Stephen Cognetti has written and directed every entry in the Hell House LLC found footage horror franchise, which began in 2015 and currently consists of Hell House LLC, Hell House LLC II: The Abaddon Hotel, Hell House LLC III: Lake of Fire, and the recently released Hell House LLC Origins: The Carmichael Manor. In an interview with Bloody Disgusting last year, Cognetti said that while he wants to make more Hell House movies, he’s hoping to secure higher budgets and move away about from the found footage style for future installments… But now that a new entry in the Hell House franchise, Hell House LLC: Lineage, has started filming, Cognetti has said that this one might be the final chapter for this series.

Cognetti posted on X, “Here we go! Day one of what will likely be the last but also the scariest Hell House!“

Here we go! Day one...

“It’s a punk Marvel movie.” So says director Tony Kaye about his latest film, The Trainer, one of the more intriguing films to world premiere this year at the Rome Film Festival (October 16-27).

The Trainer centres on Jack Flex, a penniless fitness expert who takes a maniacal swing at fame and fortune by trying to sell the Heavy Hat, an obviously dangerous fitness gadget, on his mum’s favourite home shopping channel.

Flex is played by Vito Schnabel who also produced and co-wrote the film. An art dealer as well as a filmmaker, Schnabel made a brief appearance...

Summer is drawing to a close, which can mean only one thing: spooky season is almost upon us. It's the most wonderful time of the year! While some folks may limit their Halloween festivities to October, I'm a firm believer that September is the time to start getting into the spirit of the season. Look, if people can start celebrating Christmas in November, there's no reason we can't do some similar early acknowledgement of Halloween, that's all I'm saying. And while I think any time of year is the right time for scary movies, there's something extra special about watching scary movies in the midst of spooky season. And it's an added bonus if the movies in question are set on or around Halloween-time.

Which is why whenever Halloween season rolls around, I like to revisit Stephen Cognetti's "Hell House LLC" franchise. Not all of these movies are good,...

Hell House LLC is the little horror movie that could, a gift that just keeps on giving. First shown at 2015’s Telluride Horror Show, it originally seemed like just another low-budget independent film with no known actors attached. It was written and directed by Stephen Cognetti, who was also an unknown quantity.

But, slowly and surely, Hell House LLC began to hit a sweet spot with horror fans, including yours truly. Back in 2016 or so, I was scrolling through the free horror movies on Prime, and the unusually positive reviews caught my eye, so I decided to give it a shot. And, boy was I glad I did! We seasoned horror fans know that it’s rare to find a film that genuinely creeps us out – heck, I can count on one hand all of the horror movies in the past ten years that have achieved that honor with me.

Stephen Cognetti has written and directed every entry in the Hell House LLC found footage horror franchise, which began in 2015 and currently consists of Hell House LLC, Hell House LLC II: The Abaddon Hotel, Hell House LLC III: Lake of Fire, and the recently released Hell House LLC Origins: The Carmichael Manor. In an interview with Bloody Disgusting last year, Cognetti said he wants to make more Hell House movies, but he’s hoping to secure higher budgets and move away about from the found footage style for future installments… Now Terror Films has released a teaser trailer for the next entry in the Hell House franchise, Hell House LLC: Lineage (you can watch the teaser in the embed above), which is expected to reach the Shudder streaming service in October of 2025. There’s not much to go on just yet, so we’ll have to wait and see what...

Stephen Cognetti, the writer-director behind the cult classic horror movie franchise Hell House LLC, has signed with Anonymous Content for representation.

Cognetti’s fourth installment, The Carmichael Manor, along with his previous entries in the franchise, are amongst the top streamed films of all time on Shudder.

The franchise kicked off with 2015’s Hell House LLC, which quickly gained a following as one of the best of the found-footage space. The film follows a documentary crew investigating a haunted house attraction called “Abaddon Hotel,” where a tragedy occurred during its opening night.

The popularity of the original film paved the way for the expansion of the franchise with the sequels The Abaddon Hotel and Lake of Fire. With the support of Terror Films and Shudder, the latest installment Hell House LLC Origins: The Carmichael Manor was released on Halloween 2023 exclusively on Shudder after debuting at the Telluride Horror Show. Rather...

Stephen Cognetti has written and directed every entry in the Hell House LLC franchise, which began in 2015 and currently consists of Hell House LLC, Hell House LLC II: The Abaddon Hotel, Hell House LLC III: Lake of Fire, and the recently released Hell House LLC Origins: The Carmichael Manor. While doing the press rounds for The Carmichael Manor, Cognetti talked to Bloody Disgusting about his hopes for future installments, saying he has ideas that would require higher budgets and that he would like to move away from the found footage style all of the films have been shot in so far.

Cognetti said, “I make references to this event in a few of the movies, including this one, but also the third one as well is what happened at the Rockland County Fair, back in the day. That’s something I always talk about, this event, and never really making it.

The gate to hell may be closed, but that doesn’t mean the “Hell House” franchise is over. The fan-favorite indie found footage horror franchise is back with a new installment that takes us back into the world of Stephen Cognetti’s surprisingly complex lore.

Fittingly, “Hell House LLC Origins: The Carmichael Manor” is both a sequel and an origin story that fills in the blanks on some unanswered questions from the Abaddon Hotel while introducing a new haunting ground in the Carmichael Manor.

The film debuts on Oct. 30, just in time for Halloween, and we’ve got a handy guide on how to watch it.

Where is “The Carmichael Manor” streaming?

“Hell House LLC: The Carmichael Manor” will stream exclusively on Shudder beginning Monday, Oct. 30.

Will it play in theaters?

Unfortunately, unless you caught it at Telluride or the IFC Center’s “Shudder Showcase,” you probably won’t be...

It is exciting to be alive in the 21st century in part because it's when the "Hell House LLC" movies started coming out. I didn't say how big a part.

Starting with 2015's "Hell House LLC" and extending now through four films, writer-director Stephen Cognetti has achieved a rare thing worth celebrating: the creation of an original film franchise that gained word-of-mouth recognition without studio support. A close peer in this space would be "Terrifier," the series of ultra-bloody killer clown films writer-director Damien Leone has been piloting into the world since the 2008 short "The 9th Circle." "Hell House" hasn't been going for quite as long and consists of haunted house films, not slashers. But it's another difference between the franchises that's most salient to raise for this discussion of "Hell House's" latest: the "Terrifier" movies have only been getting better, while the "Hell House" films have gotten worse.

The film will debut as an official selection at the 14th annual Telluride Horror Show, from October 13th to 15th, followed by its exclusive streaming debut on Shudder on October 30.

Last year, Terror Films announced that writer/director Stephen Cognetti would be continuing his found footage Hell House LLC franchise with Hell House LLC Origins: The Carmichael Manor – and earlier this month, we learned that Hell House LLC Origins: The Carmichael Manor is scheduled to begin streaming on both Shudder and AMC+ on Monday, October 30th. Before we reach that date, the film will also be screening at the 14th annual Telluride Horror Show, which will be running from October 13th to 15th. With those dates right around the corner, the trailer for Hell House LLC Origins: The Carmichael Manor has arrived online, and you can check it out in the embed above.

Terror Films refers to Hell House LLC Origins: The Carmichael Manor as “the first chapter of what will become known as the Hell House LLC Origin Films”. This one is set in 2021 and will show what happens...

Stephen Cognetti’s found footage film Hell House LLC has built up quite a fan following in the years since its release, with that original film spawning two sequels in more recent years.

Now, the trilogy has returned to Screambox, with Hell House LLC and its sequels Hell House LLC II: The Abaddon Hotel and Hell House LLC III: Lake of Fire now streaming on the Bloody Disgusting-powered service.

You can also watch the Director’s Cut of the now cult classic Hell House LLC as well!

The spooky documentary-style film, set in a haunted house attraction over Halloween, takes place five years after the opening night of Hell House LLC, a haunted house attraction that resulted in 15 unexplained deaths. That first film follows a documentary crew that sets out for answers alongside a surviving employee and terrifying footage that sheds light on what happened that ill-fated night.

1996 was, generally speaking, not a stellar year for film. The year's blockbusters were limp, containing Roland Emmerich's gloriously silly "Independence Day," Michael Bay's insufferable "The Rock," the undeniably thin "Twister," and the weirdly cold "Mission: Impossible." 1996 was also the year we had to squint and pretend that Cameron Crowe hadn't lost his mojo with "Jerry Maguire," as well as the year MTV convinced us that the terrible "Romeo + Juliet" was a good movie. On top of all that, 1996 saw the execrable "Space Jam" inflict its unholy existence upon the world. 

(Warning: Your opinions on these films may differ from this writer's. Moving right along...)

But there were a few high points, too. Kenneth Branagh's "Hamlet" may be one of the best Shakespeare-to-film adaptations ever made, while Tim Burton's "Mars Attacks!" was a breath of fresh, zany air. Olivier Assayas' "Irma Vep" is a strange film experiment,...

Exclusive: Vito Schnabel (Before Night Falls), Julia Fox (Uncut Gems) and Steven Van Zandt (The Sopranos) have signed on to star in the dark comedy The Trainer, which Tony Kaye (American History X) is directing from a script by Schnabel and Jeff Solomon.

In development for nearly a decade, The Trainer is based on an original story by Schnabel. The film unfolding over eight days of sleep-deprived chaos follows Jack (Schnabel), a down-on-his-luck fitness expert living with his mother in Los Angeles, who takes a maniacal swing at fame and fortune, trying to realize his version of the American dream.

Schnabel, Kaye and Jeremy Steckler are producing, with George Paaswell on board to exec produce. Production will kick off in Los Angeles in early April.

“The idea of the film came into my head about ten years...

“American History X” filmmaker Tony Kaye hasn’t directed a feature film since 2011’s “Detachment” starring Adrien Brody, but he’s back with “African History Y” and Djimon Hounsou will star.

In a statement provided to Deadline, Kaye said: “Djimon and I met just after I did ‘American History X.’ It was a cathartic meeting, and I knew immediately that he was an actor that I had to work with. The material had to be right, and thank God, now we have a project to work together on. The color cameras inside my head are ready to go to work in Africa.”

Hounsou added: “’African History Y’ could not have come at a better time as I explore bringing more extraordinary African stories to the world. I’m excited to be working with Tony, and it’s somewhat preordained that he and I have come full circle to work with each other.

Exclusive: British filmmaker Tony Kaye has boarded the civil rights feature drama Civil.

Written by Austin Wright and Adam Knox, Civil follows two young men from opposite sides of the racial divide in the months leading up to the movement in 1955, who discover the real meaning of equality, through the ashes of tragedy.

Tina Treadwell, former VP of Disney Channel and current president of Treadwell Entertainment Group, is producing with Dru Davis who recently produced the Netflix Aaron Sorkin feature The Trial of the Chicago 7, as well as Kim Coleman, Joshua Uduma, Wright and Knox. Civil is a Treadwell Entertainment Group & Artistic Fortune Entertainment. The movie is planning to shoot early next year. Kaye is a six-time Grammy nominated music video director whose credits include Soul Asylum’s “Runaway Train”, Red Hot Chili Peppers’ “Dani California”, Roger Waters’ “What God Wants” and “Help Me” as well as Johnny Cash...

Exclusive: The Creepshow TV series is setting records for AMC’s Shudder. Since its September 26 premiere, 54% of all members on Shudder’s direct-to-consumer platforms have viewed an episode of the anthology series based on the 1982 Stephen King and George Romero film, according to the premium streaming service.

Of all the Eighties bands that took hardcore punk as their launching pad, no one got further (or weirder) faster than guitar-twisting stoner gods the Meat Puppets. Even when the Arizona trio was recording for Black Flag’s record label and thrashing out one-minute songs at atomic speed, their music always had a glazed sense of amiably demented wonder. It’s a sound that grew deeper and druggier as they explored Sun Belt sprawl on their psychedelic 1984 masterwork II and the post-punk pastoralism of 1985’s insanely idyllic Up on the Sun.

Filmmaker Tony Kaye has always taken an incendiary approach to exposing the nation’s most disturbing problems, from the traumatizing act of anti-Semitism that opened “American History X” to his eye-opening abortion rights documentary “Lake of Fire.” While Kaye has maintained a lower profile in recent years, he continued to churn out a range of multimedia work, and the looming midterm elections have given him the opportunity to deliver bite-sized call to action.

Kaye’s new minute-long advertisement has provided exclusively to IndieWire and is currently being shared by a handful of volunteers canvassing in the state. It features Deven McNair, a professional stuntwoman, being set on fire while delivering an angry call to action. “This year, it’s more than an election. It’s an emergency,” she says. “Things are getting out of control. Republicans are giving billionaires a trillion-dollar tax cut.”

She also calls out the threats to “healthcare,...

Like any abortion documentary worth the time to watch, Ricki Stern and Anne Sundberg’s “Reversing Roe” doesn’t explicitly argue for or against a woman’s right to choose. And while there’s little doubt that Stern and Sundberg could make a persuasive case for reproductive rights, as several interview subjects do, it’s only so valuable to preach to the choir — especially when a film is released into the apolitical cyberspace of Netflix rather than a handful of arthouse theaters in America’s largest and most liberal cities.

Ultimately, “Reversing Roe” is a productive contribution to its ever-growing genre because it sharply dissects the process by which abortion soured from a private medical issue to a public political one. If witnessing the cynical opportunism with which Jerry Falwell stirred evangelical Christians into a Republican movement, or watching the Operation Truth videos in which fundamentalist zealots try to impose their religious beliefs,...
