| New York TimesMiriam BaleThis movie has the humor and insouciant pileup of bizarre and disgustingly beautiful images of a cult classic on late-night cable. |
| Examiner.comJeff BeckHellbenders doesn't take any risks, leaving the horror at too low a level and trying to get comedy from a situation where there isn't any, making this nothing more than a very forgettable film. |
| The DissolveSam AdamsHellbenders mostly feels like a doodle, an amiable lark that will amuse genrephiles and anyone else with their sights set appropriately low. |
| We Got This CoveredMatt DonatoIt's a shame this story about sinning saints doesn't provide the necessary shock and awe entertainment, because director J.T. Petty is sitting on some serious cult cinema potential - it just never is achieved. |
| Village VoiceChuck WilsonAided by capable if unnecessary 3D effects, Petty displays a flair for staging violent action, but he's trapped inside a broad comic set-up that doesn't mesh with the story's innate meanness. |
| VarietyJoe LeydonHellbenders becomes what it intends to burlesque, and that’s not so damn funny, even with 3D gimmickry. |
| RogerEbert.comPeter SobczynskiOne of those films that expends so much time and effort in trying to become the next big cult sensation that it never gets around to simply being a good movie. |
| User ReviewNick GThis movie is hilarious! This isn't for people who get butt hurt really easy over religion. You will find yourself quoting Clancy Brown's character. It is a very dark horror film about Priests who sin in order to send Demons and Devils back to hell. The fight between the priests when there boss is replaced by the arch diocese is golden. If you can find this on DVD, buy it- it's probably in the $5 bin but it's worth the nights of sitting down with your beer drinking buddies and laughing your asses off. |
| User ReviewTyler ALoved it. This film is destined for cult status. |
| User ReviewCody MHigh-concept, low-budget horror comedy about the order of the Hellbound Saints, a band of exorcists who live lives of sin in order to be tempting targets for the demons they seek to banish. But when one of their order is taken over by an evil Norse god bent on destroying God, they find they may just have their work cut out for them. Featuring a talented cast led by Clifton Collins and Clancy Brown (as the foul-mouthed leader of the order), the film has a perfectly irreverent tone that has a lot of fun with its central premise. However the movie does have a problem staying focused, which can cause it to meander even on its short running time, though director J T Perry does at least have enough talent to keep the audience invested in its eccentric characters and plot, even when the budget shows at the seems. |
