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

My new favorite
wow this movie really really suprised me, definitely a must watch amd the music in it was awesome
Pretty enjoyable overall! Love a good witch story. Love their band in the film, too!
witchy vibes!❤️❤️
Pretty decent! The acting was excellent, and I found it very easy to sympathize with the main character (for most of the story, anyway). I've seen plenty of horror movies that feature [not great] original music, but I paused this a few minutes in to find H3llb3nd3r on Spotify. Fabulous grungy metal with beautiful vocals. The Adams family is talented AF! Bravo! The only thing I wanted more of was a bit of backstory on what music/ art they consume that inspires their music. Witchy bloodlust aside, they gotta be listening to some things that have informed their music.
