Hell House

In 2001, when it came out, Hell House was probably a pretty cool movie for the religion-adverse. However, before I saw this movie I saw Jesus Camp and it was way better, way more disturbing and way more engaging. The most intriguing part of the people in Hell House is a weird side story that involves some guy’s wife cheating on him and now “she’s not with us anymore.” I assume that doesn’t mean he killed her, but maybe he did. But they really don’t delve into that story enough. Mostly it’s just a bunch of high school kids rehearsing for a play. Only their play is trying to scare you into the arms of Jesus or whatever. At least now I know why my parents never let me go to the Hell House in Colorado so I could watch girls pretend to bleed to death from abortions and get date raped at raves. Anyway. See Jesus Camp.
