Hell House LLC
Directed by Stephen Cognetti
In this found-footage gem, a documentary crew visit the site of a haunted house attraction whose opening night ended with 15 unexplained deaths. Eventually the crew come across a surviving employee who has footage that shines a scary light on what really went down that night. As we watch those ill-fated thrillseekers shuffling through the horror house, the knowledge of what’s about to happen makes for a squirm-and-scream-inducing good time. Dread Central called it “a perfect fright flick for the Halloween season” which features “one of the creepiest clowns to appear in a horror movie in a long time.” Sorry Pennywise!

Really enjoyable found footage film.
This is my favorite horror movie. im really conflicted on found footage because of how easy it is to do it completely wrong but i had an overwhelming sense of dread over this entire movie. the acting is fantastic, the scares are scary, and its just genuinely terrifying
Just watched this for my second time, and while I still see the same faults (often times, the question of why the camera would be held as it was takes us out of the 'found footage' illusion; some of the non-acting was overacted; character motivation is all over the place; the creaky damned cam-mics!) it remains an enjoyable foray in the subgenre. Some nice little creepy scares while avoiding any overt and useless jump-scares. As others have said: it breaks no new ground, but is a solid entry.
a hidden gem
One of the better found footage movies and does a great job at building the atmosphere throughout. The ending in my opinion is too cryptic and remains a little too loose-ended for my taste personally. Still great however.
