terrifying,\u201d Cognetti tells me. \u201cA Body in the Woods is something I wrote right after I finished the edit for Hell House Origins and was in a great horror mindset.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He continues, \u201cI can\u2019t say much about the scripts details other than it\u2019s super spooky and I can\u2019t wait to begin filming, which will hopefully be sometime soon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A traditionally shot narrative horror film, A Body in the Woods will be Cognetti\u2019s biggest effort to date.<\/p>\n<p>Cognetti made his feature debut with Hell House in 2015 and returned to write and direct all four sequels: 2018\u2019s Hell House LLC II: The Abaddon Hotel, 2019\u2019s Hell House LLC III: Lake of Fire, 2023\u2019s Hell House LLC Origins: The Carmichael Manor, and\u00a0Hell House

interesting to see where Cognetti\u2019s career takes him next.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3908420\"
