Hellbender
Directed by John Adams, Zelda Adams, Toby Poser
16 year-old Izzy leads an isolated life on a lonely mountaintop. All she’s learned is from her protective mom and the wilderness that swallows them. Questioning her illness and starved for companionship, Izzy sneaks down the mountain where she befriends brazen Amber. Izzy is in heaven, until a cruel drinking game with a live worm unleashes a new kind of hunger. Confused and scared, Izzy appeals to Mom for answers. But Mom’s secrets are as old and dark as the bloodline from which they’re born, and her grip is tight. Nature can only sleep for so long though, and when it wakes, it’s hungry as hell. A SHUDDER ORIGINAL
There will be Hell to pay when a lonely teen discovers her family’s ties to witchcraft.
Cast: Zelda Adams, Toby Poser, Lulu Adams, John Adams

very cool, well acted and a great script
Not terrifying but nicely done. Modern witches well portrayed
One of my favorites from these guys. Creepy and witchy all wrapped together.
I loved watching this on The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs. The movie is definitely a slow burn, but the burn is worth it. The Adams family are very cool and laid back. I love their style of film making, as it's three visions, and they talk about their POV to how they view each scene.
Definitely not my type of horror movie, but I do have to say it is well executed and acting is really good! The music tho, that gave it a notch of beauty !
