And the camera operator is an avatar for the viewer, making it a first-person perspective to be really immersive. VR FFFs would be the ultimate scare-fest. 🤔

[@JakeBrannan5499]

the first Hell House LLC film is one of the scariest movies I've seen. The entire build-up the basement is incredibly anxiety-inducing, the scenes with the clown, and the bedroom scene with the woman appearing sitting against the wall and staring at us, that's one of the scariest moments I've ever seen in a film and one of the only times I have had to shield my eyes and peek through my fingers while watching a horror movie.

[@seanriley2534]

Was hoping someone would mention the scene with the woman/Paul. Literally gave me, an entire ass grown adult, nightmares lol. Such a good ass movie

[@maxsommers6843]

I didn't expect much going into it but was very pleasantly surprised at how well done it was. Despite considering myself largely desensitised when it comes to a lot of horror, it got me in a few spots ngl, the ghost woman in Paul's bedroom being one of them.

[@CamThomasFanatic]

I fell asleep watching the movie and woke up during the scene with the woman... bro I didn't sleep for a couple nights in a row. I had to rewatch the scene multiple times to get over the fear

[@solis_nova]

the scene with the woman in the room quite literally made me lose sleep

[@bloodyneptune]

The scene with the clown on the stairs scared me the most (it _would_ be the 'girl in the room' scene, but then Id have to think about it)

[@Southside1804]

The clown at the top of the steps moving it’s head might be up there with one of my favourite horror film moments ever

[@thealchemist51]

Fun fact time! In the strobe lighting, seen the actor who was screaming his head off, then ran out of the room and threw up. That was actually a real reaction. Well, the guy knew what was happening. The whole thing freaked him out so much that he genuinely got scared and puke.

[@MY94SUPRA]

He said in an interview that it was also from bad food earlier not agreeing with him.

[@nicholasdanner628]

The performances are really what make these films for me, the first one especially, whether or not things feel tense and grounded or goofy and scripted I almost never stop believing that I’m watching real people with genuine relationships to one another and goals driving them forward, it’s honestly refreshing to see that kind of authenticity in a subgenre where trying to seem authentic can matter more to the filmmakers than telling a solid story

[@Hennichell]

Gore Abrams as Paul was particularly good in my opinion. He starts as this obnoxious pervert guy that cracks jokes at everything, but then the hotel pulls a "and fuck this guy in particular" on him and he just starts breaking. And for the most part, he's basically alone to deal with it, because although the crew likes him a lot, he already established himself as a somewhat unreliable person, so no one really believes him until it's already too late.

[@vicentegeonix]

Like Oscar worthy performance? Of authenticity?

[@chaosbeam4654]

Whatever you think about the movie, you gotta give the guy some props. He went in with a story to tell, and he saw it through

[@JohnDoe-gu7ix]

I actually enjoyed the entire trilogy even though it got more campy and bonkers as it progressed. The first film is legitimately terrifying. The clips of others exploring the hotel in part two were unnerving. Part 3 was the first to actually have some laughs (the line “this is the scariest job I’ve ever had and I worked children’s theater in Alabama” is comedy gold). All in all, I had fun with all three and actually left me wanting more of the Abbadon Hotel.

[@joshsheler7036]

the only reason I like part 3 over part 2 is because of this one reference to the last supper where Russel orders bread and wine the night before Insomnia opens, and the reason its done so well is because they didnt call any attention to it.

[@sailorchiaki]

Yes exactly! This has actually wound up being my fav horror movie ever (the sequels aren't my favs especially the second one, but I love them in connection to the first one).

[@fleshsuitman]

They have a 4th installment coming.

[@gurs6714]

The first Hell House without a doubt has one of the best, most tasteful jumpscares I've ever seen in a found footage horror.

[@rhetiq9989]

The bedroom girl ghost is genuinely one of the most spine tingling things I’ve seen in movies. I’ve seen that bit numerous times by now and it still creeps me the fuck out. Something about her being chill and not over the top, plus those small snake-like pupils make her so goddamn terrifying

[@gurs6714]

@@rhetiq9989 yea for me it's the subtlety of the jumpscare - no big build up, nothing to drum the scene up otherwise. It just happens and it's fkn awesome.

Both the Clown one and the bedroom scene was absolutely well shot and well done. Like i wasn't even anticipating anything and boom a solid jumpscare. Loved it.

[@froonamission1013]

I freaking love this trilogy. The first one is definitely the strongest, but they really threw their all into the whole story.

[@MrRoboto81]

Honestly, I like that the story was wrapped up and thoroughly explained. Too many found footage films all follow the same tired formula: mysterious disappearance/accident, investigation, mysterious unexplained incidents, jump scare, jump scare, jump scare, frantic shaking camera during the final scenes, character dies, camera drops showing a brief glimpse of…..something, the end. Hell House bucks that trend by thoroughly explaining the story and giving us a good look at the actual monsters that infest the hotel. And sure, the angel/demon fight at the end of part 3 seemingly comes out of nowhere, but it’s a logical conclusion to where we already knew the story was heading anyway, so why not treat the audience to it? Overall, I like them. It’s one of the better found footage films and series available right now.

[@HDFSpeedNuva]

The directors cut has a scene in it where while they're trying to hang a noose on the ceiling, there's an open door to blackness in the background where you can see a set of eyes in the dark. Then as the cameraman moves back to the camera to pick it up, his body briefly passes in front of the door and now the doorway is full of eyes. That scene really stuck with me specifically because that's an invasive fear of mine whenever I sleep with the door open 😂

[@KwikTripCryptid]

My favorite found footage film to come out in the past few years is Butterfly Kisses. I personally really love how the two stories of the "actual" found footage and the man who found the footage trying to restore it play out in the film and think they mesh really well. It's just such an interesting idea for a found footage film to me.

[@Super.Whimsy]

Criminally underrated. RIP to the director. He deserved acclaim for this film.

[@Spectra651]

Someone has probably already mentioned this, but there are actually two versions of the first Hell House film. One version, I think the Directors Cut but I'm not for sure on that, adds in a few more minor scenes, but more importantly it actually shows what happens in the basement with the girl tied up as a sacrifice. It gives just a little more clarity for those who were left feeling like the payoff wasn't as satisfying as it could've been.

[@wyslanniknewworldorder9525]

The scary thing is that the Tully's minions *can* exit the hotel and *be* outside the haunted place.

[@Hennichell]

Oh, so, so happy that you finally covered this! Love the simplicity of the first movie in particular, the little foreshadowings were great (Sara saying she's "at a better place" during the interview, Alex commenting on how they couldn't move the clowns' necks, Tony mumbling he would end up dying on the basement's stairway...) and the acting was just so organic - with the light exception perhaps of that Robert Lyons author they interview, that guy's so dramatic with his expressions 😅. Paul was, surprisingly, my favorite character: I usually have zero patience with perverts like him, but I just love how his character loses his jokey and laidback persona, and by the end I ended up feeling worse for him than for the others, it really felt like the hotel was coming for him in particular.

[@bcfortenberry]

These are way better than they should be. A great example of the genre.

[@Duskets]

15:30 is genuinely a terrifying shot. It takes a lot to unsettle me but that strikes right to my core.

[@Scarshadow666]

I agree that the element of the Abaddon Hotel trying to attract random people to it so that it can procure more souls is definitely one of the more creepier aspects of the series. It reminds me of how most of the Silent Hill franchise sometimes involves the town "calling out" to people to lure them to SH... 0_0

I grew up around where they filmed the first one and went to the house when it was an actual haunted house sometime in the early 2000's.

Ever since I saw the tv show Gargoyles as a kid, I've had a fondness for interconnected stories where there is something bigger happening in the background that ties it all together. It's why I liked Trick or Treat and Southbound. Details that you may or may not have noticed from a previous story is interwoven with other stories to indicate the general world building. Now I can't say it works every time or was an idea that was planned from the start, but it's an aspect of storytelling that greatly appeals to me.

I remember suggesting you to look into this movie for a while now, and I'm glad you've finally covered it. While I'm 100% with anyone who claims this series suffers from heavy sequelitis, I still found it enjoyable all throughout. The first Hell House LLC seemed extremely competent in its storytelling and direction, showing exactly enough to give you the general picture, but omitting just the right details to allow your imagination to run rampant. The subtle background scares really make you second guess yourself and throw you off balance perfectly. THe second one has probably one of my favorite horror movie moments in recent history, the "I'm sorry, I will go now" scene, that is so tense, it wouldn't feel out of place in Skinamarink. Third one is 100% camp and should not be taken too seriously. Overall, yeah, it's one of the finer "found footage" horrors of recent memory, and definitely feels like a breath of fresh air.

[@darkkit1994]

The second movie is weirdly my favorite. I think this is because I love meta--I'm terrible about that, but also because of the satiric bent. Yes, I do wish it wasn't so hand-holdy, but I appreciated it so much I showed my wife #2 before #1--which made #2 significantly better as it put her in the position that the movie pretends you're in: someone who didn't see the first movie.

It genuinely feels like a documentary, the talking heads they’ve got in the framing narrative all seem really genuine (the reporter who broke in and took photos especially), the Hell House crew are all surprisingly likeable for horror protagonists. Great scares, an overall sense of dread. The long take at the beginning, with the couple trying to escape a crowd crush, is horribly realistic and claustrophobic.
