Leave your thoughts about The Legend of Hell House.
| PopMattersJ.C. Maçek IIIThis intelligent, creepy and disturbing horror film preys upon the most primal aversions to discomposure and the paranormal that even the most staunch realists among us harbor, but hide. |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeIncredibly flat-footed haunted house opus with even flatter ending. |
| NerdistKyle AndersonThe performances and script of this movie are all top notch, but what really makes this movie one of my favorites in the subgenre is its direction by Hough. |
| Daily DeadHeather WixsonDespite the fact that it was released over 40 years ago, John Hough's The Legend of Hell House still remains one of the greatest and most effective haunted house films ever committed to celluloid. |
| Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)John BeifussThe last-act revelation is a let-down and even somewhat silly, but this remains a top-tier ghost movie, thanks mostly to director John Hough, who privileges atmosphere over logic. |
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth WilliamsThe Legend of Hell House is a regrettably just-competent adaptation of a great American horror novel. |
| TheBluFile.comDustin PutmanFans of "The Legend of Hell House" and haunted house stories in general should have no qualms about picking up a copy. Recommended. |
| Aisle SeatMike McGranaghanA haunted house movie with a kinky twist. May feel slow to those accustomed to the hyper horror movies of today. |
| VarietyVariety StaffClive Revill, the physicist, who attempts to clear the house of its evil, Pamela Franklin, the mental medium and Roddy McDowall the survivor of the previous incursion, are all first-rate. |
| New York TimesA.H. WeilerIf John Hough, the director, and his small, willing cast maintain mild tension during their harried visit to this haunted "hell house," the few chills they provide are of little help. |
