Hellbent played the gay and lesbian film festival circuit throughout 2004 and 2005 before a limited theatrical release in September 2005. The motion picture helped spark a wave of “gay slasher” films. Etheredge-Ouzts had never written a complete script before, nor directed a film. To prepare to write the script, he viewed as many horror films from the 1980s as he could locate. After watching these amazing 80’s horrors, he got a feel on what every slasher film has for the straight audience(“the final girl”,  “the slut”, “the tough guy”), turning each type into a gay version.  Hellbent features original as well as licensed songs by queercore bands Nick Name and the Normals, Best Revenge, Pansy Division, and Three Dollar Bill.  The music has been described as “equal doses of club tracks and Korn-style nu metal.
