An exclusive Shudder film, HELLBENDER is a coming of age film about a mother who tries to shield her daughter from knowing the true powers of her Hellbending blood ties. With a 98% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, the Adams family proves what is possible with little else than ingenuity, passion, and a few spontaneous carcasses in their own backyard when they set out to make a film full of terrifying dread built to linger deep long after the end credits have rolled.
In this episode of Dark Bites, I sat down with filmmakers Toby Poser, John Adams, Zelda Adams and Lulu Adams and they laid it all out on the line to reveal what makes this film – and their unique family dynamics – work so bloody well.
