"I watched this expecting the kinda straight to video horror movie that's everywhere right now.
It turned out to be more of a psychological horror with some weird twists and creepy dialog. Acting was good, maybe a little wooden in places. Script was clean and made sense. Atmospherics were good.
If nothing else, watch it for the psycho-clown! Oh, and the music! music really rocks!"

"Defineately not a mainstream movie, but brilliant in its own way. This movie is propelled mostly by visual dream like images which are used to tell the story or create feeling or atmosphere rather than dialogue. Where words can't move the story, an image fills the void. And when there is dialogue, it is quite poetic, and at times, tragic. When the main character dreams about her son's murder, she dreams of her angry husband and his parents, and her mother in law shouting "He was my pride and joy!!!"
It took me several viewings to fully understand the tragic, erie story, but I will watch this over and over again, each time uncovering a new secret I missed the first time.
And this is one of the most beautifully photographed films...it tend to favor different shades of yellow and greens. The cover kind of hints at how it was filmed.
I highly reccomend this forgotton and underated film. Don't go into it expecting a clear, direct story, but go into it expecting a beautifully presented story you will want to watch over and over again."
Could Have Been Worse....

"Hellbreeder is yet another killer clown movie. Evil has taken over a small town. A mother becomes consumed with finding the killer of her son.... a killing she witnessed herself. When a stranger arrives in town, horrific murders begin and Alice(the mother) is convinced that this is the same killer and will do whatever it takes to prove it. Some cool gore/bloody scenes and violence. I've seen alot worse. Worth renting for the true horror fans."

"HELLBREEDER is so poorly acted, directed, edited and filmed that I couldn't even finish watching it. There are so many padded scenes adding nothing to whatever story there is, and it's about as exciting as paint by numbers. Definitely a loser."
