TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

a_baron The original title "The Folks At Red Wolf Inn" is just as suitable; one can call any house in which people are murdered a terror house. Having said that, while there is an element of terror, the plot is a bit thin. A student gets a phone call advising her she has won a prize, so she jumps on a plane - as you would do - and ends up at an isolated house ruled by a smiling but sinister matriarch. We are not told what the prize is, but there are two other girls there, one similar to her, and another free-spirited whom it is hinted might have been a prostitute. These two end up in the walk-in refrigerator, minus their heads, but the grandson of the proprietors - who is a bit simple - takes a shine to our damsel, and she is spared. What happens next? Not a lot, but this is clearly a film that is not to be taken too seriously. As if you would.

wes-connors "A college student returns to her dorm room after class and discovers she is the winner of an all-expense paid vacation to the Red Wolf Inn. Before she can share her good fortune with her parents, she and two other girls are whisked away to begin their vacation of a lifetime. When one of the guests suddenly disappears, the young woman doesn't believe the explanation the old couple who run the inn gives her concerning the strange goings on at the Red Wolf," according to the DVD sleeve's synopsis.Offering a delicious slice of low-budget horror cheese; director Bud Townsend and writer Allen Actor, along with a wonderful cast, should absolutely exceed your expectations. There are some flaws, and unanswered questions -- like, what happened to Myrtle? -- but, "Terror House" is too fun to pass up.Linda Gillen (as Regina McKee) plays a sweet, adorable lead character; and, doesn't she have a great arrangement of The Beatles' "White Album" photos on her dorm wall? John Neilson (as "Baby" John Smith) is just as adorable, albeit touched; love him licking his finger after going for the bottle of after dinner brandy. It's a wonder neither Ms. Gillen nor Mr. Neilson became better known; they certainly had the hair to succeed through the 1980s.Players in tasty supporting roles include overeating Margaret Avery (as Edwina), hortophile Arthur Space (as Henry), and well-read Janet Wood (as Pamela). But, the best of all may be marvelous "Grandma" Mary Jackson (as Evelyn Smith); her performance definitely is one to savor. Like Ms. Jackson says, "Don't be a party pooper!" Mind your "Grandma", and give yourself a big helping of "Terror House". ****** Terror House (1972) Bud Townsend ~ Linda Gillen, John Neilson, Mary Jackson

Hitchcoc A couple of the people in this movie can act. The rest are just abysmal. There are so many unresolved issues and so much lack of information that the whole thing drops from its own weight. It's the kind of story that might have been featured in one of those Creepshow episodes or some old anthology thing. As a movie, it gets caught in the sludge. A young college student is tricked into going on a vacation, all expenses paid. She even gets to travel in a private jet. Where do these people get all the money. Unfortunately, when she gets there, she is staying with a group of people who eat their guests. About one third of the movie takes place at a dinner table. Of course, our being in on it makes it repulsive. The young woman tries to get away, but does a bad job of it. Of course, the grandpa cares about his plants a bit. There's also the handsome psychotic grandson who likes girls but doesn't want to mess up the menu. If this sounds dumb, I'm not giving it half its due. There was a certain atmosphere about late sixties/early seventies schlock horror. Maybe it's the smell of cheap. Anyway, nothing much to recommend this.

brandonsites1981 This review applies to the 83min. version released by Academy Entertainment titled Terror at Red Wolf Inn.Young college student wins a free vacation to a country inn, but the weird behavior of the owners and the fact that the guest keep disappearing cause her to suspect something is going on. Amusing early entry in the Cannibalism genre. Film never takes itself too serious, but is too tame to be effective.Rated PG; Mild Violence, Adult Themes.
