Review of Hellion (2012) by Jessica T — 06 Oct 2014

Not quite as captivating as it wants to be, director Kat Candler's film Hellion succeeds in highlighting the performances of its stars, but fails to keep the story feeling fresh throughout. Most of this film feels like its retreading ground that other, stronger films have covered.

Aaron Paul and newcomer Josh Wiggins carry the cast and really have some great moments between the two of them, but the film devolves into chaos as it throws more over the top twists at our characters.

I really appreciated how slow and subtle the film was at first, and I hated how quickly it became a plot heavy and contrivance reliant film. It could have been better, but that's not to say that it was bad.
