Hellmington is not a bad mystery thriller, the music helps sets the tone for a dark and somber movie. The acting is excellent, understated and at times quite intense. The biggest problem though is that it becomes too stylized for its own good. It tries to be Lynchian with David Lynch. This makes the movie hard to follow at times and the ending felt rushed and a little forced. There were also a lot of different things happening which isn't to say a bad thing, but again, the movie needed to be a little clearer at times. The tension builds nicely and there are some genuine creepy moments, but the script and editing just needed to be a little tighter and the ending could have been a little more fleshed out because it really didn't make any sense. This is a good movie that just tried to be a little too clever for it's own good.
