Review:
The ‘small town’ is obviously just a movie set, dialogue scenes tend to be a little protracted, the framing can be wonky, there are some cliched characters and the ‘demon’ has a cheap-looking headpiece. Oh, and there are some awful electronic ditties.
Yet, for all its minor faults, Hellblazers is enjoyably cheesy fun and has a great cast of decent actors and agreeable characters. It’s free to watch on Tubi so worth a watch if expectations are kept in check.

Other reviews:
” …it’s a good time and can be enjoyed by any horror movie fan, even those who are not big horror fans will find that the movie is well-rounded and made for a broad audience […] The movie shows the good old fashioned sense that when faced with adversity a small town can come together in the face of anything […] quite enjoyable…” Horror Facts
“Hellblazers is like VFW with the battleground expanded a bit and the drug “mutants” replaced with a satanic cult and their pet demon. It’s a group of ageing genre vets taking a stand and proving they can still kick some serious @ss. And even at sixty-eight Tony Todd still swings a mean sledgehammer […] it’s an enjoyable film…” Voices from the Balcony
