Four hookers - Justine (Katelyn Marie Marshall), Destinee (Jennice Carter), Cinnamon (Kasey Williams) and their ringleader Rosetta (Selene Beretta) - decide to raid their pimp's (Chris Davis) place the night he's supposed to make a very big deal. Against all odds, our heroines manage to overcome their adversaries despite being outnumbered, with only Cinnamon taking a bullet to the belly. Rosetta proves to be a sadistic bitch in this raid, slitting the throat of pretty much everybody to find out where the money is (big deal = big money, right?) and just keeping one guy (J. Scott Green) alive, to take with them to their hideout in a cabin in the middle of nowhere. There, Rosetta tortures the living shit out of the guy, without getting anything out of him other than that he claims to be the Antichrist (as in, Son of Satan) - which of course nobody really believes until Cinnamon dies and comes back as a demon, who doesn't take long to kill Destinee as well. Justine panicks and wants to make a getaway, but Rosetta takes a much more practical approach, figuring making a deal with the Devil, or at least his sone, might have its unbeatable perks. So rather than kill the Antichrist, she becomes his ally, even his lover - but is somewhat dissapointed that he's not really good at doing what he does (e.g. his power to move objects by willpower really suck, and his demon-creating talents work only under torture). Justine on the other hand is really freaked out by all of this, and she's desparate to make a getaway, even if it means cutting down demons and humans alike. Then though she learns what the Antichrist and Rosetta are planning, to prevent the birth of the new Messiah, and now she knows she has to act, because nobody will believe this crazy-ass story and act in her place ...

 

Hell Fire is a mad mad mad mad mad and quite a bit insane movie, there are no two ways about it - but what sets this movie apart from almost other of its ilk, it's also pretty well written. Sure, there's violence to boot, and sure, this movie goes overboard in terms of grotesque imagery quite frequently, and believability is really strained to breaking point - but the whole thing is held together by a very strong narrative framework and with plenty of self-irony. A dynamic directorial effort though doesn't hurt either, neither do very solid central performances. And quite a few gore scenes, many of them executed with quite a bit of inventiveness, don't hurt one bit either, naturally.

Now sure, this is not your middle-of-the-road movie, not even middle-of-the-road horror, but if you like your blood and guts with an ironic storyline on the side, then you have to watch this!
