Hell House LLC

Stephen Cognetti's 2015 micro-budget film follows a haunted house attraction crew setting up in an abandoned hotel with a dark history. The clown mannequins that move between cuts are unsettling enough, but the basement footage — where something clearly responds to the crew's presence — crosses from fiction into something that feels genuinely wrong. It's the rare found footage film where the "why are they still filming?" question has a satisfying answer: they're professionals documenting their work.
