There's some very strong horror content in here and some very strong psychological thriller content, especially the parts that show Nora's descent into complete emotional overwhelm. But it comes off as a bit flat, in the end, with little of the character stuff thematically tied together. Also, Vincent Price executes his role well, but it doesn't give him a chance to be properly gleeful about his bastardness.

I'm afraid this is a very unusual and very dull party." Well, you were half right... Hammy and not very good. For a pretty brief film it takes far too long to start moving. Price is as smooth as ever but mostly takes a back seat to an otherwise bland cast. Scattered amusing moments.

It shows its age, but it reminded me of And then there were none, so it was neat. Maybe it was very scary back in the time it came it, and nowadays it might be tamer than some movie, but the scares are still entertaining and gutsy, the story is fun and the ending won't leave you indifferent.

It's good and campy, but never quite as good or campy as you want it to be, given the haunted house trappings and William Castle imprimatur. For more fun and funny, see Castle's "13 Ghosts" (1960); for the genuinely scary version, opt for "The Haunting" (1963).

Cheesy skeletons, a vat of acid, and a murder plot provide more fun than a traditional horror movie can. Its campy and confusing in all the best ways possible.

Like a spooky haunted house game of "Clue"(1985), this delightfully campy 50's horror cheese is a fun classic watch for genre fans. While many might prefer the more genuinely spooky haunted house atmosphere of something like "The Haunting"(1963), William Castle's gimmicky thrills make this movie a lot of fun for me, and should make for a decent lark this Halloween season.

A fun slice of classic camp that benefits immensely from having Vincent Price in it, the characters are pretty enjoyable & the performances are fine all around. There's actually a pretty effective spooky atmosphere to the house. The third act makes absolutely no sense, but it's written in such a straight-laced-yet-self-aware way that it's more endearing than annoying. Still, this isn't exactly a great example of haunted house horror- it sure is entertaining, though.

It's easy to see why this is considered a classic - it's presumably huckster-director Castle's best work. Despite a low budget he comes up with some arresting imagery that still carries some creepiness & well crafted camera reveals of ghostly figures that must have influenced many horror filmmakers. The talking heads opening is compelling & so is the mystery he sets up. The big problem however is that the eagerly awaited explanation is riddled with plot holes & egregious implausibilities

The characters, particularly Vincent Price's, are really entertaining, and it makes this an overall fun horror/mystery movie. And with a few really creative scare moments (even if one or two of them make no sense) I can see why this type of haunted-house movie is so often referenced in pop culture. The finale, especially, was brilliant. Didn't matter how many gifs of it I had already seen, I still loved it.

This film had an original script that has been redone and made fun of numerous times. The film is dated but it still has some good moments. The cast works especially Vincent Price. Overall I would recommend this film.

It's not even remotely scary, but it's loads of fun. However, and this is something I almost never complain about, it's clearly way too short. I desperately wanted the shenanigans to keep going.

A group of people locked in a haunted house by an eccentric millionaire. It held my attention, but the ending is unsatisfying because it can't explain all the facts.

A true classic of the old dark house genre. It reminds me of "The Haunting" (though this came first) in that outsiders are invited to stay in a house with a horrific reputation. While Vincent Price plays an evil mastermind in a William Castle flick you think he'd be acting in a Paul Thomas Anderson film, as he delivers it in a straight forward and totally believable manner; truly an underrated actor. "House on Haunted Hill" is spooky, fun, and also leaves you thinking more than you'd expect.

After the unnerving opening sequence, it's mostly just an awkwardly staged melodrama with cheesy dialogue and scares and confusing characters (Vincent's villain vacillating between sinister and clueless being the worst of them), until an excellent couple of climactic twists (marred only by one ridiculously incompetent damsel in distress) tie things together in a surprisingly satisfying manner that even the rational Dr. Trent would approve of... if he survives the night, that is! Mwahaha.

While the story itself is pretty good there is a bit of a glaring plothole of the question of if the house is actually haunted or not. The acting is good, the camp factor is perfect, and the short run time kept the movie from dragging.
