Cheapo mystery-thriller from the vaults., 3 October 2005
Author: teptime from fabulous Las Vega$!

Obscure drive-in trash could really have been a lot worse, considering the volume of truly wretched films that have somehow managed to acquire more resonance. What we have here is a sleaze-driven Agatha Christiesque plot to off a recently-widower-ed fellow for his ample money cache...culprits at hand include the dead wife's nurse, her scummy lover, and the wealthy man's sister. In a swirl of lust, infidelity, murder, and fate, the plot thickens...albeit not very much. Highlight is the inimitable cult figure Jaqueline Hyde in a dual role, performing strongly and stealing the show. A few moments of graphic violence help out a little, as well...still, the final product remains something short of "great".

HOUSE OF TERROR is the sort of thing one might find channel surfing at 3A.M., an instantly forgettable bit of celluloid which will likely never see the light of day on DVD. Does anyone really give a rat's ass? ...I doubt it...
