The first Hell House LLC was really good. Yeah, there were things left unanswered, there were questions ... but that's fine. In horror, not everything needs an answer.
This one definitely feels like it has a lower budget than the last one, even if they were the same. I don't know, this definitely felt like a made-for-TV deal, even for a FF horror film.
Anyway, there were too many things that were just implausible here to work. They were trying too hard, I think, to expand the plot and the "terror" of the Abaddon Hotel by making it bigger than it needed to be.
The scare factor just wasn't there in this film. Yeah, there were some creepy moments, but on the whole, this one flopped for me. Like the Abaddon Hotel--and the first film--some things are just better left alone.
