house of seven corpses (1974)


"Get the blood all over you."
A horror film is being made in a house where seven real murders were committed. The film re-enacts these murders, much to the annoyance of the caretaker (John Carradine). As the murders were occult related the director (John Ireland) tries to make the witchcraft elements as realistic as possible, maybe too realistic when the cast start being killed one by one.
Lacks a certain something for the first hour, concentrating on the mundanity of film making, but finally kicks in, and notches up the excitement for the last half hour.
