Hell’s Half-Acre is a true-crime Western inspired by the haunting case of the Bloody Benders—America’s first family of serial killers. Set in the lawless heart of post-Civil War Kansas, it combines the brutal realism of In Cold Blood with the macabre intimacy of Sweeney Todd. Based on the acclaimed novel by Nicholas Nicastro, the film delivers a gripping, atmospheric descent into violence, secrecy, and the American hunger for reinvention. Hell’s Half-Acre will find a ready audience as it spins a unique, historically rich tale of psychological suspense and frontier justice.
