Hellions

Hellions (2015) is a Canadian horror film from Bruce McDonald you can watch online on iFILM. It's Halloween night. Seventeen-year-old Dora is home alone when costumed kids knock for candy — except the things behind those masks were never children.

As the hours warp, so does reality: jack-o'-lanterns, blood, a sky drowned in sickly pink. The little trick-or-treaters keep coming back, and what they want is the secret Dora is carrying inside her. Chloe Rose anchors the whole thing, while Robert Patrick turns up as a sheriff trying to fight his way to the house through the nightmare. Eighty-one minutes with barely a breath.

McDonald, who made the cult oddity Pontypool, skips the standard slasher for a feverish waking dream — acid color grading and a logic that melts along with its heroine. Best for viewers who prize mood and visual delirium over straight jump scares. Stream Hellions (2015) online on iFILM.
