Jeffrey’s Hell (2024)

Filmmaker Aaron Irons has been missing for almost a year now and all that was left behind was his camera. His prior film, Chest (2022, UFF5 Virtual), explored the rich folklore, myths, and history of an area in the Appalachian region of Tennessee called “Jeffrey’s Hell” through the lens of a found footage horror narrative. The forest is a large region, spanning multiple states and containing over sixty thousand square miles of wilderness — plenty of space for someone to disappear.

Runtime: 1hr 20min

Jeffrey’s Hell explores the way unrealized aspirations and memories of the past can haunt us via a dark descent into a mysterious cave where he sees the fabric of his reality begin to come apart at the seams.

Fans of woodsy horror flicks will find a lot to like about CHEST, including a rampaging climax that reads like Southern-fried Sam Raimi.

The lingering effects of [Jeffrey’s Hell] are profound, and I highly recommend it as an intellectual alternative to the same-old found footage cinema.

Jeffrey’s Hell is a uniquely creative, well-written story that weaves together real Appalachian folklore, fiction, and thought-provoking commentary.
