5.0 out of 5 stars House of the damned, March 15, 2011

For those who have not seen this movie here is the plot. An American family moves into an old manor in Ireland. The home is haunted by the spirit of a young girl and other more malevolent ghosts. The films story itself is not entirely original. Without giving too much of the plot away, I will say there is a lot of disjointed pieces to the puzzle. With my reviews I try to focus on the release itself, rather than the overall merit of the film. The film is presented in full screen with a clear picture. The colors are a tad dark. This is a haunted house movie, so this is entirely forgivable. For bonus features the release offers very little: an original trailer.
The reason why I rated this film so high is its re-watchable value. I rented this film on VHS more than few times in my youth. I did not really like it then, but found myself returning to it. The same goes with it as a part of my DVD collection. I am happy I have it and watch it every now and then. There is something great about it which I can't really put my finger on.
Most folks I meet who have seen this movie know it by the title, House Of The Damned. It stars Alexandra Paul, who is always fun to see on screen (Check out John Carpenter's Christine, Love Thy Neighbor and Baywatch). I have also read that this films story bears a striking resemblance to the King Diamond record Abigail. I agree with that to a certain degree. As to what is in the cellar of the manor. Overall; A fun movie, cheap in cost and produced by Roger Corman. I put the trailer up on youtube under House Of The Damned/ Spectre if want to check it out. I bought the release here on Amazon and received it super fast from New Horizons. Thanks for reading.

The DVD was in great condition, it arrived quickly. I returned it only because I had thought it was another movie by that same name. (But the DVD itself was a good buy.)
