Another Deliciously Gory Horror Tale From the Master of Gore

By this point in his career Lucio Fulci was cranking out gorefest after gorefest. This film is no different. With a great opening involving two lovers in an abandoned house we are introduced to the great score by Walter Rizzati that plays through out the film. After the credit sequence we are introduced to the Boyle family. Mother Lucy (Catriona MacColl in I believe her third Fulci film after THE CITY OF THE LIVING DEAD and THE BEYOND), father Norman (Paulo Malco) and son Bob (Giovanni Frezza) are going to be moving to a new home with New England. Only problem is the previous owner murdered his mistress and then committed suicide.The first half of the movie is good and quite restrained if you will for Fulci. It is introducing characters, infusing creepiness and at times visually impressive while not exactly going for the gore. But, to me it is the second half where it does amp up the gore, bring on the great, gruesome kills and really the tension at times is almost chaotic in the basement (especially when Bob goes down there) of their new house that brings this film up on the rating scale for me. I mean that is what I am expecting from a Fulci movie.If gobs of gore isn't your thing you should probably stay away, but if you are a fan of Fulci or like a mix of gore and tension in your films I recommend this 1981 horror flick for you.Two final notes: Mr. Fulci himself portrays Dr. Mueller and whomever did the voice over work for Bob does in fact have a slightly annoying whiny voice. So just be prepared for that.

Fulci's most overrated film

I know Fulci fans like this film. I wanted to like it too. But I just don't see it. It drones on so slowly. The bat scene was gratingly awful. The child (Bob) was gratingly awful. There were giant gaps in logic and plot such as disappearing blood and possessed doors that had nothing to do with the underlying genre (monster in the basement).

The only thing worth recommending is the monster who has a pretty disturbing look! However, he only appears in the last 10 minutes of the film, and he mainly just walks veeeeery sloooowly. And stands still. He also stands still a lot too.
