- Synopsis:
Unspeakable things happened at the Vannacutt Psychiatric Institute for the Criminally Insane - experiments that brought human torture to new depths of depravity. Secrets that died with their victims and the practitioners of the demonic acts that masqueraded as medicine. Now there are no living witnesses, nothing remains apart from the building in which they occurred. Decades after the Institute was shuttered, five strangers are invited to spend a night there. Their reward is a million dollars each. All they have to do is stay alive. It's going to be a long night. A spine-tingling remake of William Castle's 1958 classic horror tale, combines white-knuckle terror with dark humour and cutting-edge-special effects. - Actors:

Great movie, horrible transfer - House on Haunted Hill review by SB
I loved this movie when it was released and bought it on DVD. I rented this one on Bluray to see how it fared but it actually looks worse than the DVD. Major stuttering going on everywhere. I looked on Amazon to see if it was maybe just this disc was faulty, but no. The 'Three Wolves' release is at fault but apparently the German release is much, much better. I couldn't get past the first few chapters as it gave me a head ache.
But the movie itself is fun with a few twists that some might not see coming. Worth a rent - on DVD, but not bluray
