The subject of Hell incorporated in horror films has always been an area of intrigue. While we can make assumptions about what this dreaded place might look or be like, the mere thought of a single location dedicated to evil and darkness has always been food for nightmares. There are films that lean towards the biblical interpretation and those that lean towards the unsettling festering chaos. All in all it has long been a perfect subject for the fantastical proving alot of creative freedom to generations of movie makers.
Hell, simply is not the place you ever want to be or experience.
Removing hell based comedies from that statement (that often take humorous liberties of their own), Hell is supposed to be the arena for ultimate suffering, despair, pain, and mayhem. It is home to the devil and his minions who reside purely to receive newcomers and subject them to the ultimate in horrific experiences.
