Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!

Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

a_chinn Weak horror film is mainly interesting because of how closely the plot hews to the teen body count horror film formula long before the formula was firmly established a decade later with the "Halloween" and "Friday the 13th" films. Frankie Avalon and a group of British teens go to an old mansion where they are then killed one by one. Who is the murderer? (SPOILER ALERT!) I was really hoping it would be Frankie of Beach Party fame, but sadly it was not. Writer/director Michael Armstrong, the man who made the notorious (and poorly made in my opinion) "Mark of the Devil," delivers another weak film here. I do think this film could have been better if Armstrong got his original choice of David Bowie as the killer. Unfortunately AIP felt Bowie would clash with Frankie. Too bad. That might have made this a much more memorable of film.

Maz Murdoch (asda-man) I recorded "Haunted House Of Horror" because it sounded like a fun 60's slasher that was so bad it was good! It actually turned out to be a dull, messy slasher that left a lot to be desired.So we're introduced to a bunch of sixties past-its acting like kids at a party when they're actually in there 30's by the looks of things and one of the gets bored, so they decide to go to an even more boring old house to go ghost hunting! Are we actually supposed to like these characters? There's about 8 of them so we can't get any character development because we don't recognise who half of the are! In the haunted house someone gets murdered in quite an amusing way, blood flies everywhere (well I say blood, more like a can of Dulex) and instead of getting out to call the police, they decide to bury the body in case it's one of them. What a bunch of idiots! This is a daft story that's a bit of a mess really. We hardly get any action, but more boring talk, personally I think the whole film should've been set in this house, but we get out and then they stupidly go back and it turns into a who's-dunnit when it was bloody obvious who'd done it in the first place! Shock reveal? I don't think so.Uninvolving, uninspiring, unimaginative. I wouldn't bother, it's not even fun, I lost interest very quickly and I usually find these old slashers that are so bad they're good quite entertaining. Not this one though :(

ludgerwilmott Ham acting, predictable plot and liberal lashings of ketchup make this a classic 60's British horror film made in the 'Hammer Horror' time honoured way when the country was great at everything. It's a very English treatment of a theme dominated since the '70s by the likes of Wes Craven and other horror American film makers who have since thrown quaint charm out with the bath water (see horror classics like 'The Haunting' 1963 and 'The Legend of Hell House' for horror films which play subtly on the mind). The plot is so predictable these days it would be hard to end with a spoiler. Basically the story revolves around not for long fun-loving,swinging 60s teenagers wandering around a creepy, old, reputedly haunted house and getting bumped off by instalments. Umm. Unlike the unsubtle use of chainsaws in Texas what makes this film for me is the imaginative and atmospheric use of the interior and exterior location shots which give 'The Haunted House of Horror' a very creepy feel and a well deserved regard as a cult classic of it's genre.

AngryChair London "hepcats" grow bored at a party one night and decide to go explore an old nearby estate that's supposedly haunted. Once there one of the gang is brutally knifed to death and the group is left to wonder if one of their own is a killer.The Haunted House of Horror (also known simply as Horror House) is a swinging 60's British chiller that's a bit of a mixed-bag for horror fans. On the good side there's a couple of effectively shocking (and bloody) murder scenes, a nicely moody music score by Reg Tilsley, and the climax of the film is pleasingly intense. Unfortunately the rest of the film is hampered by a sluggish pacing and a fairly routine setup. The uneven performances from the cast don't help things either.Still, overall Haunted House of Horror has enough going for it to make it an interesting watch - particularly for fans of British horror from this era or maybe for people who just hate Frankie Avalon.** out of ****
