Hellbent

Monday, October 18, 9:40pm

It’s all eye-candy (in the form of handsome, buff men) in this treat of a Halloween fright-fest, as HELLBENT reinvents the typical slasher film, giving it a decidedly queer bent. On Halloween morning, two gay men are beheaded in a West Hollywood park. But in the best slasher-film tradition, that doesn’t stop Eddie and his friends from traipsing right through the site of the murders on their way to an evening of partying at WeHo’s Halloween Carnival. It turns out that muscular figure in the shadows—who happens to be wearing a devil’s mask and sporting a big ol’ knife—may not be your typical party-crasher. Before the night is through, heads are gonna roll! Get ready to hold on tight to your date as the blood and gore starts to fly in this wickedly funny and totally gruesome flick, just in time for Halloween!
