If it's anything like the book the protagonist will die in the first ten minutes.
Here's a quote from the blurb on the website:
"The first book in the world-renowned Fighting Fantasy series to get the big screen treatment is House of Hell. This is the story of a stranded young couple who seek shelter at an old house in the middle of nowhere. They soon find the house is not all it seems…"
They deviate from the original plot as early as the second sentence as originally "YOU" were a solitary motorist. They've confused it with the Rocky Horror Picture Show.

That's quite a deviation from the standard FF fare. House of Hell was an intersting book to play, but not really representative of the major canon!
Anyway, see what gets produced, it might be a cool film.

Digging about on the website suggests this might be some sort of interactive novelty where the audience votes on the next course of action taken by the main characters.
Option 1 - Die
Option 2 - Have a fight, then die
Option 3 - Die because you went left instead of right 30 decisions ago

"I've got a bad feeling about this..."
Of all things, they could at least do a Titan book. Since that is what most people associate FF with.
I'm morbidly curious to see how many forced nods to the book series we will get.
Perhaps the main character has a keychain with a pair of dice. Of Doom.

Hmm, since House of Hell seems to have been inspired by old horror films, this seems an odd choice.

Creature of Havoc would be an interesting one to adapt providing you could do justice to the central character's gradually increasing self-awareness.

It would be a good way to introduce the audience to the world, since the creature starts off as clueless as the audience would.

Creature of Havoc might be a little impenetrable though. It's not exactly an accessible book. Having said that, it does have plenty of strange and unusual things (I'm looking at you, Darramouss) and a fairly sinister atmosphere.

doomed to failure. No producer would touch this with a ten foot iron rod.

I said "interesting", not "plausible".

Despite CoH being my absolutely favourite FF book, I think that a movie based on it would just not work, simply because the book is huge.
And i'm now almost 100% positive that the House of Hell movie will be one big, nasty bomb.
