On its own, this is not a bad movie. In fact, there are some parts that I consider stellar bits of horror. The acting is great. James Liddell is incredible and the scenes where he is alone are my favorites. This isn't for any dislike of the other actors or characters, but because these are the scenes where the movie is allowed to be itself and not info-dumping some lore that - let's be real - isn't worth anyone's time. Cognetti has a keen sense of what makes good found-footage horror and I'm amped to watch more from him, but the Hell House saga is profoundly uninteresting and it's time to let it go. Secrets have been revealed and character backstories have been explored. I don't know what's going on behind the curtain - maybe he has some contractual obligation to Shudder? - but I'm hoping we get something fresh from Cognetti before another Hell House movie.
