Review of House on Haunted Hill (1959) by Jim E — 16 Jun 2010

Gotta admit, I preferred the remake. Perhaps it was due to the budget and age but this film just seemed so very amateur. It was a nice idea and Price was fabulous. Yet it's scenes like the acid pit where - not only is there an acid pit in the house (?), but she slooowlly walks back towards it.

And hell knows how she didn't see the strings on that skeleton. Aside from the silly CGI, the remake is superior. Shame.
