There will be hell to pay when a lonely teen discovers her family’s ties to witchcraft.
'The latest conjuring from the DIY filmmaking group known as the Adams family is 'Hellbender,' a punk rock horror story of a self-isolated mother (Toby Poser) and daughter (Zelda Adams) who rock out together, and share a long-buried witchy legacy. The film is co-written and co-directed by Zelda Adams, her mother Toby Poser, and her father John Adams, and everyone shares other duties.' —RogerEbert.com
'One of the more unique takes on both occult horror and coming-of-age tales we've seen in a while.' — AV Club
The Adams Family 'make daring, confident genre films, and they're only getting better.' —RogerEbert.com
AUDIENCE ADVISORY: blood and gore; brief violent imagery of someone dying by hanging and burning
