Review of House of the Long Shadows (1983) by Aj V — 31 Jan 2011

This could have been a good movie if it weren't so predictable. First of all, Price, Lee, and Cushing are the only actors who get any interesting lines throughout the whole movie. The rest of the cast can hardly act, and their lame dialogue isn't helping any.

You may think today that the plot is old, but even in 1984 it was an overly used plot. The only thing that this film had going for it when it came out was its cast of famous horror film actors, which is the reason I wanted to see the movie too.

In fact, this movie wouldn't have been so bad if it didn't have a predictable twist at the end.
