Horror House (1969)
4/10
"They were obviously a strange bunch"
28 March 2020
Warning: Spoilers
About thirty minutes into the film a character says "I'm not scared, I'm bored" and one thought, yes so am I. It doesn't really pick up from there and apart from a couple of gory killings and good house locations it was a slog to sit through. Apparently the film was re-edited and re-shot in parts and that is evident. Moreover the haunted house wasn't haunted and the red herrings were completely obvious as such. The killer's motive was not really clear and came out of nowhere.

It gets a couple of points for good cinematography from Jack Atcheler and the perky performance from pretty Carol Dilworth. The costumes I suppose were cool in 1969 but like all things cool it soon looks outdated if not hilarious. So, no haunted house, no horror. So no entertainment.
