Horror Hotel Reviews
This atmospheric chiller is a MUST SEE
Being a big fan of CARNIVAL OF SOULS,a friend let me borrow his CARNIVAL dvd which had HORROR HOTEL on it as well.I watched it not expecting a whole lot but that changed immediately.The atmosphere is unlike anything i've ever witnessed in a horror film.Christopher Lee as usual,is terrific in his patented sinister role.Venetia Stevenson is STUNNINGLY gorgeous playing a young college student that goes to a small town to study witchcraft.Check out HORROR HOTEL,it's easily one of the best "witch" movies ever made.The dark, foggy small town setting is amazing.
CAMPY CHILLER
Obviously filmed on a shoestring budget, this cheesy little flick nevertheless lingers in the mind - the atmosphere is creepy and there are good performances from both Christopher Lee and (especially) Patricia Jessel. A young girl named Nan Barlow is mesmorized by the subject of witchcraft, a course she is taking in college. Christopher Lee is her creepy teacher who has further designs for his pupil!.................The stage actress Patricia Jessel gives the most memorable performance in the whole film as the witch Elizabeth Selwyn who was burned to death in Whitewood, Massachusetts in the sixteen hundreds and yet runs the local inn as well! The film was obviously shot on a small budget but they succeeded in projecting a suitably eerie atmospheric feeling, and an otherworldly frisson quality lingers in the mind. Nan stops during her drive to Whitewood to do research on witchcraft and she meets Jethro! Her one friend is a mute girl named Lottie who is scolded by Miss Newliss (guess who?) for "bothering the guests" Corny but fun.
