Dylan Scott Vox Extremely seasonal in the best way. Oct 19, 2018 Full Review David Day Horror Movie Talk Ultimately the payout at the end is pretty intense, but I can see how some might be underwhelmed when it’s been built up so much by the documentary portion of this film. Rated: 7/10 Sep 18, 2025 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...the movie slowly-but-surely runs out of steam... Rated: 2/4 May 8, 2021 Full Review Emma Wolfe SpookyAstronauts They'd done such a good just setting up this film... The ending really let me down. Rated: 4/10 Apr 23, 2021 Full Review May Leitz Nyx Fears This is an endless commitment to the bit. Nov 15, 2019 Full Review C.H. Newell Father Son Holy Gore An engaging story, not just shaky cameras and screaming and a slew of expected the sub-genre's tropes. A truly chilling haunted hotel story.

TheMovieSearch R Hell House LLC attempts to deliver a found-footage horror experience, but from the very beginning it struggles to find its footing. The film positions itself somewhere between The Blair Witch Project and a haunted-house thriller, yet it never commits to either style with clarity. Instead, it bounces back and forth in tone and technique, creating a disjointed viewing experience that undermines any tension it tries to build. The direction feels chaotic and unfocused, as if the filmmakers were unsure of the story they wanted to tell. Scenes cut abruptly, the camera work is often sloppy rather than intentionally immersive, and the overall visual style lacks cohesion. Rather than heightening suspense, the cinematography works against the film, making key moments feel messy instead of unsettling. The screenplay for Hell House LLC is equally problematic. It’s weakly structured, poorly paced, and filled with dialogue that never manages to feel natural or compelling. Instead of drawing the audience deeper into the mystery surrounding the haunted attraction, the script pushes viewers further away. The narrative stumbles from scene to scene with little sense of purpose, making it difficult to connect with or invest in anything happening on screen. The acting does little to help the film’s shortcomings. Performances feel forced, inconsistent, and at times almost parodic. The cast seems unsure of how seriously to take the material, resulting in scenes that are unintentionally comedic rather than frightening. When the foundation of a found-footage film depends heavily on convincing performances, this level of disconnect becomes impossible to ignore. What’s most baffling is how Hell House LLC managed to spawn multiple sequels. Typically, the first film in a horror franchise sets a compelling narrative tone or delivers enough intrigue to justify continuing the story. Here, the opposite is true—the original entry feels like a rough draft that never reached a finished state. The fact that it evolved into a series remains one of the most surprising elements attached to the film. Ultimately, Hell House LLC is a disappointing experience from start to finish. It fails to deliver effective scares, emotional engagement, or narrative cohesion, resulting in a film that feels more like a missed opportunity than a meaningful contribution to the genre. For viewers seeking smart, atmospheric found-footage horror, this one is easy to skip. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/30/25 Full Review David B. Always love found footage horror films and boy did this not disappoint. The first part is a nice slow build with creepy scenes throughout. I was worried the ending was disappointing but I was satisfied. One of the creepier horror movies I’ve seen. Highly recommend for fans of found footage horror films. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/12/25 Full Review Banff 9. This film always gets me in the Halloween spirit. It’s truly creepy, the cast is believable, and—unlike countless “Paranormal Activity” films where the audience is subject to endless footage where nothing is happening—when the camera in this movie is guiding you to see something, keep your eyes wide open because it’s about to happen. Scene-to-scene, about as good as the “found footage” genre gets. Again, just very creepy. If you don’t watch 96% of this movie, watch the scene late in the movie with Paul in the bedroom. Gets me every time. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/06/25 Full Review chad D. I thought this was a really decent found footage type film, I’m on the fence whether this or the House October Built is the winner of this Halloween genre. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/05/25 Full Review Griffith J A lot of potential to break out of the found footage norms but it quickly falls into a generic low budget mess. Some genuinely well made mockumentary moments that could have worked well but they are quickly abandoned. The premise has some creepy aspects but cannot deliver on them in any substantial way. Despite its short runtime, it drags on with a sluggish pacing & disappointing climax. A few ideas where the vision is visible but I just hate this sub-genre & this film does nothing to change my mind. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/04/25 Full Review Tom M Really scary with some nice jump scares. Thrilling story telling Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/02/25 Full Review Read all reviews
