Movie Reviews of The Old Dark House
Movie Review: Perfect for a late-night movie fest
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie reminds me of all the fun movies that were on the local Chiller Theater when I was growing up. Terrific thrills and chills in an old-fashioned manner. James Whales, best known for Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein, directed and his touches are visible, from intelligent dialogue to the chaotic action scenes.A wind-blown Gloria Stuart is awesome to behold as a damsel in distress. Well cast and well acted, this is one of the classics.
Movie Review: James Whales 2nd best film- Perfect mix of Horror and Humor.
Summary: 5 Stars
James Whale's "Bride of Frankenstein" is the film makers best horror movie, but this gets my vote for 2nd place. Really twisted, scary, and funny. And a cast that's out of this world! The modern "Scream" movies can't measure up to this film and "Bride" when it comes to mixing comedy and horror. Sit back and enjoy the bizarreness of it all. Oh yeah, also be sure to "have a Potato."Movie Review: Old Dark House is a Gem of the Genre
Summary: 5 Stars
Great fun throughout!Make sure and read disclaimer before opening credits!Creaky old atmosphere and ensemble acting by Laughton,Douglas,Karloff,Stuart,and Massey.Plot is simple(group of fellow travelers are stranded at a-you know--OLD DARK HOUSE), but plot is not what is important here.The atmosphere,dialogue, and characterizations is what makes OLD DARK HOUSE a Universal gem of the genre!Movie Review: Funny, spooky, and delightful
Summary: 5 Stars
This is such a great old fashioned dark house mystery. The characters alone are worth watching the movie. Movie greats Raymond Massey, Charles Laughton,Boris Karloff, and Melvin Douglas were so young way back then! The really corny old characters make the movie eerie enough to watch it to the end. What great fun!Movie Review: Great Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
A great classic worth every penny. A bit dated but that makes it even better. From the director who brought you such classics as Frankenstein with Karloff and The Invisible Man with Claude Rains. They just don't make movies like this anymore. Highly recommended.
