"The Dreams in the Witch House" by H.P. Lovecraft
1 January 2017
If I told you about Boris Karloff, Christopher Lee and Barbara Steele being in the same movie, you would instantly assume I'm talking about some horror movie from middle of the last century and, if you hoped to see horror, you would be very disappointed. Although it was classified as one, this movie does not have H of horror. It is not frightening, has no supernatural elements, it is not suspense, there's no blood or sudden scare scenes. The movie is totally realistic and music and effects are more appropriate for some alien SF than for horror, which this movie is not anyway. This is a mediocre thriller that has pretty scenography and slightly spooky atmosphere, few resonant names and absolutely nothing more than that. I'm not sorry about spending 90 minutes on it, but I definitely do not recommend it.
