Haunts of the Very Rich (1972)

It Does Have A Strong Fantasy Island Flavor

Any review you read stating this film is has a strong Fantasy Island flair is true. The movie really does feel like a long episode of the famous and beloved TV Show.

"Haunts" is a loose remake of the film Outward Bound (1930) which was remade into a better film entitled Between Two Worlds (1944). The movie is not a rip off of Fantasy Island but a loose remake of earlier films.

Everyone in the movie is just fine, but I liked Edward Asner's character the best. He was *almost* a comic relief type of character that tickled me at times.

It's not an awful movie at all, but it's not all that great either... somewhere in the middle for me.

4/10
