Storyline

A look at the "Hell House" performed annually in October by the youth members of Trinity Church (Assemblies of God) in Cedar Hill, Texas (a Dallas suburb) - seen by over 10,000 visitors each year. We see the organization and planning of the event - including auditions, construction, scripting and rehearsals - largely through the involvement of one family: a single father with 4 children (one of whom suffers from cerebral palsy) including his daughter, a cast member.

Quotes

Interviewee: The world is the worst that it has ever been. It's an ugly, evil world and that's a scary thing, but at the same time, it's a good thing because that means that Jesus is close to coming, and he's about to come back for his bride.

The horror of nut job christians

As far as the actual film is concerned this is a pretty well done documentary. I found it to be pretty objective, and the film makers just presented the subject matter and let you the viewer decide. Now as far as the subjects of the film are concerned... Similar to Jesus Camp in the sense that the truly disturbing issues in the film are the people who are involved. These folks are complete nut jobs. They don't know anything about how the world works in their little brainwashed WASP Christian extremist world except for that which is over exaggerated on television. The "rave guy" was friggin' hilarious, everyone will have a good laugh at him. The real horror of Hell House are the whacko's of this community who participate in this nonsense, that was the truly terrifying part. Wow, I'm glad I don't live in that hell hole talk about "Land of the Dead"..."Land of the Brain Dead" more like.
