'Hell in a Handbasket' was the Best Screenplay winner at the 2020 Newark International Film Festival. The film was shot in Canada in December 2020 with Actor Hoyt Richards phoning in from Los Angeles, with writer Lee Chambers directing from Regina, Saskatchewan. “Hell in a Handbasket is icy horror with a timely edge." CTV POP CULTURE & FILM CRITIC - RICHARD CROUSE "Comedy, horror and suspense all within five minutes. Five Stars!" CARTER LEE - HORRORMOVIESHUB.COM "A humorous and strange tale. Chambers does a fantastic job creating what seems like a remote base in the Arctic. As a sort of sketch comedy, he has the timing down perfectly." ALAN NG - FILM THREAT
