CGiii Comment

A kid with cerebral palsy having a seizure...a sinner!

Harry Potter is evil. Speaking in tongues.

Fanatics and fundamentalists put on a Halloween Hell House - and they make a ton of money by performing scenarios that include: rape, abuse, AIDS, drugs, alcohol, abortion, the occult and everything else that will instantly send you to Hell.

So...a very good subject for a doc - shame it was executed with the skill of a video diarist still in junior school.

There is no investigation - no explanation as to the cult's hierarchy...who brainwashes these deluded and manipulated children?

A wasted opportunity.

The(ir) Blurb...

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.
