HELL HATH NO FURY is the new film from Creepy Six Films (Vampires vs. Zombies; Human Nature), an independent horror film company based in Vancouver, B.C. Hell Hath No Fury is a balls-out horror anthology that is a bloody and erotic mix of stories in the style of the horror-lit anthologies. The Hot Blood Series and comedic horror shows like Tales form the Crypt. Spiced with liberal -and very gory- doses of wicked inspiration from classic revenge films like Ms. 45, I Spit on Your Grave, Irreversible, and Last House on the Left, Creepy Six Films' Hell Hath No Fury is a funny, sexy, gory, disturbing and exciting ride into an insanely twisted world where the women scorned exact their vengeance like never before.
