Shudder debuts slimy new trailer for gross-out creature feature Hell Hole

As a seasoned horror enthusiast who has weathered countless sleepless nights and jump scares, I can confidently say that August is shaping up to be the most terrifying month of the year. With the upcoming release of “Hell Hole,” the latest creation from the Adams Family (famed for their chilling work on “Hellbender” and “Where the Devil Roams”), I am both excited and slightly apprehensive.


The Adams Family team, comprised of John Adams, Toby Poser, and their daughters Lulu and Zelda, have readied a chilling creature feature for Shudder. Known for their horror films like “Hellbender,” the duo is back with their new production, titled “Hell Hole“. This upcoming film promises to deliver a repulsive creature experience reminiscent of movies such as “Slither” and “The Thing”. Horror enthusiasts have plenty to look forward to in August, with the release of a new “Alien” movie, M. Night Shyamalan’s latest offering, and now a trailer for “Hell Hole“, which promises both terror and humor.

In the untamed wilderness of Serbia, a fracking team is ordered to drill into a certain area of frozen ground. Instead of discovering natural resources like gas or oil, they stumble upon a hidden horror buried beneath the ice. When their drilling awakens it, this dormant parasite begins wreaking havoc on the facility in its quest for a new host.

Slimy tentacles, cephalopods, and a giant clam?

As a gaming enthusiast, diving into the thrilling world of “Hell Hole” based on the trailer alone has me both excited and cautious. While it appears to deliver on the gory scenes that trailers are known for, I’m optimistic there will be unexpected twists and turns in the final cut, keeping me on the edge of my seat!

At some point, a character expresses that this terrifying beast they encounter might have genetic links to cephalopods. The other character wonders if perhaps there’s a colossal clam lurking beneath their feet instead. Could it be possible that this parasite had hidden in a giant clam deep under the ground? This idea seems unlikely, but I’m not knowledgeable enough about mollusks or cephalopods to challenge it.

Regardless of its identity, the focus lies more on the alarming behavior of this creature, as it forcefully inserts its tentacles into unsuspecting individuals through various body openings. Essentially, it’s treating their bodies like an open property! The scene is filled with an abundance of tentacle-related activities, along with a terrifying echo of the chestburster incidents from the movie ‘Alien’.

The Adamses have given us several horror films throughout the years, such as “Hellbender” from 2021 and “Where the Devil Roams” from the previous year. These productions gained positive reviews from critics, but reactions from viewers have been mixed. The upcoming release, “Hell Hole,” seems to follow a more conventional path with plenty of gore, comedy, and monster goo typical of parasite-themed creature flicks.
