Rather creepy underrated haunted house gem that in some ways goes beyond the standard cliches for the genre. Some of the really interesting camera work makes me wonder if Sam Rami saw this before making The Evil Dead. And other parts remind me of The Shining, although I'm not sure if Kubrick was inspired by this movie when he made his legendary horror film. I rather liked how it slowly builds up its creepiness, leading to a rather unforgettable climax.

Had some good, creepy ideas, but something about the way this one was made sucks the life out of it faster than it did to poor ol' Aunt Elizabeth. And working on this film must have been so traumatic for Oliver Reed - did you see how many times he was scared shirtless?

Oliver Reed and Karen Black is one couple that I would not want to have dinner with. The part where Reed tries to drown his own son is amazing.

Good Movie

Not sure which was creepier: the weird family that movies out of the house or the normal bickering, abusive one that moves in.

I watched that one with 10 (alone at home) and that grin was hauting me for years. Yikes!

Had some nice moments, particularly the brutal pool scene. Possibly "scary" by 1976-standards, but the film didn't age well.

Pretty damn scary. If you can get your hands on a copy of Robert Marasco's original book (by the same title), then read it before watching the show; compare.
