video 1.0 VHX https://www.vhx.tv/ Hell House http://hellhouse.vhx.tv The award-winning, must-see documentary by director George Ratliff. Hell Houses are a distinctly American phenomenon which began in 1990 just outside of Dallas, Texas at the Trinity Assembly of God Church. The original Hell House was conceived as a modern-day fire-and-brimstone sermon. Today, this religious ceremony of sorts is replete with actors, extensive lighting equipment and full audio-visual tech crews. Inside the Hell House, tour guides dressed as demons take visitors from room to room to view depictions of school massacres, date rape, AIDS-related deaths, fatal drunk driving crashes, and botched abortions. Hell Houses have now spread to hundreds of churches worldwide. With full access to the behind-the-scenes action, HELL HOUSE follows the process from the first script meeting until the last of the 10,000 visitors passes through the Hell House doors. The movie gives a verite window into the whole process of creating this over-the-top sermon, while showing an intimate portrait of the people who fervently believe its message. The film also features a score by Bubba and Matthew Kadane, formerly of the band Bedhead. Despite widely available digital video cameras, Hell House was shot on 16mm film. <iframe src="https://embed.vhx.tv/packages/1091" width="1280" height="720" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> 1280 720 https://vhx.imgix.net/hellhouse/assets/8b81d359-b764-47e1-a56e-1c73c7cf1852/player_thumbnail.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&fit=crop&h=360&q=70&w=640 640 360
