Lilith's Hell (2017) User Reviews

Average at about everything it does

The film sets out to achieve something unique and contribute something new to the FLOODED found footage punching bag of a genre..

It didn't. The main character was really unlikable, which is almost always a huge con for a found footage movie. He was hyper pretentious and acting in the exact type of movie he describes hating as a character? Bit if an ironic paradigm.

The plot was very generic and unoriginal, with the exception of the delusion that they wanted to pay tribute to an original piece, Cannibal Holocaust. It did the whole "generic low budget horror movie" thing relatively well. The effects were okay, the gore was reasonable, and the tension/jump scares were pretty standard and effective honestly. The acting was kind of hit and miss, seemingly pushed/tacky at points.

5/10 overall. If your looking a typical horror movie to watch with some friends this could be a decent option. Especially if you enjoy regular/typical Paranormal Activity like movies. If your looking for something worthy of a Cannibal Holocaust tribute this probably isn't it.

Way better than I thought it'd be!

Lilith's Helli would like you to know that Ruggero Deodato invented the found footage film.

Ryan (Marcus J. Cotterell) is a film director and Ruggero Deodato superfan who has come to Rome to work with Marco (Vincenzo Petrarolo, who also directed this) and Alberto (Federico Palmieri). He doesn't want to make a horror movie, but yeah, he kind of wants to make a horror movie

Maybe things will get better when Michelle (Manuela Stanciu) and the other actresses arrive, right?

Of course, Marco and Alberto are more into sleeping with the girls than making a movie and when something overtakes Michelle, she ends up biting off more than Alberto had in mind. This movie should teach you not to hire actresses off the internet, ply them with drugs and then treat them as if they were in a Rocco Siffredi movie when a demonic force is nearby. Shouldn't you know that already?

As the rest of the crew - which also includes makeup artist Sara (Joelle Rigollet, Inside) - wakes up to screams in the middle of the night, they soon learn that this home and this movie was probably no accident. Some dark fate awaits everyone.

I mean, the house has a secret ritual chamber for Lilith, who was cast from Eden because she would not follow Adam. And now, she wants to return to our world. So yeah - a feminist demon attacking the crew of a Ruggero Deodato movie shot in found footage style, but it looks way better than it should and despite the bad acting from much of the male cast, I still found myself enjoying it, particularly the ending where despite the real dead bodies - I mean, within the movie and with Italian movies you really do need to explain that - Deodato arrives and tells the cameras to shoot everything.

If it didn't have so much to do with Deodato, I doubt I'd have even seen this film, so the stunt casting is a success. Luckily, the movie for the most part - particularly the occult reveal - worked enough to keep me for the entire running time.

Just No!

I really tried to watch this whole movie but about 1:12:53 into it I could not take anymore scratchy annoying cut out. The only thing scary about this movie was the loud sounds that caught you off guard at times. Other than that this movie was an exorcist wanna be with 0 good acting ability to hold it's weight. I love found footage movies but this one was a hot mess! My favorites are still Jeruzalem, Inner Demon's, and The Atticus Institute.
