Hellarious knows exactly what it is and that is a unique, extreme camp. The action and gore are over the top, characters are goofy, the acting is over the top, and some of the situations even seem plausible when taken at face value. 

The effects and visuals within the film are very well done. There are some great visual effects along with practical gags. Since this is still partially a horror movie, the suspense is felt when tension is built or a lot of action is happening. The darker tonal shifts also serve this well. 

Also, even though the lengths of the segments are not all the same, the movie’s pacing moves everything along nicely. Nothing drags on at any time and the segments all feel as if their stories are presented evenly and are told the way they were intended to be told. I never felt bored and there is no filler, which is an issue I have sometimes with movies that either run too long or are slow getting to their point. 

I do wish that the stories and world were more clearly connected, had a major wraparound story, a specific location, or character to tie everything together and transition between segments. For example, a character like Sam from Trick ‘r Treat of characters blatantly appearing in or connecting to other stories. This feels like a fun world to revisit in the future potentially and I would have loved to have seen interactions between characters from different segments. 

Hellarious is available for streaming on Amazon Prime and Tubi.
