Hell House LLC is a frustrating found footage/mockumentary horror movie because it does some things really well, but the majority is a headache inducing muddle.
The film is presented as a documentary about a haunted attraction set up in an old hotel, and how several people died on its opening night. It uses "found footage" and talking head interviews to tell the story, but too often it veers into that ultimate found footage horror movie problem of people filming what no one in real life would actually film, and including footage that no actual documentary would ever include because it's so boring. (There is a lot of footage featuring the annoying characters putting together the haunted attraction. A lot. Too much.)
This movie is the first in what has become a franchise, with three sequels and another on the way. But I don't think I'll be seeking any more of them out.
I watched Hell House LLC on Shudder.
