Diagonaldi Very well executed

Rijndri Load of rubbish!!

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Leofwine_draca A classic example of an exploitation film of the late 1970s, this movies manages to rise above the standard, clichéd roots and become an interesting look at the life of a schizophrenic murderer. The film's main advantage is that it portrays Donny as a believable and sympathetic character, who is simply suffering from delusions and a mental illness. He is not in control of his actions, and it is his mother who is really to blame for the murders that take place. The film also manages to put in a moral line about child abuse. The main actor never disappoints in his role, convincing throughout.However, your average viewer would probably be put off by the sickening scenes of naked women being burnt alive. They're not especially explicit, but even worse are the scenes of Donny interacting with the burnt corpses which really are disturbing. The film has very few supernatural moments, although there is a genuinely chilling climax borrowed from MANIAC. Although the film's trappings have dated in the subsequent decades - particularly in that cheesy disco scene - it hasn't lost its power to shock, and is one of the most interesting of all the low-budget PSYCHO derivatives.

jacobstanleymoore It's a great movie.. Just wondering why it's still banned in some countries?? If anybody knows can U please explain why.. Don't really understand why so many good movies like this get banned in countries.. I'am a die hard 70s-80s horror n gore fan.. Now all this movies have to much CGI it all looks so damn fake.. Somebody please tell me why this movie is still banned in countries.. I saw nothing in this movie for it to get banned anywhere.. Seems all the best late 70s n early 80s horror n gore movies get banned.. The best Gore came from these movies not all this CGI crap now!!! Anyways I haven't seen anything that comes close to any of the 80s horror n Gore movies now... Take away all the CGI n go back to the basics!!

ctomvelu1 Some fool's idea of a takeoff on "Psycho," here we have a deranged young man living with the corpse of his mom and luring young women to his house of horrors, where he chains them up and sets them on fire. The acting is abysmal, and the plot is threadbare, but the gals are all gorgeous and there is some decent nudity on display. Unfortunately, scares are nonexistent and we can't wait for the climax. Hollywood churned this kind of drivel out in droves back in the 1970s and 1980s, when there were still drive-in theaters. By the late 1980s and to this very day, such movies are still banged out by the dozens for home consumption.

Roman James Hoffman 'Don't go in the house' is a gruesome, low-budget, surprisingly effective, and even oddly moving inclusion on the UK Director of Public Prosecutions list of video nasties. The premise is ghoulish: Donny (Dan Grimaldi) is a misogynistic pyromaniac who builds a special room in his house where he incinerates women before keeping their charred corpses in another room. So far, so…well, exploitation film. However, DGITH raises itself far above this macabre premise in daring to present the killer in a sympathetic light and (at least for me) succeeding. This is done through various expository means which reveal Donny's homicidal urges to be the result of an abusive childhood at the hands of his domineering mother. In particular, the seeds of his obsession with the cleansing effects of fire are delineated to the moments when his mother would burn his forearms on a stove to punish transgressions whether real or imagined. Donny then continues to grow up in the family home under his mother's watchful eye until one day he returns from work to find that she has croaked. Initially jubilant, he quickly begins hearing voices and his fragile psyche soon breaks under its own weight and he descends into a bottomless personal Hell.The film obviously has shades of Hitchcock's 'Psycho' (1960) in its mommy-dearest theme, and also Polanski's 'Repulsion' (1965) as we watch him succumb to his inner demons. However, in contrast to the artistic sense these directors imbued their films with, the wholly unaestheticised exploitation-style presentation of the murders communicates the full brutality of the act which makes the subsequent attempt to portray Donny himself as a victim all the more daring.Depending on one's moral standpoint, it could be equally argued that as a serial murderer Donny deserves the harshest of punishments, and on the other hand he could be seen to deserve pity and sympathy. Beast or bird with a broken wing? What's clear is that the movie is boldly treading on dangerous ground, which is why the film ended up on the list of Video Nasties. The aim of the list was to enable prosecution for the sale of movies which were deemed to have the power to morally corrupt…which is ironic for a film with such a strong moral message that violence begets violence and that even the worst of us are, in fact, victims.
