Verdict on Hell’s Half Acre
Hell’s Half Acre is a horror thriller following a group of YouTuber Urban Explorers searching an abandoned prison. They know the disturbing past surrounding the building and decide to see if the stories are real. This leads to them needing to fight to survive against evil demons living inside the walls.

However, this movie does give us some strong scares and gives our characters different motivations to go through with it. In the end, this does play out how you would imagine, for the most part, it delivers good scares throughout.
Final Thoughts – Hell’s Half Acre is filled with strong scares for a tried and tested formula.
