Bloody Hell

Bloody Hell poster

During a bank robbery, Rex, a fella with the habit of talking to himself or his personified conscience, takes down the robbers and after several gunshots, he successfully secures the entire establishment but unfortunately, the whole successful mission ends in a tragic way for which he is tried and imprisoned. After doing his time, he moves to Finland for a break but gets trapped by a twisted cannibal family with a very dark secret.

From acclaimed director Alistair Grierson (SANCTUM) comes a mind-boggling horror-comedy trip that will leave you with your head spinning, your least concern being why an Australian film is spoken in Finnish. WTF? Bloody Hell!

Ten years have passed since the alien war, and now the line between human and alien is blurred.

The spiders used their bodies as dwelling places until the assimilation process was complete, and their bodies regenerated. Now they wander around the South Mill District, waiting for the spider's mutagenic virus to do what it was meant to do.
