Review of Burnt Offerings (1976) by Eytan D — 29 Jul 2013
For most of its running time, "Burnt Offerings" manages to be a pretty creepy haunted house movie. Some imagery (including the appearance of the Chauffeur) really is freaky. Plus, the cast is loveable.
Oliver Reed and Karen Black are a joy to watch, and Burgess Meredith and Eileen Heckart steal the scenes they're in. And Bette Davis is, as always, a blast. But the main problem with "Burnt Offerings" is its build-up.
There is so much hype to the film's conclusion, and all we are left with is one disappointing ending. But overall, you can do a lot worse than this.
