House of the Black Death (1965)

It's Not All That Bad


This movie really is not all that bad; it's actually a fairly decent older horror mystery film. The story does seem to be lacking quite a bit - it's not that well written. It does have the potential to be a good story with a bit more work on the script.  The acting is so-so. It's as if the actors did not have their heart into making this movie - only to acquire a quick paycheck.

What the film has got going for it besides being the potential of being a good horror film: a satanic witchcraft theme, a mysterious small town called Wydeburn and werewolf (a very quick glimpse at the werewolf which looked more like an ape-man to me).

I have to say, there is something I like about this film - it's a horror film nugget to me.

Comparable film: If you want a good older film concerning satanic witches and a mysterious small town then try The City of the Dead 1960 (aka Horror Hotel) starring Christopher Lee.

7/10
