"House on Skull Mountain"...we begin with an elderly woman being given last rites by a priest and the woman asks the priest to mail 4 envelopes for her, and each of these goes to a person who must show up at the house to collect an inheritance. Now this old woman was into voodoo, and so is at least one of her house-servants, so you know that will lead to something else later, and of course it does. Now that the "guests" have shown up, one of them is Lionel from "All in the Family/The Jeffersons", and another is Victor French, who yes, someone was related to this woman, although "not exactly the right color". Lots of mildly spooky things happen & there's some apparent hallucinations or something which lead to the deaths of some of the guests. One wonders though, why one woman was killed, as she was rather pleasant and innocuous, whereas I was ROOTING for Lionel Jefferson to be killed, since his character was so obnoxious. At any rate this all finishes off with a big voodoo ritual that goes on forever and then it's the end, huh....not really a lot to it, although it had promise....cool house, cool location, lots of potential with voodoo but this just kind of laid there....ah well. Incidentally, not that anyone will probably care after reading this, but this IS available now on DVD in a collection with "Mephisto Waltz", which, to me, is a far better film....5 out of 10.
