SUMMARY: Five years after an unexplained malfunction causes the death of 15 tour-goers and staff on the opening night of a Halloween haunted house tour, a documentary crew travels back to the scene of the tragedy to find out what really happened.

The mod hasn’t seen this movie, but Ryan Hollinger released a video about it and it definitely looks like an interesting watch. It’s a found footage which is one of my favourite sub-genres.

The Hell House movies are getting another one next year and you bet I am STOKED

[crumb]

did you watch hell house: the lake of fire? i don’t know how i feel about the film since tonally it seemed different from the others, but wanted to know what you thought/if you liked it since you know a lot about the franchise.

I did! Unfortunately, I have like no memory of what even happens in it lmao. I read the synopsis on wikipedia to see if it would jog my memory and I got nothing. (Time for a rewatch I guess!) I checked my letterboxd and I did watch it in 2022 and I even rated it but I didn't leave a review. Here are the HHLLC films ranked based on the ratings I gave them. 1. ���️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Hell House LLC Origins: The Carmichael Manor (2023) 2. ⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ Hell House LLC (2015) 3. ⭐️⭐️✨ Hell House LLC III: Lake of Fire (2019) 4. ⭐️⭐️ Hell House LLC II: The Abaddon Hotel (2018) The first film was really good imo, but then the second and third films fell short a little (from what I remember of them at least and from my ratings lol) but as the sequels go on they get better and better. The latest sequel I rated even higher than the first film. While the first film is now like a classic to me, I think we're seeing Cognetti grow as a filmmaker and improve his craft, which is really cool!! and it makes me really excited for the next installment (there's a mostly blank entry on letterboxd 🧐) and other future films! He's had a film called 825 Forest Road in post-production since like 2021 and I'm dying to see it but so far I don't think there's been any updates of when it'll be released. Hopefully soon! 🤞 Sorry if this didn't really answer your question, this is why I've now made it a habit to write something as a review for most of the films I watch because... sometimes I just completely forget. But thank you! Because now I know I gotta do a rewatch of the franchise 😁

Hell House LLC Series Overview

As a format, found footage doesn’t usually lend itself to cohesive series. This is because when done right, the storytelling is immersive, rather than expansive. The whole point is in experiencing the story from one specific point of view, and a big part of that is not having all the information. But this series does a very good job of providing you with three movies, each of which provides its own complete story, coming together to give you one larger narrative. The first one gives you a scenario, the second one expands your understanding of that scenario, and then the third one wraps everything up. It is a cohesive narrative, in a format that makes that difficult.

Movie Review: The 'Hell House LLC' Series

During a recent bout of COVID, we decided to dig into a horror franchise that we were previously unfamiliar with. Initially mistaking this for the haunted house movie featuring a bunch of body modification enthusiasts, we found ourselves working through Stephen Cognetti’s tetralogy of found footage haunted house occultism films Hell House LLC. These movies follow a series of deaths and…

i love your taste in movies, do you have any recommendations for scary movies that are on streaming right now? i just moved and i'm planning to get a library card this weekend but until then i need something to tide me over :)

oh thank you!!! yes! this is just from taking a look around at some of the horror streaming guides i’ve seen online so hopefully these are accurate to which service they’re said to be on!

on netflix:

•train to busan (2016) is an all timer for me that i really think is just a masterpiece. even if you’re a little burned out on zombie media, i still say give train to busan a chance because it does zombies in a way that felt really refreshing and different. the characters in this movie are so well done and it makes me genuinely emotional every time i watch <3

•as above, so below (2014) is such a fun movie like omg….i simply was having the time of my life watching it. really leans into as many scares as it can possibly think of, doesn’t take itself or its subject matter too seriously, genuinely gives me sweaty palms sometimes with the claustrophobia of the paris catacombs. also has the rlly cute guy from cloverfield/super store who i have a big crush on

•some honorable mentions: zombieland (2009) is forever a comfort movie for me, scary stories to tell in the dark (2019) did a genuinely great job imo of adapting the book series, and pearl (2022) is just a great time

on HBO max:

•poltergeist (1982) is an underrated fav of mine <3 weirdly i think of it as like a family friendly horror movie? like i think you could sit down kids in front of poltergeist and they’d generally be okay, which i love and find so compelling in movies that genuinely are scary but also kinda work with younger viewers. feat. the iconic zelda rubinstein

•trick r treat (2007): THEEE halloween movie. its literally a movie ABOUT halloween and about the love of the holiday and the season. genuinely makes me feel so emotional about halloween and the beautiful lovely meaningful holiday it is for so many of us. just a fun campy time, everything ties together in such a clever way, and sam is a little baby. what more could you want?

•honorable mentions: of course the scream franchise (1-4) are classics and so worthy of rewatching, and i’ll recommend open water (2003) because to me it is absolutely terrifying and i find myself thinking about it very often

on hulu:

•the omen (1976) always hits for me. i love this movie and find it so effective in its horror. i LOVE a creepy kid. a bit of the omen trivia: in the final shot, damien wasn’t originally intended to be smiling. he was supposed to look dead ahead at the camera. but the actor was told to be serious and look stern, which made him giggle, so the smile at the end is genuine in that he was trying to suppress a laugh. they kept it because it came across so sinister and tonally perfect in the context of the movie :)

•sea fever (2020) listen no one EVER talks about this movie but i was blown away by it. ocean horror is one of my moms fav subgenres so if we can find a horror movie about the ocean you better believe we will be watching. i thought the concept of this movie and its monster (? if you can call it that) were so fresh and original. compared to its predecessors like leviathan or deep star six, i honestly think sea fever is more effective in its scares

•honorable mentions: hulu has so many good choices! alien (1979) and the fly (1986) are obviously beloved classics for a reason. also if you’re looking for a series, castle rock is near and dear to my heart and is very well done

on prime:

•hell house llc (2015) is another one of those classic Halloween movies to me like it truly is a love letter to the holiday…mwah. found footage is my fav subgenre and this movie does it very well. it has one of the most effective scares that truly took my breath away upon first watch and stuck with me ever since

•10 cloverfield lane (2016): ohhh the cloververse my beloved….i often speak highly of cloverfield (2008) because it’s one of my absolute favorite movies of all time, but i don’t as often talk about 10 cloverfield. not sure why tbh because i love it as well! holy FUCK john goodman is scary in this. it truly sets up a horrifying situation, does so much with a small limited environment, and again john goodman has me shakin in my boots. you don’t have to have seen cloverfield to watch this one! you can watch em out of order no problem

•honorable mentions: of course the thing (1982) is immaculate and gets me every single time. just getting reports right now that lisa frankenstein (2024) is already on prime, HIGHLY recommend, wish i could go back in time to the day i watched this in theaters alone in a new windbreaker i had just thrifted and felt so at peace

honorable streaming service mention: shudder is worth a subscription if you’re wanting to go all in on horror this halloween season. it’s got such a fun eclectic collection and amazing movies like late night with the devil (2024) and series like history of horror

Hi!😊 What are your favourite horror books, shows and or movies? I'm not very familiar with the genre, but when I was a teenager I was hooked on The Fear Street series (R. L. Stine) and Stephen King books (my faves are Salem's Lot and Pet Cemetery). Recently I read the book with the long title about vampires by Grady Hendrix and I also loved it. As for TV shows I love Mike Flanagan's stories 💚

Fun question! I'm gonna answer it without too much thought, knowing I'm leaving off some faves. Otherwise I'd take forever and make it less fun 🥲. In no particular order. . .italic = added later.

Books - I know that Grady Hendrix one 😅 - "The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires," I liked it too. And Pet Sematary as well. As a kid, I really enjoyed Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, and imo the books hold up lol. I was also into Goosebumps. I like The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson and the miniseries. Horror-adjacent: The Snowman by Jo Nesbø; Sharp Objects by Gyllian Flynn (loved the miniseries, too). When I travel, I pick up a local ghost/hauntings book. Love folklore and urban legends.

Shows: Black Mirror, Dark, Hannibal, Yellowjackets s 1-2, Archive 81 (Matt McGorry is daddy). American Horror Story s1 Murder House. Dark Shows - Bordertown (Finnish). Maniac (sci-fi, the aesthetic scratches my brain soooo good).

Dark Non-fiction: series: Chernobyl, Dopesick, Dahmer, Murder Mountain. Unsolved Mysteries. Movies: The good nurse

Movies, skipping most of the classics: Coherence. The Bad Batch. The Guest. Barbarian. The Night House. Hell House LLC. The Lodge. The Endless. We Are Still Here. It Comes at Night. The Witch. Lake Mungo. mother!. Donnie Darko. Haunting in Connecticuit. The killing of a sacred deer. 10 Cloverfield Lane. The Menu. Candyman (both). [My idea of] Fun: M3gan, Us, Malignant, Terrifier 2, Bodies bodies bodies, It Follows, Thanksgiving, Green Inferno, Happy Death Day. And of course any I've written for.

Honorable mentions for physical effect: When Evil Lurks (Argentinian) made me physically gag out loud in the theater. I thirst-watched The Cursed and it gave me a nightmare (boyd wasn't in it ☹️). Tales from the Loop (sci fi series) made me sob.

I welcome no-pressure recommendations! More likely to try shows/movies.

[sermna]

I love the Hell House LLC series. My favorite part is where they put in flash backs to previous scenes in case maybe you forgot they happened

[i-am-too-sick]

Here is the list of horror/thriller-esque movies from the last decade that y'all helped me create. I added an honorable mentions section for movies suggested that didn't fit the timeframe. I can't wait to go back and rewatch some of these (I can't believe I forgot about The Perfection), and check out some of the ones I haven't seen yet! I added the movies as a couple of screenshots to save space, but I'll also add the text version under a read more. Happy watching!

SUMMARY: Internet sleuths travel to Carmichael Manor, site of the 1989 Carmichael family murders. They find a terror that's lurked in the shadows long before Hell House LLC.

I’ve watched all the Hell House LLC movies and I can confidently say it’s one of my favorite found footage series. The plot is interesting. The scares are good. They don’t rely on jump scares. Some of the scares are slow and creeping. It is definitely low-budget in appearance and the first movie at least seems amateur. However, I can deal with low-budget and amateur if the story is compelling enough.

I’ve seen V/H/S, but not all the movies. It is the good, the bad, and the ugly of found footage to me. I’ve seen Creep I & II. Those were technically good, but they made me so uncomfortable that I will never watch them again. I’ve seen The Dark Tapes. I didn’t like it. It felt like a low-budget version of V/H/S. I saw both Grave Encounters. Both were snooze fests to me save for the last twenty minutes.

I’ve seen almost all the paranormal activity movies. The overarching story is interesting, but the movies range in quality for me. Of course, my all time favorite documentary-esque/“found footage” film is As Above, So Below. That movie is incredible to me. It’s not a series, though, and I don’t think it ever should be.

[mlmshark]

-three films you will never get bored of?

-a picture of your handwriting?

-an inside joke with your friends/family? (Provide as little context as you would like)

I’m always rewatching the first hunger games. I love the whole series but the first one is just special to me and I love it sm. I love spirited away, it’s a nice movie to watch when I need to relax. I love the animation, the scenes with food always make me so hungry, and it makes me want to take a warm bath (bc bathhouse setting). I have a horror special interest so obviously I need to add a horror movie, and that’d be Hell House LLC. I’ve watched this movie so many times and even though I see all the scares and plots twists coming now, I still think it’s a really good and creepy movie. I also watched the most recent one and, compared to the other two sequels, it’s amazing. The mansion setting is perfect and I can see myself rewatching it a lot.

This is the most recent photo of my handwriting I can find. It’s a diagram for an egg drop I did in physics for the last few days of school. My handwriting is really messy and very inconsistent.

One thing my family quotes all the time is “Get. Your finger. Out. Of your nose.” Which came from when we were in Japan (which was a super cool experience and I’d love to talk more about it) and we’re all really tired and hangry, so we stopped at a restaurant, but none of the staff spoke English and the menu was all in Japanese. We were all starting to get angry with each other and bickering, when my mom just suddenly turned to my brother, who was really doing nothing and not even involved in the argument, and picking his nose, and just went “Get. Your finger. Out. Of your nose.” We all ended up laughing and it calmed us all down. We still quote it to this day whenever we’re fake arguing.

[eflen-n-reegee]

much like last year some fuller thoughts on many of the films i watched under the cut

aight so the new film i watched that i liked the most was beyond a shadow of doubt late night with the devil. i watched it three times this october. i saw it and then tied everyone i knew to a chair and made them watch it with me too. fucking insane movie. i really really really really liked it and you should go watch it.

there were two films that made me actively mad while i was watching them and they were winnie the pooh blood and honey and beetlejuice beetlejuice. i thought blood and honey would at least be funny and to be fair in some places it was kinda funny but it was mostly just frustrating and boring. every single moment of action or tension is dragged on to pad the runtime to the point that the suspense gets beaten to death with a brick. there's also only pooh and piglet in the winnie the pooh horror movie which was a tad disappointing. further more there was so much gratuitous t&a in that movie i felt like i was watching something from 20 years ago. i get gratuity is still a thing in low budget horror but jesus christ dude

beetlejuice beetlejuice would have made me less mad if it was completely terrible all the way through but no a fair bit of the comedy still landed, the set and costume design were still spectacular, the score was good. but i hated sooooo much of the writing. i hated seeing jenna ortega on screen because every second she's on camera all you can smell is wb executives cumming themselves over casting "wednesday the tv series" as lydia's daughter for that sweet sweet "nostalgia + young actress relevant with The Youth". i thought making lydia into a sensationalist paranormal tv personality was stupid, i thought handwaving the maitlands out of the movie entirely was stupid, i thought giving beetlejuice a concrete backstory was stupid, there's a lot i could complain about but it should frankly be its own post.

m3gan was surprisingly really fun, the menu was UNsurprisingly really fun, chronicle was a movie i'd wanted to watch since i was a kid and i have kinda mixed feelings on it but overall i thought it was pretty neat if a bit hamfisted at times.

i didnt intend to watch 3 vhs movies im not crazy about the series but im nostalgic for the first 2 i guess. they were also anthologies so if i was running out of time in the day to watch my movie i could pop one on finish a segment then do the rest in the morning. i forgot the first segment of vhs2 entirely wow it sucks. novel concept but it sucks

the black phone was just aight to be it was a neat concept and it was well shot but i dont think it was an all timer like ive seen so many people insist. like i enjoyed it dgmw i think it was a good movie.

the haunting hour dont think about it is a movie i loved as a kid but watching it as an adult it is exactly what i wanted pooh blood and honey to be: astonishingly and HILARIOUSLY bad. i was high and laughing the entire way through the movie. i loved teen emily osment in her goth girl outfit crying and staring at the ceiling while listening to like royalty free emo music on her ipod. i loved the monster puppet looking cool and yucky but having a really limited range of motion so when it "devours itself" at the end of the movie one head just kinda clumsily bites the other until it flashes and explodes into yellow goo. so much amazing line delivery. and it smash cutting at the end to a completely unrelated song by emily osment that is also called "dont think about it" (which as a kid i feel like i remember airing on the disney channel entirely divorced from the movie). really fucking funny

all my rewatches were still good. i watched scream with chelsea and she liked it so scream is still the king baby ill watch it a million times.

ok i think thats all happy to answer any more questions if you read all this. bai
