"7/4 - Part of the Netflix Instant Project of 2013
A ghoulish haunted house party only Vincent Price could pull! He calls strangers to a real haunted house, then proceeds to give everyone a loaded gun because hey, why not? Survivors get cash, corpses remain dead. The only real disappointment here is the eventual revelation that the story is really just a ploy to get something done rather than have, you know, actual ghosts in there.

"A millionaire - played wonderfully by Vincent Price - invites five people of varying positions and personalities to stay a night at his haunted house, for a monetary reward.

Not a great film by any means, but a definitive "must-see" of the horror genre. (N)
