YMMV / A Walk Through Hell

Go To

  • Anvilicious: America is Hell. If you don't get that early on, don't worry, Garth will make sure to emphasize and repeat it as necessary.
  • Catharsis Factor: Shaw shooting Carnahan through the head while he's writing his confession. While this may have been part of the latter's plan, it's still immensely satisfying to see basically the only comeuppance he ever gets for his atrocities, and it clearly pissed him off all the same.
  • Complete Monster: Paul Carnahan is a demon aiming to open a portal to Hell on Earth. After slaughtering his own family as a child, only sparing his sister so she could tell the authorities, Carnahan is sent to juvenile hall, where he makes connections and grows in power. Upon his release, Carnahan recruits twelve child molesters to kidnap children for him to rape and then kill by showing them a vision of Hell, causing them to commit suicide. Carnahan later does the same to his accomplices, and later his own lawyer. This leads to one of the accomplices committing a massacre at a shopping mall, killing a mother and her baby. Carnahan then lures the FBI to the warehouse in which he opens a portal to Hell, tormenting the agents with visions of their greatest fears and trauma, only allowing Shaw to leave alive so that she'd attempt to assassinate the governer, leading her right back to hell with the knowledge that she helped him make the world worse.
