Netflix fans have been left disturbed by a “nauseating” new horror that stuck with them “for weeks”. The Polish film Hellhole was released in October 2022 and is just being discovered by horror fans.
The creepy flick is directed by Bartosz M. Kowalski, who has been making a name for himself since helming the 2020 slasher Nobody Sleeps in the Woods Tonight. Set in 1987, Hellhole follows a police officer who infiltrates a remote monastery to investigate mysterious disappearances.
While there he soon discovers a dark truth about its clergy. The film was well received on its release, currently boasting a 77 percent audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.
