House on Haunted Hill Reviews
These are no good against the dead, only the living.
This William Castle/Vincent Price thriller classic will satisfy fans of both old black & white horror films and those who dig Vincent Price movies.
Price plays a wealthy bored type whose wife is only around for his loot. He throws a party for "her" - inviting a mixed bag of a gang who could use the $10,000 he promises them all: the catch? Just stay the night... Along the way they'll have to avoid basement holes full of acid, blind, weird maids scurrying around in the dark and other assorted chills.
Remade & re-imagined in 1999, the new version is a flashy more disturbing romp starring Geoffrey Rush and Famke Jannsen as the psychotically bored, overly blinged couple. However, the wacky original contains lots of scary goodies. It's perfect for those who like good old fashioned frights!
Classic Vincent Price Film
I remember watching this film when I was a kid on the Saturday creature-features shows. It doesn't have the gore that the newer version has but it keeps you in suspense as only a Vincent Price movie could.
I specially recommend the Warner Brothers version which is shown both in Full and Widescreen formats. The picture quality is great. There is a colorized version available also but, in my opinion, black and white is the best way to watch these classics.
I recommend this film.
