Slow moving but oddly entertaining, 'House of Death' remains a fun time capsule from the slasher era. Go to Full Review

Sebastian L Dec 24 House of Death, or "Death Screams" which is the original title, feels like somebody wrote a script of the wrong parts of a story, and then somebody shot the wrong parts of that script. Nothing happens for the greater part of the runtime and when it does it's mostly underwhelming. This cast deserves a better movie. See more 07/02/2012 If you really love golden-age slasher films and always crave more, then you will probably enjoy House of Death (as I did). If not, then I will say it is a slow, badly shot, poorly lighted horror film that doesn't have near enough death scenes. Most of the death happens way too late in the film to keep the viewer interested along the way, and the murky lighting robs everything of its intended punch. See more Read all reviews
