Reception
On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 83% of 41 critics' reviews are positive. The website's consensus reads: "Hell Hole pokes much needed life into an aging genre, going back to basics and delivering the gory goods."[4] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 62 out of 100, based on 10 critics, indicating "generally favorable" reviews.[5]
Brian Tallerico of RogerEbert.com gave the film 2.5 stars out of 4, praising its gore and humor, but saying that it's "kind of a disappointment" compared to the other films of John Adams and Toby Poser.[1] Matthew Jackson of Paste gave the film a mildly positive review, saying that it rides "a fascinating tonal line between black comedy and sincere character drama."[6] Catherine Bray of The Guardian gave the film 3 stars out of 5, calling it "mostly satisfying" and "a committed piece of indie genre work with a suitably silly sense of the macabre."[7]
