The House That Dripped Blood

You’d think with a line-up of Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, Denholm Elliott, and Jon Pertwee, this British horror anthology would be an easy recommendation. Unfortunately, it’s only mildly interesting. The stories are light on scares, the last story borders on comedic, two of them almost never take place in the house that supposed to link all the stories together, and worst of all, none of these actors share a scene. Not once. Yes, they’re all in separate stories, but COME ON. How do you not have some crossover, or put two guys in one story? It’s a passable movie, not without its charms (every story has a devilish Tales From The Crypt twist to it), but the individual parts outshine the whole.
