Movie Marathon (Part 3)

Movies with a scene in an abandoned house (the movie can be set there, or just have a single scene there; it can be a long-abandoned, decrepit house, or a recently, hurriedly abandoned one, or whatever, just ABANDONED)

  1. The Blair Witch Project
  2. Hell House LLC

At first glance it’s just another “found footage” mockumentary ala The Blair Witch Project, but I found it wholly original and actually gave me a good scare without relying on jump-scare gotcha scenes (except for the last scene, which was kinda cheap).

In the film’s final scene, Rey visits the farmstead on Tatooine where Luke had grown up, and which had sat abandoned since the murder of Owen and Beru, and Luke’s departure, 35 years earlier.

I’m not picky about the definition of “house.”

Good one.
