3/4

This early slasher movie and somewhat Psycho rip-off is also an artful and unnerving gothic horror picture in its own right. [Blu-ray]

3/4

Even if one guesses the gotcha moments, there’s still plenty to enjoy.

Taken as a whole, the sinister and accomplished The House That Screamed is something of a classic of European horror.

Great film. Very plodding but with great atmosphere. Saw it on Tubi and it was great!

A sapphic nightmare. The movie is dripping with lesbian undertones and it has a very unique theme. Tons of taboos. Shockingly good horror film.

One of the best Italian horror movie's I've ever watched. Was blown away by its quality!

I would have rated it higher, but the quality of the physical film was poor. I watched it on Tubi, and usually I don't have any problems. Anyway, it is an '80s movie that's worth a watch if you are able to see it clearly.
