In 2009 an urban legend turned out to be true and a college hazing turned out to be deadly in Hellweek, a horror film you've probably never seen. In 2013 the film was released. Now, in 2014, a special grindhouse edition is here. Read on for details.
From the Press Release
Sgl Entertainment has released a "Grindhouse" version of the cult classic horror film Hellweek. This faster paced, all new version, edited by Bobby Jones, includes some cool never-before-seen footage.
Eddie Lengyel’s Hellweek is the tale of “Hazing Gone Bad.” Rush week turns unexpectedly hellish when a band of sadistic, masked homicidal maniacs holed up in an abandoned warehouse wreak havoc on a bunch of not-so-innocent college kids.
Wanting to ensure the new pledges prove they’re worthy, fraternity president J.J. sends them to a deserted warehouse rumored to be inhabited by demonic squatters. But the hazing takes on a sadistic...

November 17, 1990, is a day of mourning for some...and for others a lucrative opportunity. On that date eight university students were found murdered in the old Stanwick Factory. An anonymous source told police the 20-somethings were in the midst of a local role-playing game called Chill.

Hellweek is the first feature film under Cleveland based horror production company, Fright Teck Pictures. I have to admit being from the area it is cool to see some of the locations in the film. Director Eddie Lengyel and Fright Teck clearly have a lot of passion for the genre and it shows in what they were trying to do. There are moments where this works, but all in all I had a hard time really getting in to the film. The general concept of the film definitely has potential, but too much time was spend on completely unlikeable characters that you couldn’t care less about and not enough on the more compelling back story and Texas Chainsaw Massacre-eque family.
