HOUSE ON THE HILL

Cinemavixion Review

Jeff Frentzen's "House on the Hill" plunges viewers into the chilling true-crime narrative of Leonard Lake's 1980s murder spree. The film, starring Naidra Dawn Thomson, Shannon Leade, and Stephen A.F. Day, unflinchingly portrays Lake's horrific modus operandi: targeting, kidnapping, robbing, and ultimately murdering individuals and entire families. The plot, enriched by elements of horror and melodrama, follows the sole survivor, Sonia, as she assists a private investigator in a search that brings her back to the terrifying compound. Her account of being forced to videotape the atrocities provides a harrowing perspective. While the film has garnered a modest IMDb rating of 2.8/10, its commitment to depicting a disturbing true story makes it a notable, albeit grim, watch for those interested in the darker aspects of criminal history.
