WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

A group of college students decide to spend the night at Hell Fest, a travelling horror-themed amusement park that happens to be in town. However, a deadly serial killer also happens to be there in an opportunity to hunt and kill unsuspecting attendees, with everyone else too caught up in the park’s interactive fun to notice that the killings are real – but when the students soon catch on, they must try and survive the night…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Hell Fest looks like it will be a good old-fashioned slasher movie that would have easily been made in the wake of Halloween or Friday the 13th but we’re grateful is being made now for this generation.
