Hell House LLC 2 Plot Story Explained

* * * Spoiler Alert – If you haven’t seen the movie yet, turn back now! * * *

The movie starts with Wendy in a documentary where she shares her tragedy. Her son Jackson Mallet broke into the Abaddon Hotel one year ago and never came back, even though he didn’t leave any clue where he had gone. Jackson just vanished.

Later Wendy gets a clip by email which was the recorded footage of Jackson at Abaddon Hotel. In the footage, he was scared of something and said that ‘they’ don’t have any eyes. We see a cult member seen behind him and at that point, the footage cuts with buzzing.

On October 6, 2017, Suzy is presenting a special program on TV about Hell House LLC. Her guests are Arnold, Mitchell, and Brock. Within a short time, we find out all guests have individual opinions about the hotel incidents. Mitchell believes there is something supernatural phenomena at the hotel. Because he still has no clue about Diane (from the first part of the trilogy). On the other hand, Arnold is the opposite. He doesn’t believe in ghosts or spirits; thus, he tries to explain scientifically every single incident. But obviously, there are many ‘but(s)’ which have no explanation. Brock is famous as a psychic medium. He seemed to be more interested in his promotion than in participating in the discussion.

Three members of the journalism team meet Mitchell. They want to go to break down the Abaddon Hotel mystery to increase their website’s popularity. At first, Mitchell doesn’t want to go with them but Jessica – the leader of the team convinces him. She tells Mitchell that if they succeed in revealing the whole truth then the reason for Diane’s disappearance would come to light.

Mitchell reminds them that entering will not be easy as in past days as the patrolling police keep an eye on the hotel to prevent further disappearances. He also informs them several missing reports in the house were not published in the media. Such as a teenager who broke into the hotel & disappeared in the middle of FB live-streaming his (nonsense) adventure. He streamed a creepy event where a cult member was standing in front of him. They both were frozen & standing until the phone battery went down and it turned off.

Another incident was captured on the self-recorded footage with two friends. They pick up a strange woman from the highway. She asked to be dropped off at the Abaddon hotel. When they arrived, the woman runs into the abandoned building’s basement. Two friends followed her and shockingly the lady appeared in a ghostly form. At that moment the camera was cut with buzzing. No trace was found for those two friends. Later when the footage comes to the hand of the authority, they only revealed the ghost was one of the tourists’ ghosts who died back in 2009.

Who Survived in Hell House LLC II?

It seems Jessica Fox makes survival, but if we look closely, we see she didn’t.

After capturing Mitchell, Jessica & Molly Tully appear in the place. The cult members sacrifice Molly and Tully says Jessica would move out from the main door to lure more victims. In exact words, Tully didn’t say Jessica would move out alive. However, in the last scene of the movie, Jessica’s ghostly face is captured on the police camera. Which indicates that Jessica is already dead. She comes to the human world to capture more souls. We already noticed this happens before as Sarah from the first part of the movie, Melissa on the highway.

Lake of Fire: The Gate of Hell Is Open

Jessica’s team entered the hotel and found a Latin chant written on the wall. The meaning of the writing is ‘The gate of Hell is open’.

This is also referred to in the Book of Revelation as the Lake of Fire. Later Tully reveals that the cult successfully opened the Hell gate and it remains open. Thus, they capture victims’ souls and are sent there.

What’s Going on At the Hotel?

Mitchell’s assumption about the Hotel turns correct at the end of the movie when Tully confirms that. The hotel basement is the place where a gate of Hell is open and the members of the satanic cult lure people to come to the hotel.

Satan & cult members select their target a long time after the incident. As an example, we can say about Jackson’s footage. His mother Wendy ensures that she heard piano music in the background of Jackson’s footage. She remembered it because at a young age Jackson once became possessed for a few seconds and then he played that. In possessed form, Jackson only said ‘the Abaddon Hotel’ and become normal. And later after many years, middle-aged Jackson comes to the hotel and died there.

Therefore, the other victims are already targeted by Satan and waiting for the right time. Since the plot story of the film moves as a trilogy from the first part then there are still many unanswered questions remaining. They all are answered in the last part of Hell House 3.

Unseen Man with Alex in The Footage

David found footage in the basement where Alex was dealing with an unseen man. His identity is not revealed in this second part of the movie but it hints that there is a boss behind all these.
