I'll be honest when I put Hell Girl on I expected another hyper low budget ghost themed embarrassment alike so very many others I've seen recently. It's not, not exactly anyway.

From the get go I was fairly impressed, the opening was stylish, the character development was fantastic, the script was strong and the cinematography was above par. For these reasons my expectations spiked, foolishly.

It tells the story of a group of ghost hunters on a "Job" who fall foul of a malevolent spirit. You know, the usual stuff.

Out of the gates I was enjoying it, but as soon as the movie really gets going it spirals into everything I feared that it was going to be. Don't get me wrong everything I said earlier still stands, everything is well above par and I have to tip my hat to everyone both in front of and behind the camera.

So why the low rating? Well the plot is just awful nonsensical tosh. No amount of quality everywhere else could save it from that, and Tom Sizemore! I don't know if his career has just nose dived to this level or if he's doing a Robert Englund and paying back to the industry that made him but he's starting to be a blemish on a movie rather than a bolster.

Better than what I expected it to be and very well made, but after about half way it turns real sour real fast.

The Good:

Michael Peter Harrison

Well made

The Bad:

Some elements are beyond stupid

Plot is just terrible

Tom Sizemore

I have never seen such a bad movie ever before in my life! Awful actors, silly story etc. Totally wasted time! I'd have rather peeled potatoes instead of seeing this!

Now I just feel sorry for him - 220 credits yet not been in a decent film since Dreamcatcher in 2003 - he is a good actor but circumstances have dictated that he just does films like this to pay the bills and it's evident he really can't be bothered to put in a performance anymore - really sad - his talent deserves better.

As for the film - cliched ghost hunter team premise that has been done to death (pun intended) with a load of kids who will end up doing Canadian TV bit parts at best - truly awful unlikable characters especially the English bloke who obviously can't get work in Britain and is so needy he writes his own IMDB bio.

2/10 ... and I'm being nice

Overall, I had a very hard time enjoying this, however I have seen worse. In my opinion the writing wasn't very good, but the plot had potential. If you're like me and love giving low budget horror movies a chance, let me know your thoughts on this movie.

I was think it's a totally bad movie. But after I watch the movie, I think I was wrong. The movie is way worst than I imagine. Slow pace, lame storyline, bad acting, bad shooting and not scary at all.... don't waste your time n not trust the 5.7 rating.

Believe me, I will rate this movie in minus if I can. It is so laughably bad that it's a modern version of an Ed Wood film. Ridiculous script, amateurish acting, weird dialogues and lame ending. Skip at all costs.

This is probably the worst movie I have seen in 2019. The acting is diabolical as is the plot. The effects are laughable and the biggest shock is why Sizemore went near this. Stay away as it's time you will never get back!

Not as bad ad I thought it was going to be. No, it's not on par with a big budget Hollywood movie but as far as low budget movies go, it's not so bad.

Not the brightest star in the firmament. A ghost hunting TV show is hired to root out the ghost at a campsite in a goldrush town up California way. We have our alpha male star of the show, the wheelchair bound tech, the brit brain, the girl security, the erstwhile porn starlet and the medium who had a thing with alpha there, and misses it I dare say. Among the campers and revelers is a woman reminiscent of Rose the Hat. In looks, anyway. When they get started they find a ghost story and a serial killer mystery rolled into one. It's a story of a girl made pregnant by a demon and how he kept his line going by raping hither and thither, including his own daughters. I found myself rooting for the show's cast, yes, and caring whether they lived or died. It's a great mystery to unravel along with them and an occasional bit of tension is to be found. Not enough scares to suit my taste which is why I think of this as a marginal like at best.

Movie felt low budget and the story was a bit weak. For the most part the movie was very predictable but it did entertain me a bit whenever the ghost was out. Sadly, I can't recommend this movie unless you're really bored and like B rated horror shows.

This presented with some elements of a female focus twist, empowerment and such, within the bounds of a supernatural haunting and "ghost hunters" film. Low budget decidedly, but the plot had enough to keep me interested at that B film, found footage type film. (This is not a found footage film, but it has the trappings of one.) Decent movie for what it is, and entertaining enough.

Someone recommended Depraved and somehow I got Hell Girl (aka Depraved) instead of the movie I was looking for. I was thoroughly confused about why anyone would recommend this painful garbage. Looks like something that me and my high school friends might have thrown together in a week goofing around with a video camera when we were 16. Bad script, terrible dialog, bad acting, this one fails all around.

This is probably one of the worst acted movies I've ever seen. Everything about it is low end. The special effects are non-existent, the plot is extremely flimsy, and the line delivery is awful. But I enjoy watching it all the times I've done it. I watch it at least twice a year since I discovered it two years ago. As I said in my title, it's a guilty pleasure movie for me. To see Tom sizemore in such a small production is kind of interesting. The high point in the movie for me is the characters of lindsey, Laura, and Aiden. They made the movie that much more enjoyable. Especially the actress that played Laura. Again, it's not the best movie out there, it definitely isn't the worst movie out there. But it is a fun time to waste. I hope you enjoy this train wreck as much as I did.
