After all the 'post-modern' horror spin-offs from Scream, finally a film that lives up to the term 'horror'. "House On Haunted Hill" impressed me because it doesn't pretend to be intelligent or witty. When I watch a horror film I want drama, tension, and lots and lots of blood and gore. What really sets this apart from any other horror films I've seen recently is the cast: there is a chemistry between the actors that gives strong and realistic performances in the tense scenes. The dark atmosphere of the film comes from the actors rather than special effects, while the film's script is very good as horror movies go. Although not the most terrifying horror film, it is still has a lot going for it. More original than most, and a hell of a lot more enjoyable, the 'House on Haunted Hill' is a great DVD.
