"Hellhounds" promises a feral frenzy of canine carnage, but delivers a limping, lifeless creature of a film. The concept of werewolf bikers is undeniably intriguing, but the execution is as flat as a deflated balloon.
While the film struggles to muster any genuine scares or suspense, there's one bright spot amidst the gloom: Eva Hamilton. Her performance is a lone wolf in a pack of mediocrity. Her character is captivating and it be interesting to follow this character further with a better script and higher budget.
Unfortunately, her talent is squandered in a film that seems more interested in showcasing questionable CGI than crafting a compelling story.
The plot is predictable, the characters are flat, and the horror elements are more laughable than terrifying, reminding me of "Jeepers Creepers: Reborn". The titular hellhounds, when they finally do appear, are disappointingly generic, lack any real menace, and look like cheap Spirit Halloween costumes.
If you're a fan of Eva Hamilton, you might find some enjoyment in "Hellhounds" for her performance alone. But for everyone else, this is a film that can safely be skipped.
