Bloody Disgusting

Cognetti cleverly expands the mythology while returning to the atmospheric foreboding and scares that made the original film such a cult favorite in the first place.

It isn’t just Cognetti’s solid deployment of the backstory that impresses; he and cinematographer Josh Layton also show a devious command of camera mechanics, vital to the subjective found-footage experience.

Hell House LLC Origins: The Carmichael Manor centers its story largely on those creepy clown mannequins — a genius move that allows filmmaker Stephen Cognetti to blanket the entire film in suffocating dread.

Rated: 4/5

Cognetti has proven with Origins that, in an allegiance to and expansion of his source material, he’s not simply beating a dead house.

A return to form for the long-running Hell House LLC franchise, The Carmichael Manor is scary as hell.

The fourth film is the best in the franchise as Cognetti strikes a good balance between jump scares, mythology, and character development. The computer stalking bit with Rebecca and Chase's final video are masterful scare sequences.

Weakest entry by far. This lacked a very solid connection to the previous entries and instead of an Origin centered on the story taking place in the past, it just manages it all through camera footage flashbacks, which isn't really all that different from other entries. I would have loved to see this be the 5th movie and a full origin movie as the 4th.

Love it, goes deeper into the whole franchise/story. A good module of a horror movie. Everything goes in place. Made me jump a few times as well. A great movie with a great theme/scenario

Scary, creepy, and really expands further on the lore of Abaddon. I’m a huge fan of the original Hell House, but this one gives it a run for its money. The new location was much needed and it’s a very creepy spot for a found footage movie. The ending was very creepy and overall I thought they did a great job. They use a very Sisnister-esque found footage part with old footage from the original owners of the house and I really enjoyed those segments. There are new and original scares and O think any fans of the original will really appreciate this entry.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars
