Leave your thoughts about Hellions.
| Consequence of SoundDominick MayerHellions offers so little beyond a repeated chant and some grotesque visuals that there's not even much to say about it. It's just a copy of a copy of a copy. |
| Aisle SeatMike McGranaghanA nifty way to get freaked out for eighty-two minutes. Hellions is Alice in Wonderland if Alice in Wonderland was about unwanted teen pregnancy. |
| Consequence of SoundDominick Suzanne-MayerHellions offers so little beyond a repeated chant and some grotesque visuals that there's not even much to say about it. It's just a copy of a copy of a copy. |
| Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeRather than engage in slow-build horror, Pascal Trottier's screenplay flips the switch into Poultergeisty chaos. |
| The Film StageJared MobarakNo matter how good these aesthetic tropes are at cultivating fear, however, the content inevitably falls prey to nervous laughter before sadly devolving further into eye-rolls. |
| Toronto SunJim SlotekIn its best moments, Hellions is interesting and perplexing and worth soaking in, in the sense that one would admire a Hieronymus Bosch-inspired painting. But without at least one foot on the ground, it doesn't inspire fear. |
| 4:3Dominic EllisMcDonald doesn't want you to have fun, he wants you to be about as uncomfortable as Dora is and, for the most part, he succeeds. |
| Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleHellions is art book horror, something to flip through but never truly eerie or scary. |
| AV ClubKatie RifePlenty of striking, clever, effective movies have been made simply by re-arranging and re-calibrating familiar genre elements. Hellions might have been one of these, if it was predicated on something slightly less shallow than “kids in masks + chanting + blood = scary.” |
| RogerEbert.comSimon AbramsThere is, in other words, nothing new in Hellions that you can't get already in earlier, more ambitious horror films. But McDonald delivers an effective thrice-told tale, and he does it with enough avant garde flair to show viewers that temper their expectations a good time. |
