Hell House LLC
Directed by Stephen Cognetti
In this found-footage gem, a documentary crew visit the site of a haunted house attraction whose opening night ended with 15 unexplained deaths. Eventually the crew come across a surviving employee who has footage that shines a scary light on what really went down that night. As we watch those ill-fated thrillseekers shuffling through the horror house, the knowledge of what’s about to happen makes for a squirm-and-scream-inducing good time. Dread Central called it “a perfect fright flick for the Halloween season” which features “one of the creepiest clowns to appear in a horror movie in a long time.” Sorry Pennywise!

Expected a better found footage movie named Hell House. Maybe the sequels improve the scares and the franchise as a whole.
I would say this failed as a found footage movie. The movie ran too long, dragging along the aspect of being footage that was somehow recovered multiple times, it loses the realism that should be appreciated in the probability of it having potential to scare the viewer into thinking it's real. If perhaps they ended it sooner, despite having several glaring survival flaws, it'd be at least 2 skulls. The movie actually had potential to be a paranormal horror if it expanded on the past lore and let the story unravel in the present day. Has potential, but not that great.
Oh look! more people eho act like snobby critics and litter the comment section with their idiocy. . . shocker. Fun watch btw. Overall good series.
The actors portraying people being interviewed were unfortunately not convincing. It's a difficult task, and they were just not up to it. Bad makeup and set design played a part. Also the director made a mistake by omitting any establishing shots. All of that sabotaged the film right from the start, and I couldn't go on.
This movie (and subsequent series) are excellent found footage films. Moved along pretty quickly and the reveals were not goofy. Overall a good watch.
