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.

If you want to share; do you have any horror movie reccs? I kinda like the less indie ones haha, but anything is nice!! I really enjoyed Talk to Me and Black Phone from some of the recent-ish ones. Looking forward to watching Longlegs!

oh man do i !! ill share some of my favs and this got really long so under the cut lol

i love scifi horror, and prometheus/alien covenant is such a big pick for me, david8 one of my fav horror antagonists ever. Also in the scifi horror genre, i ADORE event horizon, its basically demonic haunted house in space with the best cast ever and you should watch it.

I love Robert Eggers generally (the lighthouse is probably my favorite movie of all time tho i dont really consider it horror) but the witch is definitely horror and if you like historical/period pieces its an absolute must watch.

If we want some more serious veined and disturbing horrors imo- lets go with Dogtooth and The Killing of a Sacred Deer by Lanthimos. Theyre slower and heavy and too bright and too horrible. their strangeness just picks at you, movies that really feel like someone grabbing your face and forcing you to look. in a similar world, i like funny games, both the original and the remake, as well as suspiria, the original and the remake. It's become rather trendy lately, i keep seeing gifs of it around lol, but Possession is also fantastic, another great performance from sam neill.

I love 80s horror, The Thing is probably one of the best horror movies ever made, just a masterclass of tension and effects work. I love the movie CHRISTINE which is about a murderous possessed car. the shining is a fucking classic and still one of the most unsettling movies for me to watch. i also love children of the corn, the strange folk horror of it is really just kind of crazy cool and underrated imo..

back to recent, its very hyped but It Follows definitely lives up to that hype. one of the best film scores in recent memory, insane performances and sense of dread. if you dont mind extreme heavy violence, green room is a fantastic watch. get out is a modern horror classic and another must watch, and i see it talked about less, but i love peele's US even more and find it so so terrifying, lupita nyongos performance in it is beyond haunting.

im a huge huge sucker for a monster movie, i adore monsters, i've already mentioned the thing and alien series which are great examples but here, take some more! i loved crawl, alligator themed florida horror. Underwater, if you like a big monster. del Toro's mimic is crazy and creepy. Annihilation isn't what id call a horror movie, but its quite horrifying, and definitely has some of my favorite movie monsters... same with When Animals Dream its more a coming of an age than a True Horror but its my favorite werewolf movie ive ever watched so i would be remiss to not mention it

i also LOVE found footage, a subgenre only really pursued by horror film, and theres a lot of bad ones but a few good ones lol. The Bay is one i'll always recommend, it uses so many mediums so well to weave this very real and awful tale of ecohorror. the OG, the blair witch project. Hell House LLC is the perfect halloween movie to get freaked out on before you and your friends go to a haunted house...

i could go on and on but this is already a lot lol....but theres so many great horror movies out there!! you need only to watch them 🫶 hope you enjoy if you do check any of these out!!

[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.

[batesmotelofficial]

This is my full attempt to watch the hell house series.

Specially before movie number 5 comes out next year, the concept pretty cool and here’s the synopsis

Hell House LLC (2015)

A documentary film crew investigates the deaths of 15 people, including tour-goers and staff, on the opening night of a Halloween haunted house five years after the tragedy. The film reveals what happened leading up to the incident and what went wrong that night. It was directed by Stephen Cognetti and stars Gore Abrams, Alice Bahlke, Danny Bellini, and Paul O'keefe. Hell House LLC is available on Amazon Video, Shudder, YouTube, Vudu, and iTunes.

How good is the hell house llc series ? Have you seen it ?

it gets hyped up so so so much and i watched the first one this past october cuz i was really interested in it because of all the hype and i watched all the foundflix on them but like i just couldn’t get into it 😖 the entire story gets more convoluted as the series goes on and that kinda killed it for me. 😩 i really don’t get the hype behind it even as a found footage lover like i wanted so so badly to like them but i just couldn’t 😭😭 i would still say give it a shot just because it gets the hype and you might like it~
