The House of Seven Corpses

1974 · 90 min

A slow, creaky old-dark-house chiller that feels like watching a film crew wander into a real haunting, with a musty, low-budget eeriness.

Directed by
Paul Harrison
Genres
Horror
Starring
John Ireland, Faith Domergue, John Carradine
Overview
A director is filming on location in a house where seven murders were committed. The caretaker warns them not to mess with things they do not understand (the murders were occult related), but the director wants to be as authentic as possible and has his cast re-enact rituals that took place in the house thus summoning a ghoul from the nearby cemetery to bump the whole film crew off one by one.
