Tom Milne Time Out 06/24/2006
Three of the episodes are rough-and-ready but vigorous Grand Guignol fun. Go to Full Review

2.5/5
The latter two stories, though necessarily too short and too schematic, generate some interest, and humor, and even a bit of characterization. Go to Full Review

Robert Bloch, the author of Psycho, uses the framework of a haunted house to connect four stories involving (as the original tagline blared) "Vampires! Voodoo! Vixens! Victims!" Go to Full Review
Tom Beasley VultureHound 08/16/2020
4/5
The peak of 1970s horror flamboyance, dripping in camp and executing Bloch's narrative flourishes with the sort of ludicrous excess that characterises the best of Amicus. Go to Full Review
Rob Aldam Backseat Mafia 07/24/2019
A fun and frightening omnibus. Go to Full Review
Brian Collins Birth.Movies.Death. 05/17/2018
What I liked most about this last segment is how it directly tied into the wraparounds, as opposed to being "just another story". Go to Full Review

Maksim S @MaksimusMovies Nov 22 Atmospheric but Uneven. The House That Dripped Blood is a stylish and clever anthology with great atmosphere and strong performances, especially from Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing. The stories range from eerie to slightly camp, and while not all of them land, the film’s gothic charm and thoughtful approach to horror keep it engaging. Imperfect, but definitely worth a watch for fans of classic British horror. See more Welll A @Azevader88 Oct 10 Música atmosférica, segmentos irregulares como em toda antologia. A dublagem clássica da versão que assisti no YouTube foi um dos maiores atrativos. A primeira história, "Assassinato por escrito", é bem creepy e a conclusão surpreendeu; "Museu de cera" conta com a presença ilustre de Peter Cushing, contudo foi o que menos agradou. Previsível, lenta e desinteressante; "Doces para um doce", com Christopher Lee, é o melhor episódio, com um mistério macabro e desfecho idem; O último causo, "O Manto", no qual um ator-estrela é transformado em vampiro ao usar uma capa mágica, parece ter sido pensado para satirizar o papel icônico de Lee, mas como o astro escolheu a outra história mais bem escrita, o papel do ficou nas mãos de Jon Pertwee. O tom de chanchada parece de uma produção nacional daquela década, mas o argumento é muito básico, não curti. Gostei de ter visto, mas não mudou em nada minha vida. See more Chris H Jun 30 This is OK if you know what to expect. Think Hammer Horror, with a few of the usual actors. Four stories, the third, at least, with a real chill to it and the others the sort of campy stuff common to the genre. Written by famous horror/crime author Robert Bloch, which is very apt. See more Rosana B Dec 28 É um filme de terror antológico britânico de 1971, quatro contos maravilhosamente relatados e sombrios sobre a casa que pingava sangue (infelizmente não na sua literalidade), o filme inicialmente seria um terror cômico, o produtor furioso, exigiu que fosse apenas terror, muitas cenas já filmadas foram cortadas, talvez isso deva ter prejudicado um pouco o filme, o que não o faz perder o brilho do suspense, e a criatividade e execução das cenas deliciosa sombrias e geladas… See more matthew d Dec 21 Wasn't too bad, great tales from the darkside/Friday the 13th feel See more Horror fan 4 12/01/2024 4 short stories that'll leave you wanting more!!
