'Hell House LLC II: The Abaddon Hotel' is my second Stephen Cognetti film, the first being 'Hell House LLC', and already I'm beginning to see some trends in his film-making - some positive, some not so. He seems to really struggle with the beginnings of his films and then tends to find his way as it goes along. Also he writes some terrible dialogue, especially in the non-horror scenes. But what saves all this and makes his films extremely watchable is that he seems to be a master at directing horror. This house/hotel setting that he has created for these films is truly terrifying. Everything about it just works. The creatures moving about inside it, the maze-like feel it has and the feeling of overwhelming dread when a character is in there are just terrific. Not often do individual scare moments get me but this film has one that really caught me off-guard and had my heart leaping. I didn't see it coming and combine that with the imagery and I'm not afraid to say it got me. If Cognetti can either fix his dialogue and the clunky non-horror scenes he writes, or get a script-doctor in to do it for him and just let him focus on the horror side of things, then he has a big future ahead of him. He has created something special with The Abandon Hotel and I very much look forward to checking out the third installment now.

Not as good as the first one, but it still kept me entertained throughout and is way better than most sequels. It's also better then 80% found footage movies. Overall i would recommend watching it and if the third one comes out i'll definately be watching.

I really liked the first movie and was excited for the sequel, but it went off the rails. The parts that were left to your imagination in the first work best if you don't watch this to fill in the gaps. This was a fail IMO, especially the end. Bummer.....

This one was a decent sequel, however it wasn't nearly as terrifying as the first Hell House. I did enjoy this one and do recommend it

This is a perfect example of an unwarranted sequel leaving behind a bitter taste in one's mouth. The first Hell House wasn't exactly original: there are hundreds of found footage, paranormal films on the market. What separated it was the execution, the build, the unsettling creepiness and the intense, abrupt ending. The feel of the sequel is filmmaker's going to the well again hoping for a cash cow, but not having enough content to fill time, so they insert needles explanatory angles that ruin the mystique of the first film. Not a terrible film, mind you. Just don't go into watching Hell House LLC 2 with an expectation of it being comparable to the first.

It's not as good as the first He'll House but it is worth the watch. It's not as bad as a lot of other popular horror movie sequels, i.e the houses october built. It is a decent watch on a night with nothing else on. You can find it on shudder right now.
