Something organic wreaks havoc on a fracking crew in Hell Hole, the latest cinematic nightmare conjured up by the endlessly innovative and always imaginative Adams Family (Where the Devil Roams, Hellbender).

With the unique creature feature now slithering on Shudder, Daily Dead had the great pleasure of catching up with co-directors and co-writers John Adams and Toby Poser (who also star in the film) in a new video interview to dive into the ambitious making of Hell Hole, including writing the script with their daughter Lulu Adams, working with legendary special effects artist Todd Masters and his team at MastersFX, the adventures of filming in Serbia, and they also tease their upcoming horror movies!

You can watch our full video interview with John Adams and Toby Poser below, and in case you missed it, be sure to read Emily von Seele's 5-star review of Hell Hole!

Synopsis: "In the Adams Family's celebration of the classic creature-feature, an American-led fracking crew working deep in the Serbian wilderness find themselves at odds with government assigned environmental advisors. When they get approval to drill, the workers uncover the unimaginable: a dormant parasitic monster entombed deep in the frozen rock. Now awakened, it tears through the mining facility in search of the perfect host."
