Hell House

Cameraman/director Francois Clousot (using alternate screen name Jack Vincennes) is effusively proud of his work in a DVD Bonus commentary short describing this would-be horor movie, but what he delivered to Sin City is an undernourished copy of so many teens-in-peril exercises. Only these aren't teens but merely overworked porn players.

The cast arrives at an old abandoned hospital in downtown L.A. one night, intent upon exploring for thrills what is considered a haunted place. Francois lets us know it's the shooting location (Linda Vista Hospital) of many a feature, ranging from "A Nightmare on Elm Street" to "End of Days" plus significantly various "X Files" episodes.

Unfortunately, the smoked sets at the hospital and lousy photography merely capture random sex scenes by the cast, humping each other as well as very lovely ghosts popping up in the form of British beauty Layla Jade plus Sin City regular Shay Sweet. Breast in show goes to Kianna (as often is the case), while Tiffany Mason gets top billing providing IR content. Another Sin City mainstay Jassie gets an "Introducing" credit.

The male cast is along for the ride, headed by Steven St. Croix and Dale DaBone in nothing roles, while the evil doctor with a meat cleaver (no violence is shown on screen) is a walk-through by Sin City honcho Michael Raven. At one point Clousot has Raven gliding menacingly rather than walking down a corridor in pursuit of our leads, not creative but merely a ripoff of the familiar Spike Lee technique he and Ernest Dickerson often used in his earlier films.
