I mean absolutely no disrespect to the victims that appear in this. I would imagine that they're not exactly happy about this weak doc that hulu decided to release. It is toned down and doesn't expose much of anything to the point that I bet it made some people sign up for it. There's several YouTube videos on this that are far better with little to no budget. If you want to know what this is about go watch the multiple videos Reckless Ben and his friends did. They go through the process and trick him at every turn with changing the NDA Russ makes them sign without him knowing. It gets insane the longer it goes and it makes me question wtf was hulu doing here? There is all this info out here and they decide to release this trash? Shame on them.

This movie gives an accurate portrait of the monster that is Russ McKamey. I was involved with him in 2015-2017ish until his actors all left him in San Diego, ushering the true end of McKamey Manor. This movie shows you the real side of Russ, a man who is not what he makes people think he is when you first meet him.

My experiences with him 100% line up with the manipulative scumbag he is presented as in this film. I'm glad these people, some being my friends, were strong enough to tell their stories, which match hundreds more people's experiences with Russ. It's sad to see Will (W. P.) West represent the "good side" of immersive horror though, as he puts on productions he himself would "never go through" because he was abused as a kid (a bizarre explanation of his that he believes justifies his lack of ethics). You should never put anyone through an experience you yourself aren't willing to test and understand.

Additionally he worked with Russ on a show of his after the actors had left him and when I publicly criticized him, he simply said we should all get along and just work with each other. Sorry, but he is simply not admired by many of us in the community.

Great watch, highly recommended, and be aware that many of the low ratings on here and Rotten Tomatoes are being bombed by Russ' remaining fans. Final sad attempts from a (very literally) brain damaged man with a family who loathes him.

I know this is an odd thing to get hung up on, but the title is misleading and what they keep calling it is misleading. This isn't a "haunt" or a haunted house, at all. It's a torture house, or a torture session. It has absolutely nothing to do with haunting or traditional Halloween things. I don't see how this is an "extreme haunted house" anything. I'm a vet and they didn't call boot camp an extreme haunt. Just odd terminology.

It's an interesting and kind of messed up documentary. It sad to see the effects of it on the people that have actually done it. The psychological effects are rough. It is good to hear about this from people that actually are involved or have been through it. I think they are nuts but to each their own. I hope the people that it showed at the end that still seek this stuff out get some professional help rather than more torture.
