Rush week turns unexpectedly hellish when a band of sadistic, masked, homicidal maniacs holed up in an abandoned warehouse wreak havoc on a bunch of not-so-innocent college kids.

Before viewing Hellweek I knew I was getting into a low budget horror film, but occasionally they bring fresh elements or have some redeeming values. Unfortunately Hellweek had none of those good qualities, but for the sake of the review I won’t let the feeling of having watched a terrible movie influence my review. It’s obvious that the budget was low for the movie, but keeping that in mind some of the effects and visuals weren’t too terrible. The acting however was atrocious, and really took away from all aspects of the film. Filled with corny 1 liners and actors trying to hard, the whole script felt really forced.

The gore factor was decent given their budget, but took a very long time to get into it and 30 minutes of build up could have been cut to about 5 minutes. Even when the action is happening I couldn’t look past the terrible acting and half the time I felt like I was watching a high school play with actors dressed up overdoing it. It is very hard to recommend this film to anyone, so consider yourself warned if you decide to give it a shot and feel like you wasted 100 minutes of your life.
