Nasty Hellbent
In retrospect, it seems odd that it’s taken until now to have a gay-themed slasher film. While there are several movies floating around the sub-genre that deal with overtly gay subjects, like “Sleepaway Camp” or “Hide and Go Shriek”, it is actually only recently that a gay filmmaker decided to make a film featuring almost all homosexual characters for a mass audience. That makes a great hook for a film but does not necessarily make a good movie. Fortunately, “Hellbent” is a refreshingly straight-up genre flick with lots of blood and a few nice scares along the way.
After an obligatory prologue that pops right out of a reel of something like “Bloody Birthday”, “Hellbent” follows a group of four men at the annual Halloween Parade on Santa Monica Boulevard in West Hollywood. Eddie (Dylan Fergus), a wanna-be flatfoot stopped short by a nasty little disability (which plays nicely into an awesome set-piece) has his sights set on beautiful biker Jake (Bryan Kirkwood), whom he met shortly before the parade, only to flub his grand pickup line while Jake rides off into the sunset. Their reunion later that night at a bar sparks chemistry and begins the separation of Eddie from his friends, who begin to meet the sharp end of a strangely alluring killer’s blade.
Like a lot of other slasher films made during the golden age of bloodshed, the 80s, “Hellbent” doesn’t attempt to offer any answers to the killing, and it shouldn’t. Writer-Director Paul Etheredge-Ouzts has a clear understanding of the beauty of a slasher film. A formulaic genre, it’s not the blueprint that’s important, it’s what you do inside it that matters. There are tons of stalk and slash specialties that feature nubile youth partying, doing drugs, having sex and everything else the audience wishes they’d done back in the day, but if the characters are rock solid and the setup offers dynamic chills, we’re in like Flynn. And in a world of post-“Scream” horror movies constantly trying to up the bar on the witty repartee between yawn-inducing kills, “Hellbent” seems happy going right for the jugular with several cool, gory murders – and they all happen to characters we actually care about! There are several nods to some of the more memorable slasher films of the 80s like “Graduation Day” and “Maniac” (actually both of those references happen in the same scene!) and will appease nostalgic gorehounds the world over. It’s also proof-positive that almost 30 years after “Halloween” you can still make an awesome genre film that doesn’t feel the need to pander to the lowest common denominator.

The question is not whether you’ll change; you will. Research clearly shows that everyone’s personality traits shift over the years, often for the better. But who we end up becoming and how much we like that person are more in our control than we tend to think they are.

Recent disturbing news involving “evil” actions include the Germanwings crash, Isis beheadings, the murder of an innocent man with a broken taillight by a police officer, a woman putting dead babies in a freezer, the trial of the Boston Marathon bomber and a son murdering a father for reducing his allowance.
In my practice, I have learned of love affairs and abandoned children, rent money squandered on drinking binges and hotels, funds stolen from impaired parents, false accusations of elder abuse by one sibling about another in an effort to destroy family ties and increase inheritance funds, child molestation by teachers, and chronic verbal intimidation.
In a review of a new book about Norwegian mass murderer Anders Breivik, reviewer Asne Seierstad, asks, “Was Mr. Breivik a political terrorist or simply a madman?”
First, let’s look at the dictionary definition of "evil." Here is the word "evil" as defined by Dictionary.com:
Now let’s compare “evil” to the DSM diagnosis of Anti-social Personality Disorder ( Psychopathy , Sociopathy )
Additional Antisocial Personality descriptions from the Mayo Clinic :
The evil definition and the antisocial criteria overlap. Clinicians do not use the word evil to describe clients. A charged word that implies moral judgment, evil is not a descriptive term or diagnosis in the DSM. Dr, Stuart Samenow, author of " Inside the Criminal Mind, " covers this in his Psychology Today blog.
Clinically speaking, antisocial personality is hard to treat.
Those afflicted can be calculating, cunning, charming, organized, and disarming. Because guilt , shame and remorse are absent yet entitlement, egocentricity and greed reign, the suffering they cause others is meaningless to them. Self-gratification is really all that matters, the guiding principle of daily life.
Often psychopaths try to convince others that they are a persecuted party. Lies roll off the tongue with ease and spontaneity. They justify stealing by falsely claiming that they have been stolen from. Tears fall in the presence of benevolent listeners who may feel they are helping. But the seeming bond breaks if the antisocial person is crossed—and it does not take much. Slight or imagined grievances set off rage, revenge , viciousness, and physical or emotional violence. They will go to shocking lengths or depths to malign those who thwart them.
Though brief, psychotic or paranoid episodes might occur, antisocial people are not insane. The main problem is lack of conscience , compassion, and reciprocity in relationships. This is still a serious psychological impairment.
How does such a disposition come about? Current research suggests that while nurture plays a role, much of personality and temperament can be attributed to genetics . Modeling is a reality and traumatized children may identify with tormentors but cruel and callous personalities start with hard wiring. Abused, deprived, or neglected children can become superstars because they are driven to make things different in a “ reaction-formation ” sort of way. Thus, we cannot assume that abuse begets abuse or that criminal people were mistreated as children. Loving, devoted parents can produce entitled and cruel children who harm them as well as others.
The good news is that even if anatomy is destiny, early behavioral interventions mitigate the chemical make-up and can help children with conduct disorder, a pre-cursor to sociopathy, to self-regulate . These include:
Once it was held that people commit awful or unlawful acts out of desperation and that support and understanding could remedy the underlying injury. True, awareness is useful and forgiveness is commendable, but holding the hand of a sociopath leads to disaster. A sympathetic ear fuels entitlement, breeds brazenness, and furthers destruction.
The problem is that sociopaths do not look “evil” in the sense that they are masterful at projecting (and utterly convinced of) their own virtue or vulnerability, no matter what havoc they have wreaked. Well-meaning but ignorant others enable them. Sometimes others aren’t even that well-meaning but rater titillated by a battle. Unconscious sadism directed at those that appear weak might also be at play. Some enjoy seeing others in desperate circumstances as it instills an inner sense of superiority. A schadenfreude-like phenomenon.
At any rate, horrifying psychopathology may be out there or within your own circle. If your brother, sister, cousin, or aunt, are thus endowed you might feel ashamed, doomed, tainted, from poor stock, responsible somehow as if you should have been able to stop the madness. It is especially hard to get your mind around it if you are the target. For kin to want to ruin you is a taboo mind twister, but it happens.
If you have been blindsided by stunning malevolence here are 16 focus points to help you move on.
Fury is fine, but do not waste time seeking revenge. Trust that comeuppance occurs with time, truth and the psychopath’s long trail of transgressions. Let it go, because what goes around comes around—even when you are not trying to influence the outcome.
