John Adams, Toby Poser and their daughters Lulu and Zelda have risen to prominence on the independent scene over the past several years with DIY productions that highlight their creativity as a family. The Deeper You Dig , Hellbender , and Where the Devil Roams saw the family grow by bounds with each film and as they’ve expanded their productions to accommodate larger casts and crew, they’ve only gotten better.
Hell Hole is their most ambitious venture to date, taking the family to Serbia for a gory, darkly funny creature feature with some pointed messaging. Premiering on Shudder this week, the film is their most mainstream to date but maintains some of their rock & roll sensibility and, most importantly, their unique voices. After a prologue in 1814 whereupon a group of lost Napoleonic soldiers in Serbia encounters a monster, Hell Hole brings itself to the present day where American couple Emily (Poser) and John (Adams) are overseeing a fracking operation.
Things aren’t going great for them; they must deal wit.
