This church wants to scare the hell out of you . . . literally. HELL HOUSE is a fly-on-the-wall documentary that follows the Trinity Assembly of God Church in Dallas, TX as they build a haunted house for the Y2K Halloween season. But instead of Draculas and Freddy Kruegers, the church recreates scenes that graphically depict modern-day "evils" such as botched abortions, fatal drunk driving crashes, and drug-induced suicides. Shot on gorgeous 16mm film stock by director George Ratliff and friends, this is an outrageous, enthralling, and poignant vérité window into the creative effort and religious zeal behind this over-the-top event. Newly restored from the original 16mm camera negative, HELL HOUSE is a new favorite obsession for fans of AMERICAN MOVIE and MISTER ORGAN.
