Today's film is The Legend of Hell House. I think haunted house movies are some of the best spooky movies. Today's film is no different. A bit spooky, and a bit mysterious.
Hell House is actually a mansion owned by Belasco, a sexually depraved rich individual. The house is so haunted that whenever someone tries to stay the night, they either go insane or get killed. 15 years before, a group of scientists and psychics stayed to figure out what was happening. Is it something that can be proven by science, or is it truly something supernatural? Everyone from this group, except a 15 year old child genius medium, died or went crazy.
Now, an old rich guy purchased the house and wants to use it to find out the secrets of life after death. He hires a physicist, a young medium, and the only survivor of the last group from 15 years ago. Most of it is the physicist arguing that nothing supernatural is happening and that he can prove it and the medium telling him that it is ghosts and she can prove it. Meanwhile increasingly weirder things start happening. Are there really spirits inside the house? And why did everyone die last time, and will this group be safe? Of course they're not safe.
As far as haunted house movies go, this one is very enjoyable yet has a silly ending. It didn't have to rely solely on special effects since everyone's acting was very good. I will give this film a 7/10.
