a director and his crew head out to the isolated beal mansion and to make a low budget horror film about the seven mysterious death of the beal family that have occur there in the last century . even with warning by the caretaker and the director pay no attention to the supposedly cursed house . one of the crew find a book title tibetan book of the dead and and use some of the passage from it for their script . but in do so and when red they raise a ghoul from it grave . boring and confusing and tacky all roll up into one and equal this penniless midnight horror production . what feel like an eternity and it just never seem to get go or demonstrate anything effective from somewhat decent idea . even though director paul harrison clunky and tensionless direction do construct a couple eerie and moody and atmospheric set piece . but laziness do set it early . the whole film within a film structure take up most of the movie and in this time little to nothing happens of great interest . nor be it fun . think of bob clark child shouldn not play with dead thing ( 1972 ) and and now we have get old actor in the part . however i find seven corps to be inferior . the script early on have some cut wit abound and before it end up be drab and predictable and leave with many unfulfilled possibility . the cheap foundation involve limited set do not help matter either and but the mansion dreary and dark appearance have a creepy air to it . performance from a recognizable b cast be mainly rigid . john carradine in small part mainly lurk about . john ireland play a hot head director and faith domergue wash up actress demand attention and charles macaulay ham it up . the slow grinding premise be cross between ten little indian and your usual zombie set up . however it not all that engage and even with it occult and supernatural edge . hell they even throw in some graveyard action and with no prevail . when the rot ghoul make it appearance finally and but a bit late . it do get a little good and if very baffle . just like the inspired opening and the end be deliciously downbeat . to bad in between and it constantly drag . continuity in many scene come across non existent and and the death scene be more exciting and bloodier ( but indeed poorly execute ) in the movie theyre making and then what actually happen to them when the zombie appear . the generic music score flounder on with it shuddery and but frank gothic cue and and the camera work be blandly stag with a lack of imagination . shoot and frame . shoot and frame . job do . that a wrap .
