I'm a guy who loves paranormal and supernatural stories, especially the ones that have to do with how things are done in the spirit world. I came across this movie, HELLBOUND, last week, and I was magnetized by the first episode. I didn't read the review before watching; I saw, downloaded, and began to watch.
It's very possible for someone to have dropped the review here sometime ago, but I feel like reminding you to add it to your watchlist if you haven't seen it, especially if you're supernaturally freaked.
I won't spoil it for you...
The storyline; As the name of the movie implies, it has to do with the religious "hell" that we know, but this one is entirely on another level. The movie started with the news that went abroad about some creatures (giants) coming out of hell to destroy (burn to charcoal) people that have been marked for hell. Isn't that crazy?
This is how it works; An angel ( horrific angel) would appear to inform someone to prepare for hell with a specific date and time. And just like a play, the day would come and these angels of hell (the three giants) would appear from the space and burn the victim to charcoal. This happens anywhere, either at market, inside the room...any place at all.
It happened in the first episode, and I really got to marvel at the reason behind the hell's judgment on earth. Why so? Can't God wait for death before judgement? ____ Jung, the founder of the New Truth (a religious organization that preaches about God and Hell's judgement on earth), was the one who fostered the belief in the minds of many because he said God is trying to correct and amend human ways on earth. The movie trailed down to how he got to be "selected by God" to broadcast such a sermon to the people, and it was from there that I got a bigger surprise: he wasn't sent by God nor the devil; he was the very first to get the decree of Hellbound, and he decided to push the fear to the masses by initiating such a mission.
This movie is supernaturally crazy; you need to see how people were repenting and living a clean life because they don't want to be bound for hell. There was an organization, The Arrow Head, that goes about torturing people that are still committing sin because they were disobeying God and it's not good for the world ☺️.
There was a scenario of a sinner who got the decree and went ahead to kill himself before the judgment day, but shockingly, he was brought back to life by the angels of hell so he could face the torture of hell. Crazy!😂
Do I know whether Hell's judgment is from God or Satan?
The movie is suspenseful; I almost believed that the hell's judgement was from God, but no way, it's still not clear, and they pushed us into a more suspenseful zone by making us wait to get to the concluding story in the next season. Yeah, this is the bad part of the movi...its second season is yet to be released😢
It's a K-drama series, released in November 2021. The lead cast are; Yoo Ah-in, Kim Hyun-joo, won Jin-A, Park Jung-min, Kim Mi-soo, Lee Re, Kim Shin-rok, Ryu Kyung-soo, Yank Ik-Joon etc
The season 1 has just 6 episodes and each of them are less than 1hr 10mins, so it's an easy watch.
A lot of crazy things happened in the movie, and I'll recommend it to you if you like dark fantasy movies.
Netflix
