out of control

  Platypuschow2019-05-04

  I'll be honest when I put Hell Girl on I expected another hyper low budget ghost themed embarrassment alike so very many others I've seen recently. It's not, not exactly anyway. From the get go I was fairly impressed, the opening was stylish, the character development was fantastic, the script was strong and the cinematography was above par. For these reasons my expectations spiked, foolishly. It tells the story of a group of ghost hunters on a "Job" who fall foul of a malevolent spirit. You know, the usual stuff. Out of the gates I was enjoying it, but as soon as the movie really gets going it spirals into everything I feared that it was going to be. Don't get me wrong everything I said earlier still stands, everything is well above par and I have to tip my hat to everyone both in front of and behind the camera. So why the low rating? Well the plot is just awful nonsensical tosh. No amount of quality everywhere else could save it from that, and Tom Sizemore! I don't know if his career has just nose dived to this level or if he's doing a Robert Englund and paying back to the industry that made him but he's starting to be a blemish on a movie rather than a bolster. Better than what I expected it to be and very well made, but after about half way it turns real sour real fast. The Good: Michael Peter Harrison Well made The Bad: Some elements are beyond stupid Plot is just terrible Tom Sizemore

  I have never seen such a bad movie ever before in my life! Awful actors, silly story etc. Totally wasted time! I'd have rather peeled potatoes instead of seeing this!

• Turned it off............

  Tom Sizemore, who has no career left and a bunch of nobody actors star in whatever this is, a ghost story I guess from what I watched but it was so bad I turned it off after about 15 minutes. Lousy script, bad acting , cheap special effects, annoying characters, it was unbearable.

• We never had to do it for real before.

  A TV show called "Ghost Gang" is given $20,000 by Tom Sizemore to rid his cabin campground of a ghost. There is also a poster offering a $10,000 reward to locate a girl simply known as "Charity." We know right off Charity (Masha Malinina) is a ghost and we suspect the same of Laura (Tara Westwood). The crew has along with them a skeptic and we know they engage in fakery using period costumes and green screen. It isn't long before there is a body count. A policewoman shows up and helps them investigate. About an hour into the film we get an explanation, one made more difficult than it needed to be, sucking a lot of life out of the film. And where did they get all those body bags? The film has good characters and could have utilized them better. I did like the way the ghost aspect was done. Sizemore could have been replaced with someone more convincing. He is phoning in too many parts. The film had some F-words, an MF word which seemed forced and out of place as if used by someone who doesn't know how to swear. Guide: F-word. Brief sex. near tub nudity.
