‘Hell House LLC’ Prequel Begins Filming

Back in 2015, the found footage indie horror Hell House LLC took the genre by storm. Two sequels followed, Hell House LLC: The Abaddon Hotel and Hell House LLC: Lake of Fire.

Writer-Director Jalmari Helander Talks Kills, Explosions, And The Making Of ‘SISU’ In An Interview

I can not express how much I love the new action-thriller SISU from writer-director Jalmari Helander, so when I got the opportunity to talk with Helander about his incredible, bloody, and brutal film, I was over the moon! In fact, I had a bit of a “fangirl moment.” SISU is set in 1944, “during the last desperate days of WWII, a solitary prospector (Jorma Tommila) crosses paths with Nazis on a scorched-earth retreat in northern Finland. When the Nazis steal his gold, they quickly discover that they have just tangled with no ordinary miner. While there is no direct translation for the Finnish word “sisu,” this legendary ex-commando will embody what sisu means: a white-knuckled form of courage and unimaginable determination in the face of overwhelming odds. And no matter what the Nazis throw at him, the one-person death squad will go to outrageous lengths to get his gold back – even if it means killing every last Nazi in
