"There's an awful face in my soup!"

By cookieman108 on September 26, 2005

Format: DVD Verified Purchase

The first thing I noticed after receiving the DVD for the film House Where Evil Dwells (1982) is that the DVD cover art looks almost exactly the same as the cover art for the original DVD release of The Grudge (2004). Obviously Sony/MGM is trying to align the two (thereby leaching off the popularity of the newer film), and, while there are some superficial similarities (both take place in Japan and feature tales about the supernatural), I enjoyed The Grudge a bit more than I enjoyed this film. After watching this film last night, I think a more appropriate title might have been `House Where Mischievous Samurai Spirits Dwell'. Directed by Kevin Connor (The Land That Time Forgot, At the Earth's Core, Motel Hell), the film stars Edward Albert (The Greek Tycoon, "Falcon Crest", "Port Charles"), son of Eddie Albert (the "Green Acres" dude), Susan George (Straw Dogs, Dirty Mary Crazy Larry, Tintorera), and Doug McClure, whom you may remember from such films as The Land That Time Forgot (1975), The People That Time Forgot (1977), and Humanoids from the Deep (1980). Also appearing is Amy Barrett (Humanoids from the Deep), and Mako Hattori, Tsuiyuki Sasaki, and Toshiya Maruyama, all in their only silver screen appearance.

As the film begins it is the year 1840, and we're in Japan. A samurai comes home to find another pitching woo to his wife, becomes enraged, and a whole lot of nastiness ensues, as all three end up shuffling off this mortal coil...fast forward to the present and we see Ted Fletcher (Albert), his wife Laura (George), and their daughter Amy (Barrett) arriving in Japan, being met by a friend named Alex Curtis (McClure).Read more ›

A Ho-Hum Japanese Ghost Story

By DeadandBuried on September 27, 2013

Format: DVD Verified Purchase

In 1840, a Japanese samurai murders his wife and her lover, caught in an affair. The back story, is a seemingly cursed phallic relic is stolen from a evil witch (might be the coolest scene in the movie) which is then given as a gift to the soon to be slain lover which is then found a hundred and some years later in the same house by a young American couple.

Nudity over blood and cheap looking ghosts over scares can even dampen the spirit even an old school horror junkie like myself. I bought this blindly based off a cool title and briefly reading that Japanese Ghosts were in the premise. I will probably never watch it again.

Pro's:

Melissa George bares all twice and shows her assets.
The flashback of the Japanese witch is pretty sweet.
Some city and country footage of Japan in the early 80's is pretty awesome.
Two be-headings and a cool Samurai sword fight ending.

Con's:

There is no atmosphere or score.
An attempted vicious cheesy crab attack becomes comedy
Cheap ghosts effects.
Silly chime sound every time a ghost appears.

The beginning and the end of the film work well but the journey to get there was boring and at times bad comedy. Skip unless
you are into foreign 80's thrillers that have Flashing Katana's and Flashing boobs.

Moichi Do Itte Kudasai!

By Fireplug Marine Dad II on July 22, 2000

Format: VHS Tape

Disagree w/ those who did not understand the subtleties of Japanese horror film, albeit B flick or otherwise. They miss on the appreciation of location, authentic costuming, and the role of evil vs. human kindness and compassion in traditional Japanese life. One big plus: this film does not have a sugary happy ending; this gives it a cut high above most in the universal message that evil always co-exists w/ good and we have powers within ourselves to direct our lives toward either. Simple, but fundamentally true even for a B flick.

Good but dated in many ways

By CatHunter on February 15, 2015

Format: DVD Verified Purchase

A very good Japanese horror story with some good scenes in the film, but it's quite dated, not so convincing acting, and not a top production. It would make a great remake with a new cast and an updated production.

Low Budget Ghost Story Set In Japan Has Its Moments.

By Chip Kaufmann on November 25, 2013

Format: DVD

This was another one of those movies that got caught up in my transition from Charleston SC to Asheville NC during 1982-83. I'm surprised I missed it because I've been a fan of Kevin Connor's horror/fantasy movies since FROM BEYOND THE GRAVE in 1974. I enjoyed his Edgar Rice Burroughs LAND THAT TIME FORGOT series even with their laughable dinosaurs and AT THE EARTH'S CORE had Peter Cushing. Then there's his truly bizarre 1980 black horror-comedy MOTEL HELL which has the second greatest tag line for a movie that I've ever seen ("It takes all kind of critters to make Farmer Vincent Fritters.") behind Stacy Keach's THE TRAVELLING EXECUTIONER ("In 30 seconds he'll send you hurtling through the fields of Ambrosia, sizzling like a piece of bacon!"). I probably skipped it because I've had a number of issues with Susan George over the years (she seems to be the main selling point for some reviewers regarding this movie) and I didn't know that Kevin Connor had directed it.

The film opens with an 1840 prologue making you think you've rented a Japanese horror film. The characters are Japanese who are involved in a traditional menage a trois. A samurai catches his wife "in flagrante delicto" with his favorite pupil. He kills them both and then himself. 140 years later an American couple, Edward Albert (looking all the world like Tom Selleck) and Susan George (with her clothes on but not for long) and their young daughter rent the house courtesy of an old friend (Kevin Connor regular Doug McClure). Before long the ghosts of the murdered trio appear and possess the Americans so they can reenact their tragedy. That's basically it. What I found enjoyable was the basic storyline and the frequent looks at the Japanese surroundings circa 1982 before their economy took over.Read more ›

susan george yes

unfortunately this the worst movie i have ever seen her in.she is not in the movie near enough and eddie albert is wretched as an actor. not worth owning.

And no one warned them before they bought the house?

This is a good example way when you buy a home, check it's history first. Leaky roof, no problem. Bad plumbing, no problem. House haunted by evil spirits out to even the score? Read more

It was a very suspenseful thriller, not knowing when or what the ghosts were going to do. I would have like to see more sex scenes, or more complete scenes. Read more
