Once-loved found footage franchise Hell House LLC seems to be ending on a sour note, as the final movie in the franchise is reportedly bad enough for fans to walk out of an early screening.

One viewer took to Reddit to report that they saw multiple people leave an early screening of Hell House LLC: Lineage, adding, "I have not seen someone walk out of a theatre since Last House on the Left remake." The viewer went on to say they wished they had also walked out of the theatre because of the movie’s "atrocious" dialogue and repeated gags.

Joe Dain, producer and President of Terror Films Releasing, took to the official Hell House LLC Facebook page on August 21, and requested that those who "hated" the movie avoid posting on Rotten Tomatoes. "If you're going to leave a negative review," said Dain, "leave those reviews on IMDB, Letterboxd or Reddit and leave the good reviews for those who liked the film for Rotten Tomatoes." This is certainly an odd move to say the least. However, it looks like Dan’s request has gone in one ear and out the other when it comes to movie critics, as the critical score sits at 27%.

Closing the door on the Hell House LLC franchise that has spanned 10 years and 5 movies, Hell House LLC Lineage follows a woman whose near-death experience draws her to the town of Abaddon, where she starts to connect the terrifying connection to the Abaddon Hotel, the Carmichael Manor, and the murders that have been occurring for decades. The movie welcomes back the original film’s director Stephen Cognetti.
