Movies recommended or seen lately... les films a voir #64. House on Haunted Hill

Genre: Horror/Horreur

Annee/Year: 1999

Format: DVD

House on Haunted Hill. I have to admit this is a remake from a fifties movie of which i never saw the original (but i would love to). Having said that this is one of my preferate horror movies ever. It plays on multiple level and the house is really the antagonist. Set in a stunning stylish architecture this movie has got the really creepy atmosphere down with a couple of plot twists to keep you on your seat's edge. I remember my first viewing of it in the theatre i was genuinely scared. On second viewing not as much but still lots of fun 11 years later.

The cast is excelent. Love the Vincent Price copy played by Goeffrey Rush. The wife played by Famke Jenssen (chick from Firefly) and Ali Larter (from Heroes). The story is great and the atmosphere is excellent. Enough for a good horror movie without the corny bits. Definitely to see for the amateurs of the genre.

Excellent film d'horreur (un de mes preferes). Le casting est parfait et l'histoire vous gardera sur la tension tout au long du film. L'atmosphere de la maison de style art Deco est genial et ajoute pas mal au film. A voir pour les amateurs du genre. Pour le prix, le DVD fait le travail mais ne vous attendez pas a une piste francaise de qualite.

Great quotes:
Channel 3 Reporter: So Mr. Price, business or pleasure?
Steven H. Price: Neither. My wife.

Evelyn Stockard-Price: Stephen, if you really love me, you'll find a way to drop dead in the next second.
Steven H. Price: Oh but baby, finding ways for me to die is really your thing. Let's not forget the O.J. knife with the not so retractable blade, the Jim Jones kool-aide which was exactly that.
Evelyn Stockard-Price: Accidents, all accidents until proven otherwise.

Watson Pritchett: [walks slowly up to Sarah] You don't... get it... do you? This house is pissed. It has no morals, cuz it's a fucking house!
