House On Haunted Hill

Steven Price (a very hammy Rush) is a wealthy amusement park owner who invites several strangers to his shrewish wife's birthday party, this year held in the abandoned Vannacutt Institute for the Mentally Insane. There, he offers a prize of one million dollars to each party-goer who can spend the entire night in the creepy and cavernous building. As Mr. and Mrs. Price play a bitter game of cat and mouse, the guests begin to think there are more ominous forces at work, especially after the body count begins to creep higher and higher. A remake of the 1958 low-budgeter starring Vincent Price.

  • Supernatural horror that is heavy on shocks and special effects, but otherwise offers little that is special, though Rush's Vincent Price impersonation provides a little fun.

    House on Haunted Hill

    Rather silly story with full quota of blood and guts being spilled from predictable characters. Surprised Geoffry Rush decided to appear in this teen appeal rubbish. Has done nothing to further his career.

    Have to admit though, a few scenes did have a spine shivering quality and the sound track was also quite disturbing - on a quality stereo TV it was quite spooky to be able to hear lots of whisperings, moanings, creakings etc beneath the actual dialogue - most unsettling.
