Mike T Nothing fabulous here yet still a decent haunted mansion film with a few relatively fresh (for its time) takes on the subject. Neither a gore fest nor a T&A horror film. I still have appreciation for the practical effects made with small budgets. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/13/25 Full Review Audience Member I was young this was one of the movies I seen on HBO. It was late at night. This movie mess with my mind. I was at home alone. I forgot but I was late My mom told me to go into the basement to get the clothes out the dryer. You know what happened I heard a bang then I ran up the stairs Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/25 Full Review Ana B Good Friday night popcorn 🍿 movie. I'd watch it again. As far as haunted houses go, this one's really good. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/23/24 Full Review Blobbo X Positively reeks of '70's movie-of-the-week-ness ---even though having apparently been theatrically released. Dime store level special effects, plot, score,acting, etc. From the era of - and about as scary as - Love Boat. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/07/23 Full Review Carlos I A late 70s ghost house thriller that is often forgotten. Which is strange, as it's a pretty solid Grindhouse flick. Seen it as a kid and loved it, revisited it in my 20s and thought it was pretty lame and didn't age well, but coming back to it again, I had a blast with it. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/23/22 Full Review Joseph R I really enjoyed this movie! Its awesome to see the original ways that each character is killed.
