bkoganbing A couple of brothers back in those Greek olden days take on quite an assignment. The newlywed, but as of yet unconsummated bride of Scott Elrod, Amanda Brooks is murdered and her soul instead of going to the Elysian Fields is taken to Tartarus, the province of Hades where all the bad people get sent. This bridegroom is hot to trot so Elrod and his more scholarly inclined brother Adam Butcher lead an expedition to go cross the River Styx and rescue his lady love from the dead where she's been earmarked to be the bride of Hades. The title Hellhounds comes from the fact that Hades has some trained attack dogs that make pit bulls look like cocker spaniels. They look a whole lot like Taylor Lautner and his friends from New Moon when they're in their werewolf mode. Of course the special effects aren't even half as good.The special effects aren't up to par and the acting frankly is on a level of some stock companies I've seen perform. Unless you're a glutton for bad Greek mythology I'd let this one slip by. The Kevin Sorbo Hercules series was far better done than Hellhounds.
demetrius11 Is there a movie where they use prop replicas from the movie 300? Is there a movie where they attempt to imitate the power strikes of Brad Pitt-Achilles from Troy...and fail miserably ? The answer to both these questions is yes, and that movie is called Hellhounds. This B movie is a combination of some OK actors, some of the worlds worst actors, some of the worst cg ever created, and some quite nice splatter scenes. It has some nicely directed scenes, some terrible scenes, some OK scenes. In general this movie looks like it was made by whomever came through the door of the studio by chance and just grabbed the camera and directed a part of the movie. There is no other way to explain why some parts look great and some are ridiculous.Can you afford to miss this movie ? Yes you definitely can...but go on and watch it (on DVD) :D
mesamood The Sinbad movies we're cutting edge in the 70's and this movie Hell Hounds has definite similarities to those films. The movie was made in Romania in 15 days with a budget of two million. when you take that into account, it's a wonderful accomplishment. The story is solid and the special effects are good enough to tell the tale. Some of the fights are extremely well choreographed and exciting. the cast does a good job and production values are 1st class. Ricky Schroder's second film shows a lot of growth and has a strong sense of pacing and action. The music was well done and not distracting. The Romanian country side where it was filmed is beautiful and haunting. The one sequence where they cross"The River Styx" looks like a Tim Burton sequence, on a smaller budget of course. All in all I give the movie an 8 out of ten. Its the best SyFy movie in awhile.
csix This is a great movie to watch. If it comes on DVD I would buy. The acting is okay I like the way they mades hades also the river stix wasn't half bad If you like the dark side of Greek mythology this movie is great Not a movie for kids. But it has some flaws for one when the dog bites the guys leg A few second later he is walking perfectly doesn't make sense Before they get to the maze the explain how hard it is but yet they figured in out in a matte rof days it cant be that hard. Also the movie could have been a little longer. Also if hades controls hell The only thing he did was make it rain he couldn't do anything else more threatening if that was true they would have made it out
