HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL 1999 DOWNLOAD MOVIE
The final section slides back into standard fare with the old CGI evil coming to get us ? but up till then it's surprisingly good stuff.įor once, a movie even scarier and more horrifying than the trailers for it. Overall the film starts like any other Hollywood horror but the clever direction, creepy music and imaginative visuals of Dr Vannacutt all create a creepy feel to the film that is better than the gore that also comes. Jensen, Diggs, Gallagher and Kattan all do well and the cast do better than the scream queens that usual inhabit these films. Rush plays nicely to the camp in his homage to Price's role in the original. The cast are all pretty good and do `camp' when necessary but don't take away from the terror that's coming later. However up to this point it works very well and it's real creepy. At this point it reverts to form and because just another Hollywood creature feature and it is a bit of a let down. Sadly the final 20 minutes feels it needs to reveal a bigger evil and the secrets of the house are brought to life in boom of CGI beasties. The movement of the deceased Dr Vannacutt is very creepy and is much better than some of the gore. However here the gore is well used and the general creepy mood wins the film. I'm not a big fan of horror or this type of Hollywood slasher movie as I find them too obvious and not scary. The plot may not be imaginative but the delivery is very good for this type of film. In fact the end point of the original is only the halfway mark of this one. This remake of the old 1958 movie sees the plot expanded and made a lot more creepy and enjoyable. However it soon becomes evident that not all the scares are set up by Price himself. The one who does spend the night will get $1million dollars.
He invites a group of people to spend the night in the former Vannacutt Psychiatric Institute for the Criminally Insane ? where the inmates revolved in a orgy of violence against the cruel regime of Dr Vannacutt. Rich but eccentric millionaire Steven Price is looking for the ultimate scares. Despite a weak ending this is a surprisingly creepy Hollywood horror
