| House on Haunted Hill Review |

| It is a telling sign of how times have changed when the William Castle horror
flick from eons ago, "House on Haunted Hill," passes for restraint in this
jaded, anything-goes era of cheap thrills and gory violence. Sadly, this
gore-laden remake of the...more |

| Although I don’t know that it hurt it in any way, it’s too bad this film
came out after Jan de Bont’s flashy but boring remake of THE HAUNTING,
released a few months earlier. I wouldn’t have been surprised if that film
had put people off this particular...more |

| I had an epiphany today. It occurred to me while I was watching
"House on Haunted Hill." It is as follows: If a trailer makes the film

| Where was Wes Craven when we really needed him? "House on Haunted

left in the journeyman hands of William Malone ("Creature"). It starts
