Editorial Review - Description
When a motion picture crew decides to use the supposedly-cursed Beal Mansion as the location for their latest horror film, little do they realize that they are tampering with the supernatural. According to legend, seven Beal descendants met violent, but "accidental" ends in the ancient house, and the latest Beal victim had been dabbling in the occult before her untimely demise. After headstrong director Eric Hartman (John Ireland) demands that his leading lady Gayle (Faith Domergue) recite actual passages from the Tibetan Book of the Dead during the filming, he unleashes long-dead spirits that begin to re-enact the historical Beal murders and exact their own bloody revenge on the trespassers. What secret does caretaker Edgar Price (John Carradine) hold to the Beal family curse? And what do the empty picture frame and unmarked grave have to do with the mystery--could there be a remaining member of the Beal family lurking about, with murder on his mind?
A Slow Burner
A Customer Review by horror hound
A group of low budget film makers attempt to finish making a horror movie
in an old mansion with a murderous past.
Old time horror legend John Carradine has a small but effective role
along with John Ireland who is clearly enjoying the role of a short tempered movie director.
The movie is slowly paced, but this helps the atmosphere, in fact it is
not until the hour mark that anything really happens. This helps to build up a palpable sense of dread, and there are some nice insights into the world of low budget film making. Recommended for fans of 60's/70's B movies, looking for something more accomplished.
This one is a keeper.
A Customer Review by Brent Heigold
You know a movie is going to be good when it starts off with creepy ambient choir music, and people being hung, stabbed, and shot.
The grainy film quality, the way the title comes up with a huge, haunted house in the background.
I had to stop the movie and order pizza hut before going any further.
If you are in to old, eerie horror you must have this movie.
