SCREENER REVIEW
Based off a true story of the Russian serial killer, Alexander Spesivtsev, the film features a young teenage boy named Alex who turns out to be a cannibalistic serial killer who lures his victims to his house and kills them on site. His mother is also an accomplice to Alex's crimes and the film is spent on Alex killing his victims, while the police are trying to find Alex's victims before it's too late.
So, this film marks the first time that I ever received a movie screener and man, was I so happy about finally getting a movie screener! I was actually surprised that I was given a horror and thriller film to review, since I tend to watch a lot of films that are thrillers and horror and I was glad to receive such a film to review. So, the first thing that I liked about this film was the premise. The fact that this movie was based off of a real life murderer was what made this film really intense to watch and I actually felt frightened for Alex's victims. Also, I do enjoy watching films that are about serial killers and this film did a great job at making things extremely disturbing whenever Alex kills off his victims. Another thing that I liked about this film was the gore. This film has some of the most gruesome and violent moments that I have ever seen in any thriller film and it was horrifying seeing how Alex murdered his victims. Another thing that I liked about this film were the performances. Luke Baines did a fantastic job at portraying Alex, the serial killer, as he made Alex into a truly threatening character.
My biggest issue with this movie was that the pacing was incredibly slow. Even though this movie was about a serial killer, the film took too much time in getting to the more interesting parts and I often got bored throughout this movie because of the pacing.
Overall, even though "No Tears in Hell" has a very interesting premise, a fantastic performance from Luke Baines and lots of gory scenes, the film suffers from very slow pacing. If you are interested in checking out a film about a serial killer, then this film might interest you. However, if you are looking for a serial killer film that has good pacing, then this film might not be suitable for you.
