Holy Hell is the over-the-top, outrageous, sexually-deviant, blood-drenched story of Father Augustus Bane: a priest pushed too far who begins praying to a revolver and hunting down the gangsters who killed his parishioners. In the vein of recent alternative horror/comedies like "Machete" and "Hobo with a Shotgun", HOLY HELL is a modern take on 60's and 70's B-Movie and Exploitation film tropes. The goal of this feature length movie is to break through every limit set by film, taste and reasonable societal behavior: all with anarchic glee.
Practical Effects
Gloriously cheap gore effects that embrace the grindhouse aesthetic.
Writing
Dialogue so deliberately offensive it circles back to comedy.
Director
Ryan LaPlante
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Ryan LaPlante also stars as Father Bane, keeping the DIY exploitation tradition of auteurs like Tommy Wiseau alive.
The film deliberately evokes the 'nunsploitation' and religious horror subgenres of 1970s Italian cinema, particularly the works of Joe D'Amato and Bruno Mattei.
