What critics say influenced Bloody Hell
Built around an animated performance by Ben O'Toole, who isn't hampered by spending most of the film suspended from rope handcuffs in a dank basement, the pic musters just enough dark-comic energy to recall early Sam Raimi — albeit without the frenzied camerawork that helped make Evil Dead a classic.
The Evil Dead influences are obvious, but this is no retread.
At times, I was reminded of 2019’s terrific Ready or Not , which also focused on the idea of someone being unwittingly captured and forced to fight their way free.
Is it a trippy John Dies at the End kind of experience?
Rex (Ben O'Toole, Hacksaw Ridge/Nekrotronic) was minding his own business at the bank, making cutesy eyes at an attractive teller when a sudden robbery throws him into fight or flight mode.
Ben O’Toole ( Hacksaw Ridge , Detroit ) shines as Rex.
