Hell's House was a film that i felt, even though the movie itself could have been better, was successful in focusing on important topics like the treatment of juveniles and prisoners. the film was able to get that message across that something needed to be done about the conditions those boys faced but the story by itself felt lacking. the movie fits right in with the theme of prison or crime based movies that were being made at that time (mainly from Warner Bros.). the acting was satisfactory but i was able to see the bond between the boys grow while they were in the reform school and that made the movie work. The film did not impress me as much as other movie during the time when it was made but i still believe that it was successful in accomplishing what the filmmakers set out to do.
