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

Fun watch! Not quite what we were expecting, but it was good.
beautifully shot and a unique take on witchcraft. The psychedelic visuals were reminiscent of Mandy. Well done!
I liked it. Pretty sharp for a lazy, Sunday afternoon.
Best movie on Shudder so far. Love the witchy vibes. Also these two actresses are refreshingly real, so unlike the canned blondes in many other movies. Highly recommend.
Loved it!
