Hellbenders (2013)

So I guess this movie slipped under the radar… Too bad. If the horror/comedy genre is your bag, you should catch this. Horror + Religion (The Exorcist) can be a pretty creepy combo, and this movie has its touches. The comedy aspect is not goofy slapstick, but sort of low key and character driven. Think of some of the weirder people you know — likable, odd-ball funny, but not necessarily of the “ha ha” sort. Then mix in the over-the-top plot and you have something quite different and a real blast. The cast was wonderful. I loved Clancy Brown’s character, a guy we probably all know, and Clifton Collins’ good-hearted punk. I liked these “debauched” Hellbenders because they were still good-guy Regular Joes, struggling with the dichotomy of good vs. evil in a world (somewhat) more off-kilter then ours. 3/5 OR 6/10
