Review: No Tears in Hell (2025)
By William Pattison
This time I got a serial killer tale that is supposedly
based on a true case…
In Alaska's winter darkness, a mother and son transform
their home into a house of horrors, drawing homeless people in for abuse,
murder, and cannibalism.
This a nastily realistic portrayal of a serial killer. It is
brutal yet the gore is not overdone. There is a sadistic honesty about the
killings. The portrayals of Alex and his mother both spot on without become a
parody. You can see that both of them lack a moral compass. In fact Alex seems
to take pride in his work and compares it to Bundy and Dahmer.
If you are not a hardcore slasher fan I wouldn’t recommend this film to you. But if you are a fan of true crime and find realistic serial killers interesting then you will find this film interesting. In my case I felt a bit dirty watching this film.
