Review of Elvira's Haunted Hills (2002) by Dann M — 30 Aug 2014
The Mistress of the Dark is back for another terrifying adventure in Elvira's Haunted Hills. Set in 1851 Carpathia, cabaret performer Elvira is offered food and shelter at a local castle, but she starts to suspect that something mysterious is going on when she discovers that the lord's dead wife looks exactly like her.
The film is basically an homage to the Hammer Horror and Vincent Prince films of the '60s, and on that level it sort of works. However, the performances are rather weak, and Elvira's sass and attitude seem out of place in this setting.
The directing is also lackluster and doesn't add much to the material. Elvira's Haunted Hills isn't quite as clever or as fun as the first film, but it tries some interesting things and delivers a few laughs.
