Profile of House on Haunted Hill

The mood of House on Haunted Hill is atmospheric, scary, and suspenseful. The plot centers around domestic disturbances, a family in danger, and isolation. It is a horror, thriller, and mystery movie. Stylistically, House on Haunted Hill is gory. In approach, it is serious. It takes place, at least partly, in a haunted house and in a mental institution. House on Haunted Hill happens in the 1990s. It is a remake. It is especially suggested for teens.

Summary of House on Haunted Hill

Steven Price (a very hammy Geoffrey Rush) is a wealthy amusement park owner who invites several strangers to his shrewish wife's birthday party, this year held in the abandoned Vannacutt Institute for the Mentally Insane. There, he offers a prize of one million dollars to each party-goer who can spend the entire night in the creepy and cavernous building. As Mr. and Mrs. Price play a bitter game of cat and mouse, the guests begin to think there are more ominous forces at work, especially after the body count begins to creep higher and higher. A remake of the 1958 low-budgeter starring Vincent Price.

Critics Reviews

TV Guide
For horror fans in a forgiving mood, it's an adequate fear fix.
Variety
Still nothing but a gussied-up B movie.

Not for me
