Hell House LLC II: The Abaddon Hotel

A major nosedive from the first. This spoonfeeds you the whole lore from the more generic second half of the prequel movie and is sideloaded with non-subtle "scares" and meh acting. Another one for the "less is more" pile.

3 Thoughts After Watching ‘Hell House LLC II: The Abaddon Hotel’: 1. The only redeeming qualities of this film are the expansion of the mythology, which actually has a shred of something compelling at its core… though it may prove difficult for these films to navigate towards it… AND the hotel itself. It’s a solid scary movie setting, and I appreciate that it maintains the setup from the original, when other sequels tend to change up things completely. All in all, this is enough for me, as I’m a sucker for haunted house stories. 2. In order to enjoy this one, you MUST see past the atrocious acting. Yikes, it gets rough. And good golly, miss Molly is the worst. Alex too. 3. HOW does Mitchell recognize Tully in the hotel, but not during the interview? Go ahead and cast actors who could use a little more training, but AT LEAST keep the story intact.
