The new HELL HOUSE LLC installment on Shudder is potentially the best of the series. Certainly the best since the first one. Genuinely pretty unnerving at a few points. If you've enjoyed any of the previous movies, definitely check this one out.
I think the director should one day adapt the (sorta sequel) comic “Trick r Treat: Days of the Dead” into a full fledged movie; it’s pretty good and I think it’s actually better than the film.We continued our annual tradition of watching Trick r Treat on Halloween night! Still one of my all time favorites.
It definitely feels more forced than it should, but on the other hand, I know what I'm getting into with found footage, so I'm generally willing to go along with it even if they don't completely justify why they keep filming.I enjoyed it but it really, REALLY suffers greatly from being too forced as a found footage film. It has way too many moments of outright stupidity and 'yeah, why would you continue filming there?' in it. It's a super hard thin line to balance on and I think they fell this time.

The scares are fun and the tension is the best since the original but I still don't think we've come close to replicating the magic of the first Hell House LLC.
Honestly, I'm slightly over he huge world of lore they keep constructing. My eyeballs almost rolled out of my head when we started laying it on super thick towards the end and how there's almost assuredly more movies in the Hell House series coming. I would like to see the writer/director tackle new ground rather than stretch and flatten this one out, personally.
it's not willing to commit to the swashbuckling catholic superheroes that the conjuring films make the warrens out to be. it either needs to be more sleuthy and globe trotty (as you mentioned) or more intimate and scary (like Annabelle Creation).It's got some of that Akela madness that made M3gan and Malignant so much fun but not nearly enough to justify its existence. Should've went weirder with the Indiana Jones stuff.
Man, I'm just glad to have slashers again. This must've been what it was like when Gladiator came out and people remembered that Roman epics were cool.THANKSGIVING is, shockingly, a quite good, fun slasher! A terrific opening setpiece, several excellent kills, solid characters, and a tone that lets you know you can sit back and enjoy the mayhem. I don't think the killer reveal works, but other than that, it's exactly what a solid and entertaining slasher should be.
Probably Eli Roth's best film to date (depending on your taste, that might not be saying much, but still!).
