Review of Burnt Offerings (1976) by Michael H — 02 Nov 2014
This plodding, campy haunted-house chiller was produced and directed by television's Dan Curtis ("House of Dark Shadows"--thedirector of TV's Dark Shadows series). Filled with artistic ambitions that failed to materialize, it's based on the 1973 best-seller novel by Robert Marasco and is cowritten by Curtis and William F.
Nolan. It's one of those films where the house (Dunsmuir House and Gardens in Oakland, California, a sprawling 37-room mansion on 50 acres) is the star and the characters are merely the furniture.
