Rating: ★★★★★ (5/5) **"A Masterclass in Terror – Unforgettable from Start to Finish"** A film by **Terror Films Releasing**, **Hell House LLC: Lineage** breaks free from the franchise’s found‑footage roots—and in doing so, delivers what might just be its most powerful, polished, and emotionally resonant chapter yet. Directed by Stephen Cognetti, this narrative‑style film pummels the senses with claustrophobic dread while untangling decades of blood‑soaked lore. Visually refined but emotionally raw, the film blends a chilling atmosphere with a captivating storyline: Vanessa Shepherd (Elizabeth Vermilyea) is hounded by nightmarish visions and inexplicable murders that connect her fate to the Abaddon Hotel, Carmichael Manor, and an ancestral curse. As secrets unravel across decades, the pieces fall into place in a stunning payoff. Cognetti’s directorial leap into a traditional narrative reveals a wise, thrilling gamble: the scares are bigger, the emotional stakes deeper, and the unfolding mystery more satisfying than ever. This is not just a horror movie—it's an experience. From the first chilling frame to the gut-punch of a final scene, this film grips you by the throat and never lets go. The atmosphere? Suffocating in the best way. The tension? Unrelenting. Every sound, shadow, and silence is weaponized to keep you on edge. And the scares—oh, the scares. No cheap jump scares here. These are the kind that crawl under your skin and nest there for days. The performances are phenomenal. You believe every scream, every tear, every descent into madness. And the direction? Meticulous. Every shot feels like it was pulled straight from a waking nightmare. What truly sets this apart, though, is its depth. This isn't horror for the sake of horror. There's meaning here—grief, guilt, isolation—woven seamlessly into the terror. It's a story that haunts as much as it horrifies. For long‑time fans, **Lineage** is a triumph—a fitting capstone that brings closure while inviting you to revisit earlier entries with fresh eyes. And for newcomers, it stands strong as a supernatural mystery with style, substance, and terror. **~Marcel Aube**
