Here's the scenario: You walk into the local video store and you see the B-Horror section. You think to yourself, "Maybe I'll get a bad horror film tonight and enjoy some pathetic film making." You walk down the isles of movies and one catches your eye. A movie known as Hellbreeder. You think to yourself, "This looks interesting." Well trust me you couldn't be more wrong. This is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. I can say this because I have seen the worst of the worst B-Horror films, from Ed Wood's Plan 9 From Outer Space, to the early 80's Scalps. The plot will remind you of Stephen King's IT; a scary clown that kills little kids. This plot is good for the basis of a horror film, yes. But what it lacks is any kind of acting, dialog, camera stability, good special effects, and really there is no way to tell what is happening. There are actually scenes in this movie that made me very sick because of the camera movements. I really do not know what else to say to express my disgust in this movie. So I'll put it really simply.DO NOT!!! - AND I REPEAT - DO NOT PURCHASE THIS MOVIE!!! Anyone who tells you otherwise should be committed.

How the hell does this kind of movie end up getting distribution? The script is terrible, the story makes no sense - (rumour has it that Darren Day disappeared two-thirds of the way through realising what a stinker he'd involved himself with). This at least explains his character vanishing without any plot resolution whatsoever. The music is a sort of irritating Michael Nymanesque minimalism seemingly written by a man with no ears. If this was made by a first year student filmmaker it would still be a result of the grossest incompetence.There is no other way of describing this other than an absolute steaming pile of festering dog turd, resting on a catastrophic car pile-up. Avoid.

The lead female's (Alice) son had at some point in the past been horribly murdered whilst on the way home. Alice's family blamed her for the entire tragedy and Alice had gone mad with guilt because she blamed herself.As she couldn't believe anyone could such a horrible crime to a child she invented an inhuman monster (a clown) as the perpetrator. Most of the film is a strange fantasy as I think she's never supposed to leave the mental institution where she's locked up. Also Darren Day wanders around symbolising Alice's alter ego, A strong version of herself who can do what she could not and fight off the monster that murdered her son.This may or may not be the plot of the film, to be quite honest within 5 minutes of the film starting you will desperately want to turn it off. I guarantee you will not care one bit.This is an art horror film with very little script and it's clear the actors are struggling with the few awful lines they do have. The film instead relies on symbolism to push the story forward. This doesn't work at all and leaves the audience very very confused. The film itself has all the hallmarks of a film that has been heavily altered and scenes/characters removed, I cannot believe that anyone would fund a 90 minute film on 10 pages of dire dialogue. I also refuse to believe anyone would knowingly make anything so bad.The only good point about the entire thing is that the lead actress is quite attractive. But that in itself is no reason to watch.

This movie is really a strange, weird, paranoic descent into the depths of the hells of the mind of a deranged woman, gone crazy for the loss of his child. It is confusing, scary, tense, really fascinating, but unresolved. The score, made by the director and writer of this movie, is probably too similar to Carpenter's one for his masterpiece Halloween, but it is functional to the situation (and there are also influences by other past scores by Morricone and such for several of the Italian giallos from the Seventies). If you like good cinematography and weird stuff, this movie is definitely worth a viewing (even for the beauty of the lead actress), while if you prefer a clear explanation of what's going on, it's better to leave this movie on the shelves of your video-retailer
