This movie lives up to it's name, no joke (that's why there's a clown in the movie, anyways...) After watching this rubbish (thankfully it's only an hour and a half) I had nightmares for 2 weeks about how poor this crud was and where to start? the poor graphics, the pathetic ending which makes no sense whatsoever and what the hell is up with the drunk detective and all the flashbacks? Dominique Pinon... From acting in Alien Resurrection to this? You've gotta be kidding... the plot was... no, there was no damn plot, this movie was just a waste of time, if you ever see a copy of this film anywhere, make sure you burn it and run.the only thing truthful about this film is that after watching it, it did indeed breed hell into my mind, for making me put up with it.

While watching "Hellbreeder" on DVD, I was really trying to understand what was happening on the screen. I decided to stop the movie for a moment and read the cover of the DVD seeking a hint. However, the only thing that I could notice is that the directors and writer apparently were under effect of acid or LSD when they wrote and shot the film, and the images are probably based on a bad trip. This movie is simply awful, among the worst I have ever seen. There are very few lines, and the plot is a complete mess. Further, I can not understand why this flick is tagged "horror" - actually "Hellbreeder" is horrible and dreadful, a waste of time. My vote is one (awful).Title (Brazil): "Labirinto do Inferno" ("Labyrinth of the Hell")

This movie is nothing to be psyched about! It was hard to follow, confusing, and just ridiculous to ever put the label "Horror" on it.Something about a psycho woman witnessing her sons death and becoming obsessed with finding her sons killer (and i only know that from reading the movie cover). Its a waste of time and money, not even bad enough to be laughed at. The only reason the actors could categorized as "good" actors is because they had a maximum of three lines each in the movie! The entire time my head was ringing with some shitty Michael Myers/Circus/hypnotizing music sh*!...The only reason I rated it a 2 instead of a 1 is because I was put through the high school movie production of "Near Death" last night.

A serial killer is busy slaughtering little kids. Investigating are two (only two?) detectives and Alice, the mother of one of the victims. Although the killer has been seen and sketched, and although everyone knows what he looks like, he for some reason can't be caught. If it were the FBI doing the investigating, that result would be no surprise, but this film takes place in England.Alice, who seems to have no job of any kind, is obsessed with tracking down her child's murderer. We see that she suffers from tremendous guilt for not having done enough to protect her child, and that she is subject to vivid nightmares, and also to hallucinations. As the film progresses, the line between her visions and reality fades, and we wonder more and more whether particular events shown are real or just in her head. This dynamic takes over the film, very effectively, and the plot moves into some surprising places (which I won't reveal here).This movie reminded me at times of an old Italian giallo -- and I love a good giallo. Most of the acting was second-rate or unremarkable at best, but Lynndie Uphill, the actress who plays Alice, was truly impressive in what seems to me to have been quite a challenging role. Alas, according to this site, Hellbreeder has been her only film to date. Some of the writing was quite good, and some of the music was lovely -- but at times the story would drag or drift off into overdone special effects or long, boring shots of characters looking introspective. Nevertheless, this film's premise was quite interesting and dynamic. Although the film lags at many places, it was worth watching overall. Glad I saw it.
