Pros: Better than The Haunted (although it did not star Catherine Zeta-Jones) Cons: Ends rather abruptly
The House on Haunted Hill does not even take place inside a house! It's in an old refurbished (some parts of it, at least) mental asylum. Also, you are led to believe that nobody has been in the basement since 1931, although there are plenty of...
Pros: Some reasonably good performances, good special effects and a couple of good twists on a very well worn horror plotline. Cons: Big con is that James Marsters receives a criminally short period of time on screen.
Okay, so maybe it's not yawn-worthy, but it made for a good title, right? ;-)
The Plot.
House on Haunted Hill centres around a group of young party-goers, invited to spend the night at the house from the title. As is...
Pros: Good remake, some original concepts, Chris Kattan Cons: It seems the budget ran out about two thirds of the way through the movie.
When a new horror movie comes out in theaters, I'm usually one of the first in line to see them - no matter how good or bad they may appear to be. The remake of the 1958 version of House on Haunted Hill definitely looked like a winner to me in...
Pros: Some genuine scares and nice DVD extras Cons: The script could have done with an enormous overhaul
In one scene in House on Haunted Hill, one of the guests invited to the creepy party in an abandoned mental institution wanders about the dark hallways, looking through her video camera at the desolate rooms throughout the "House". At the end of...
Pros: Opening, Kattan, Janssen, Rush Cons: Complicated story, FX, other cast, it's very existence
I'm in awe of William Castle, the 50s schlock expert who created the original "House on Haunted Hill" . He was a master at simple, gimmicky entertainment, the likes of which haven't been seen again (though his spirit is occasionally caught in the ...
Pros: Looks great and the setting is tremendous. Cons: Boring, and it's badly written.
When Jan de Bont attempted a remake of Robert Wise's 1963 frightener with “The Haunting”, the world over joined in unison at their derision at what was, essentially (and up until “Blair Witch 2”) the least scary, most incompetent horror movie of all ...
Pros: Geoffrey Rush's nutball performance and the wild gore Cons: The CG monster is a little weak
House on Haunted Hill is a movie that actually resembles it's main character (in this case Geoffrey Rush as amusement park owner Steven Price). They are both psychotic, nuts and so over-the-top that you can't help but have fun.
Pros: I jumped a few times, special effect were pretty good, I got a break from the children Cons: very similar to another horror film
This would have been a very good movie, if I hadn't seen the exact same plot only a few months ago. If you have seen or read "The Haunting" then you pretty much know the plot of the movie. Ok so it isn't exactly alike but you can guess the...
Pros: Fresh, unique, suspenseful Cons: Not long enough!
Last night my husband and I rented this movie and while I didn't see the original, I'm sure they took political license with the overall plot since it was quite modern and fresh in its approach.
Pros: Some creepy sets with a great serious role for Chris Kataan Cons: The ending is a bit to light hearted for me
Caught rapt like some madman made to watch the the destruction of all he is told is real, I stare wide-eyed at the screen. Images from nightmare worlds rip across my vision driven sharply into the core of my mind life blazing rods of insanity. Howling...
You wanted it---You got it! House on Haunted Hill delivers the horror that we have come to expect from horror flicks.....and never get. For those that are looking for a good scare that often leaves the viewer with the fashionable...
Pros: Special Effects and Geoffery Rush. Cons: Some bad acting and unbelievable attempts at horror.
This movie is a remake of the 1958 Vincent Price movie of the same name; "House on Haunted Hill." Directed by William Malone ("Creature" and "Scared to Death") and starring Geoffrey Rush ("Mystery Men",...
You've got to love the Internet Movie Database for its user comments alone. A helpful, if misguided, soul wrote of 1999's remake of 1958's House on Haunted Hill: "A flawed picture, but one that is true to its gender." Would that be male or...
One night in the house, one million bucks, no questions asked. But there's a catch for anyone who accepts the offer. Murder is a way of life at the Ho...More at HotMovieSale.com
