Netflix Viewers Left “Absolutely Floored” by Polish Horror Movie ‘Hellhole’: “Brutal and Nauseating”

A horror film is being hailed as “brutal and nauseating” by Netflix viewers who claim they couldn’t get this Polish flick out of their heads for “weeks.”
Hellhole, a 2022 film by filmmaker Bartosz M. Kowalski, tells the story of Marek, an undercover policeman who infiltrates a church that has been linked to a string of disappearances. Filled with “creeping dread,” this Polish horror unflinchingly dives into the monastery’s dark side.
Though Hellhole was released on Netflix in 2022, it looks like subscribers are just discovering the exorcism horror — and now, they can’t get enough.
“It’s been over two weeks since I’ve watched Hellhole on Netflix and it’s stuck in my brain!” one person tweeted.
“Tip for the new Netflix horror movie “Hellhole,” don’t eat anything while watching,” another viewer advised.
They were most likely referencing the movie’s penchant for sewage-like food and decomposing bodies, as noted by Decider’s Johnny Loftus, who wrote in his Hellhole review, “you can count on an eyeful of rotting flesh and unclothed corpses.”
“On the 50th anniversary of The Wicker Man I was absolutely floored by Hellhole, an ‘80s-set bleak-as-fuck horror film about a policeman who goes to investigate a sinister cult in a remote region… and FUCKING HELL,” Empire magazine writer David Hughes wrote.
“Hellhole (@netflix 2022) was perfection in that it achieved exactly what it set out to do. A brutal and nauseating #horror film that really flips the tables on the viewer,” another viewer noted.
The movie currently has a 77 percent audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.
Hellhole has previously been compared to other horror films such as The Nun or The Wicker Man. Try it at your own risk — you’ve been warned!
