Hell House LLC II: The Abaddon Hotel (2018)

It’s been two years since the deaths at Hell House. Other people have gone in to investigate, get views for social media, grab a souvenir, or for a dare. They’ve all disappeared.  Now Jessica and her team want to determine if the Hell House documentary is real or fake.

Jessica pressures Mitchell, the only member of the news team who didn’t disappear, into going in with her. She figures since he edited the film for the documentary, he would know the house inside and out. Jessica, Mitchell and a cameraman head in, while leaving Molly outside in case anything goes wrong.  Attention seeking psychic Brock and his cameraman show up unexpectedly and enter with them, but go off on their own once inside.

Jessica wants to go to the basement since there are supposed to be videos and photos in a fridge down there. Mitchell isn’t happy about this, but goes along with it.  Shortly afterwards Molly shows up asking why they called her in when she was clear she didn’t want to be inside. The problem is they never called her. Oh damn, that creepy house is at it again.   Oh Molly you and the rest of the crew are doomed.

This isn’t as good as the first film, but still good compared to most found footage movies. One reveal is footage of Alex from he first movie talking about how he lost all their money and Hell House is the way to get the money back.  So confirmation Alex is a jerk.

Ridiculous dialogue

I’d like to point out, and I think it’s important to clarify for the audience, that these four individuals who have gone missing were amateur ghost hunters. They were not trained professional paranormal investigators.  

Unlike other journalists, we film every part of our story from inception to publication. And we’re totally transparent. Everything is released once we’re published.
