Hell House LLC
On Shudder

This movie is pretty good.

Hell House LLC is a documentary-style found footage movie that follows the deaths of people who worked in a haunted house attraction.

I think it's a good, but ultimately pretty flawed movie, really. Let's start with the good: you don't necessarily hate the characters. They all make sense and they're doing what they can, even the one who is the asshole of the group. It does subtle storytelling well, but I hear it's done better in deleted scenes? And the scares, when they happen, are effective. There's a clown in this that's really, really effective.

The negatives are that this just doesn't do enough. What it does, it does well. The documentary/found footage style lends to that rather well. It also feels like it needed tightened up. Again, there are apparently deleted scenes that help with the narrative, but apparently also some that are too obvious about it? But I like to think by now you guys what I mean by tightened up. It's just a movie that really feels like the narrative needed to be more solidly paced.

It's a solid concept that probably could've used a bit more polish. But what we have here is a solid flick.

There's also apparently two sequels to this and it was made to be a trilogy? I have no idea how they can do it well enough.

Rating: 5.5/10
