Hellbender
Directed by John Adams, Zelda Adams, Toby Poser
16 year-old Izzy leads an isolated life on a lonely mountaintop. All she’s learned is from her protective mom and the wilderness that swallows them. Questioning her illness and starved for companionship, Izzy sneaks down the mountain where she befriends brazen Amber. Izzy is in heaven, until a cruel drinking game with a live worm unleashes a new kind of hunger. Confused and scared, Izzy appeals to Mom for answers. But Mom’s secrets are as old and dark as the bloodline from which they’re born, and her grip is tight. Nature can only sleep for so long though, and when it wakes, it’s hungry as hell. A SHUDDER ORIGINAL
There will be Hell to pay when a lonely teen discovers her family’s ties to witchcraft.
Cast: Zelda Adams, Toby Poser, Lulu Adams, John Adams

Solid music, environmental setting makes it feel witchy but lots of modern elements and intriguing relationship dynamic.
We stan the Adams family around here!
This family is my new horror obsession! What a vibe!
Loved the storyline… need a Meat T-shirt now.
Beautiful editing and gnarly effects! A memorable horror film that reinvents the typical parental family drama and brings something new and refreshing to the table. The Adams Family is doing incredible work!
