Hell House LLC: Lineage

If there is a Hell House LLC movie made after this one, I might change my tune about the quality of this film. Judging it as the final entry in the series, however, it is probably one of the worst endings to a horror franchise I've ever seen. Imagine if the Halloween franchise ended at Revenge or Curse, and even then that's being generous because those movies each had an actual climax point in their stories. This movie not only ends 2/3 of the way into its story, it ends at the point where the movie was starting to actually get interesting. Regardless of the negative feedback that this movie has gotten from me and others, I sincerely hope that Stephen Cognetti makes another movie to at least end the series on a less confusing note. Leaving the entire series on a cliffhanger is the most depressing outcome for the Hell House fans anticipating this release. As a standalone, I would probably rate it close to a 7/10, but judging it as the final entry unfortunately lowers it down to a 4/10.

I hardly leave reviews, but constantly rate, however I feel it my obligation to help others on this one. Hell House, LLC is one of the best scary movies in decades. This is a complete pile of garbage. DO NOT waste your time or money. Any highly rated review is absolutely fake. Slow, terrible, not scary, corny, poorly acted, poorly scored, pure trash.

A distributor pulled a pathetic stunt and asked people to not leave any negative reviews and pump up audience ratings to hide the fact that this movie SUCKS. I used to love the Hell House franchise but between the move away from FF and the actions of Terror Films I will never watch another one as long as I live. Absolutely pathetic and destroys the entire meaning of ratings and reviews.

I never saw 1-4 before purchasing my ticket for this one. After finding out this was part 5 I almost requested a refund because I didn't have time to watch the first 4 before the showtime (could only find them on Tubi). Thankful I went in anyways...

Let me start off by saying I was lost for a bit but it's not that hard to see what was going on; some creepy stuff scared some people and they were now haunted by "images" of creepy clowns. I honesty liked it. I did go home and watch the originals and I can see why some fans were upset with this one; it's COMPLETELY different but I dig it! I think it's fun for a series to go through changes. Look at Jason, he's been to HELL and SPACE literally and we still love him! Found footage was never really my favorite horror genre (I do love a few!!) but the story of this series is what gets me. It's pretty creepy. I have to say part 1 seems to be the best so far but I'm ready for part 6 of it comes !!

Cognetti decided to switch from found footage to, in his own words, "real" filmmaking. That's a slap in the face to the genre and gave me a bad taste in my mouth. Still, I'm a huge HH fan so I obviously had to see what he'd come up with. My expectations were low but this was just a disaster. It wasn't remotely scary. The story promised to answer some questions, and it did..it just gave boring and nonsensical ones. My girlfriend had no idea what was going on, and said it was one of the least scary movies I've dragged to her to. I knew what was going on, and just found it to be a mess. It's a truly terrible way to end a great franchise, and it's all due to Cognetti's arrogance. He aban what got him here in the first place, and the reviews speak for themselves (the real reviews..not the 8-10's that are clearly fake). If you see a great review, check the user's review history. If this is the only movie they've ever reviewed, it's clearly someone who has something to gain. There's a lot of that on this website, unfortunately. This film is getting roasted on Reddit, Rotten, and YouTube. Don't be fooled. To Cognetti, I'm sure you're reading these reviews. Do the right thing and finish this franchise with a worthy ending. Go back to the basics and what got you here. You created a great franchise, but you were in way over your head here.
