house by the cemetery (1981)

aka Quella villa accanto al cimitero. The House Outside the Cemetery. The House by the Cemetery. Zombie Hell House.
A young woman and her boyfriend are murdered in an old house. Several months later Norman and Lucy Boyle (Paolo Malco and Catriona MacColl) and their son Bob (Giovanni Frezzi) move into the old Freudstein house, in order to finish his research project. A house previous occupied by one of Normans ex-colleagues, who committed suicide after murdering his mistress. There follows the usual mysterious events, as people warn them about the house and talk of Dr Freudstein who conducted experiments in the house. Warnings and premonitions which they obviously ignore. But what are those noises and why is the cellar door locked and barred?
A standard gore-fest horror, that is somewhat disrupted by unexplained events and dialogue, in this semi-incoherent film. Not to mention the supposedly intelligent characters who show all the common sense of a brick! Bob keeps seeing a girl who warns him not to go in the house. There's an insolent babysitter, premonitions, warnings, a tomb in the living room floor, (even though they are next door to a cemetery), a boarded up cellar, and bloody deaths. Any one else would have run to the hills, but not this lot! But then the plot is really only there to get you to the gore.
