The Hell House LLC film series has quietly burrowed into horror fans' psyches since the original's 2015 found footage release. It went on to carve out a cult following with its eerie minimalist aesthetic and creeping supernatural dread. What began as a simple documentary-style investigation into a deadly haunted attraction has blossomed into a multi-installment fright fest with an overarching mythology you need to know.
Mood-setting scares, clever world-building, and a super creepy cultist named Andrew Tully anchor the franchise's growing popularity. The films are as much about mounting dread as they are about the jump-scares, and that's why each new chapter delivers. So, let's take a walk through each Hell House LLC movie in order to see why they keep viewers hooked.
Hell House LLC (2015)
Hell House LLC begins in 2009 when a ragtag team sets up a haunted house-type attraction in the derelict Abaddon Hotel, only for their first night to turn into a nightmare when 15 people die under strange circumstances. Sometime later, a documentary crew interviews survivors and compiles raw footage to reconstruct the terror-inducing night. But in true horror fashion, things take a frightening turn.
Viewers get to follow along through a first-person lens as the story goes from the setup down scary hallways while running into the lore of dark rituals and ominous piano music. Audiences praised the movie for its realism and the way it made everyday things feel sinister. Hardcore horror fans enjoyed the stripped-down aesthetic and its startling effectiveness.
Hell House LLC II: The Abaddon Hotel (2018)
Hell House LLC II: The Abaddon Hotel is set after the terrifyingly tragic events of the first movie. The story follows a team of journalists and investigators who ignore official warnings and return to the Abaddon Hotel to live-stream their findings. The group uncovers disturbing voicemails, mutilated mannequins, and the remnants of a cult hidden in the hotel's walls.
With each passing moment, the line between paranormal and psychological horror starts to blur. This film leans deeper into franchise lore, focusing on ritualistic symbols and creating tension with clever camerawork. While the intimate scarcity of the first is lost, fans appreciated the expanded mythology and fresh scares. The movie earned praise even though some fans missed the simplicity of the original.
Hell House LLC III: Lake of Fire (2019)
Abaddon's hauntings take a theatrical turn in Hell House LLC III: Lake of Fire when a wealthy impresario invites a theater group to perform inside the hotel as a Faustian immersive experience. Doors slam with unflinching force, mannequins move around overnight, and the presence of Andrew Tully looms larger than ever before. When one of the actors vanishes, it sets the stage for cult ceremonies, violent apparitions, and a final mass killing.
The third entry trades intimacy for scale, opting for elaborate drama over subtle tension. As a result, audience responses were polarizing this time around. While some enjoyed the audacious change in scope and mythology, others felt the eerie subtlety of the first two was lost, and the effects occasionally undermined its creepiness.
Hell House LLC Origins: The Carmichael Manor (2023)
Hell House LLC Origins: The Carmichael Manor shattering expectations in the best way. Billed as a prequel, the story transports viewers to Carmichael Manor, where an online sleuth, her girlfriend, and her brother investigate a 1989 family murder tied to Abaddon. Viewers get to follow their descent through split-screen conference calls, home video reels, and eerie manor corridors where clown mannequins lurk and digital glitches reveal whispers of the past.
The group endures flickering lights, spectral figures, and horrifying home footage of the Carmichael children under occult influence. The response from viewers was largely positive, with many praising its fresh atmosphere, haunting visuals, and seamless tie-in to earlier entries. It's claustrophobic when needed and expansive when it counts, which makes for excellent viewing.
Hell House LLC: Lineage (2025)
Set to hit theaters on August 20, 2025, Hell House LLC: Lineage follows Vanessa Shepherd, who appeared in Hell House LLC III: Lake of Fire, as she unravels a conspiracy that links Abaddon to Carmichael. Fans can look forward to things like ritual altars, ghostly visitations, and more of the elements that made the first entries in the franchise popular. If it nails the blend of mythic closure and real horror, it will deliver a satisfying horror offering.
