Pros: Hough and Hume's best work - Bava influence - Matheson gets smart Cons: The cat scene is dated and it detracts from the suspense
If you have fond memories of Watcher in the Woods, I have just the ticket for you. British director John Hough (Watcher in the Woods, The Incubus, American Gothic, the British TV series The Avengers) and...

Pros: Matheson and McDowall. Cons: None.
A recent viewing of the remake of The Haunting led me to a copy/purchase of not only that- but of The Legend of Hell House. Haunted house time, I guess! Legend of Hell House owes a tip of the cap to the original Haunting (the superior version and ...

Pros: Solid atmospheric ghost story. Cons: Slow in spots but made up for in the end.
THE LEGEND OF HELL HOUSE is one of those horror films that rely on atmosphere as opposed to out and ...

Pros: Scary and obscure you'll look cool when you mention this one Cons: If you don't like sideburns, stay away
Legend of Hellhouse is the best seventies haunted house genre piece you can find. I love this film for it's campy dialogue, and it's logical left-brained "Man of Science". Throw in a couple a whacked out psychics, a crazy old house with lots...

Pros: Truly a very scary film... Good character development Cons: Just a touch campy... maybe hard to find
I first saw this film with a date at a Drive-In when it was released summer of '73, for obvious reasons. A few days later I was back with the guys to watch again. I've rented Hell House numerous times since, and now it's part of my video collection. ...

Pros: Can't think of any Cons: Poor dialogue and adaptation
This was bad, bad in the sense that I couldn't keep my mind on the movie.I've seen worse, but I expected more from director John Hough.
It's a haunted house tale, where a dying millionaire puts up a load of money to a physicist to...

Pros: intense, and classic Cons: may be dated or to intense for younger viewers
I normally despise horror films as being either campy or bloodfests. This one scared the pants off of me. It also was one of the first, if not the first, possession films which led to many others. It combines aspects of classic Hitchcock with ideas...

Pros: Makes any true horror fan think twice about those bumps in the night. Cons: The movie contains none of the special effects that today horror movies contain.
I must say that out of the 650 horror movies I have seen when I saw this one it was a keeper for sure. The movie makes you think all the way till the end and without the blood and guts that todays movies have it still made me afraid of the bumps in...
