In a desperate bid for freedom, a convict seeks refuge in a decaying fortress within the mountains. He inadvertently enters a nightmarish arena where ancient demons punish the wicked, and survival means fighting hell itself.

Review by Julie C. Sheppard:

Hellbound Fugitive is a horrifying yet masterful short that takes an escaped convict literally and figuratively down a highway to hell. The brilliant AI generated imagery tells a gruesome tale of judgment and justice. 

The endless stream of police cars after the prisoner gives him little choice but to enter an ancient, crumbling castle to meet his doom. Artful choice to contrast the gloomy rainy night of pursuit with the lava hot flames emanating from the hallways and the demonic monsters in the castle —  flames so intense that you can almost feel the heat they generate. The soundtrack deftly moves along with the central figure, from melancholy outdoors to explosive and booming indoors, as bloody and grisly tentacles finally seal death. 

The classic narrative of evil life choices resulting in hellfire and eternal damnation is an ancient one, but this short retells the story with dramatic full force, using the all the advantages of modern technology.
