One of my favorite haunted house movies, along with the brilliant "The Haunting," based on Shirley Jackson's "The Haunting of Hill House." This movie is based on Richard Matheson's "Hell House," which is gripping. The acting is first rate, especially Pamela Franklin who played Flora in "The Innocents" which is a beautifully filmed version of "The Turn of the Screw." I frequently return to these movies because good frightening films are hard to come by. And I need my thrills and chills without blood and gore and teenagers going into haunted house doing insane things to get themselves killed.

One of the best haunted house film, very atmospheric. A haunting soundtrack, top notch casting. Always fun seeing Roddy Mcdowall and the always reliable Pamela Franklin. Loved the book too from Richard Matheson (I Am A Legend).

I had high expectations which were only half met. Roddy McDowall is always good, but the whole premise fell a bit flat.

Creepy atmosphere. Some cheesy scenes, but nice performances overall.

Fairly cheesy but not without its charms.

Although a gloomy atmosphere prevails throughout the film, it fails somewhat to be scary. It promises much but in the end it fails to deliver anything memorable and ultimately is just another ‘haunted house' movie. Some of the acting is wooden and no-one really stands out.

cult horror van een wetenschaper die het kwaad wil bannen uit een spookhuis maar dat huis laat haar zo maar niet doen en de demonen vechten terug. film met onzichtbare geesten met goede speciale effecten en donkere sfeer. en goede cast

I really enjoyed the Haunted House movie for the story and the suspense as the investigators try to determine why the house is haunted and how to cease the hauntings. Reminds me a lot of Call of Cthulhu.

While it has a Gothic Atmosphere, Great Cast and Solid Direction it's a story that you're seen multiple times

The house in this movie is definitely a great looking haunted house. One can't get much better than the look and atmosphere the film has. It never really delivers the punch i was looking for. I thought the ending was a touch of a letdown, but its worth a watch.

o god yes great movie i have it a so long time in my movie colection

I thought this was a great movie. It was fun!!!

Now for those who truly enjoy a dark, sinister and thoroughly enjoyable horror move, this one is a must. This movie should be watched at night in the dark. It is very atmospheric and watching in the dark will enhance that. You won't find the amount of gore you find in 80s slasher films but to me that is a plus. A lamebrain teen getting hacked into pieces by a masked killer is simply not scary. Extremely creepy and a great story highlighted with good performances. All horror fans should see this movie at least once. I have seen it a dozen times at least and it never gets old.

It's a good movie even after nearly 50 years. But I'd say it would've been amazing to watch when it first came out. It used a number of techniques to deliver it's scares which I'm guessing were much more successful back then than they are now. The cinematography is great, as the house truly looks like it's haunted. The acting was very good too. I may not have given it a high score but it's still a classic that I would recommend for horror fans... just don't go into expecting The Exorcist.

This is right up there with the Exorcist as one of the best horror movies of all time. Expertly filmed with a super creepy score. One of Roddy McDowel's best performances. Best watched with the lights out and the sound up.

This stands as one of my absolute favourite haunted house films, yet I can't truly justify this from a critical point of view, as it has such serious flaws. Visually and sonically it's an early '70s Brit horror treat. Delia Derbyshire and Brian Hodgson's score is mesmeric and murky, propulsive, lurking, prowling, insidious and sinuous. In terms of hammy ensemble acting the film inhabits a similar creaky, even stuffy, and yes, cosy, terrain to Agatha Christie adaptations of that time. I adore Pamela Franklin in this one (and in anything). She is perfectly cast as the haughty, pious, barely contained young English medium Florence Tanner sublimating her desire and casting precocious lightning glances and psychokinetic thunderbolts at all and sundry. The fixation on her as a sexualized victim is quite creepy (and not, I think, in a good way) in the bedroom scenes. The book though goes much further in a disturbing way. The characters are quite 2d and mechanical in their interactions. Characterisation is far less complex than say, Eleanor, Dr Markway or Theo in The Haunting. This is a good one to see when you're young (early teens, I mean) open to escaping into pure atmosphere above plot, and it's shown on late night 온라인카지노추천; although a foggy autumn afternoon would also serve it well. Films like this primed me to be bowled over by classic Argento, I suspect. Fantastic sets, lighting, art direction, a wonderfully edited and ambitious early dinner table scene. But there is overblown dialogue pitched too shrill/ too soon, scenery chewing to the point of camp hilarity, more than one ridiculous cat scene (in fact the black cat is sorely misused as horror trope rather than beloved familiar in this film. Boo; hiss!) and oh my, what a truly absurd, bathetic denouement. I still love and recommend it.

it's greate film

A spooky haunted house of horror a true horror cult film classic.

i mean, it's what you'd expect a horror movie from the 70's to be like. terrible, over-dramatic acting & nothing really happens, haha. but i'm kind of surprised the ratings are so low, actually -- i think this is a pretty typical representation of the genre for that decade; if it were the 70's now i'd probably rate it higher.

Great cast with comparable chemistry. A nice little trip into the macabre..
