Mike T Apr 13 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. See more Feb 26 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 See more Ana B 03/23/2024 Good Friday night popcorn 🍿 movie. I'd watch it again. As far as haunted houses go, this one's really good. See more Blobbo X @Blobbo 06/07/2023 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. See more Carlos I 11/23/2022 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. See more Joseph R 09/08/2022 I really enjoyed this movie! Its awesome to see the original ways that each character is killed. See more Read all reviews
