DNFF – OPENING NIGHT: HELL HOUSE LLC: LINEAGE

AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE

Haunted by visions and recurring nightmares years after a near-death experience, a woman finds herself in familiar, cursed town, unable to break free from its unexplainable hold on her.

Stephen Cognetti’s HELL HOUSE LLC has become embedded in modern horror history, regarded by many as one of the creepiest found footage flicks ever made. Across several sequels he’s delved deep into the twisted history of the Abaddon Hotel and Carmichael Manor, but now – finally in the cinema - he wraps up the fabric of his terrifying nightmare, or does he? While LINEAGE cleverly references the previous films, it actually works disturbingly well as a stand-alone freak-out, and, boy, does it get freaky. Those three clowns are back to keep you from ever sleeping soundly again.

“Surpasses every expectation – and then some. ****” – B-Sides & Badlands

“A bold change for this beloved horror franchise, staying true to its roots even as it delivers exciting new scares, lore, and shocking twists. 8/10” – The Blogging Banshee
