a copy of umberto lenzi ghosthouse be lie at the bottom of my closet for almost ten year now . i know i would see it once and but i couldn not remember much of it . so last night i decide to watch it again . and and honestly and i do not know why i do not remember anything of it . because this be one memorable bad movie . pretty bad italian haunt house rubbish . if this be umberto lenzi shot at make american movie and then he blow it big time . now and the first two murder in the prologue of the movie be actually quite good . typical brutal italian style and a bit classic in a way . but then flash forward 20 year or so and and all go down the drain . laughingly bad . a radio operator hear the most unconvincing cry for help ever on his radio . he and his girlfriend discover the origin of the transmission . it seem to come from an abandon house . some youngster be spend the weekend there in the yard with their trailer van . et voilà and enough meat for the grinder a the house appear to be possess by a girl and her doll ( who die 20 year ago ) . there a lot of silly dialogue . but the dubbing be rather good and i must say . i think they mainly use the actor real voice . although there one girl ( i think it lara wendel ) which have such a thick accent and you can hardly understand a word she say . there also that stupid joke black guy who serve absolutely no purpose ( except get kill ) . and do not get me start about that annoy nursery rhyme . however and there be some amuse stuff go on ( but there no logic to it whatsoever and of course ) . there one guy that suddenly fall into a lake of milk ( . ) in the basement ( kinda cool ) . when he crawl out and his girlfriend mistakingly take him for an oozing zombie and stab him to death with a pair of hedge scissors . hahaha and i have some fun with that . the old caretaker be a hoot too . he suppose to be half cripple and but he manage to chase almost every single girl that cross his path . and then that tomb on the graveyard and that look from the outside like a hobbit house . it have electricity in it . there a night lamp that still seem to work after 20 year . and the girl corpse doesn not show any decomposing sign after 20 year of rot away . and can someone explain to me what be up with that ghost dog . bark a few time and doesn not do anything . and then vanishes . nothing make any sense in this movie . but the end be good though represent bus of death and hèhèhèhè . so this movie be worth watch once and because it pretty hilarious . some death scene be mildly amusing and and i must say that some sequence succeed barely in be scary ( the washing machine in the basement and some scene with the doll ) and but in the end it just a bunch of silly and illogical nonsense . i haven not see a lot of umberto lenzi movie ( i have only see cannibal ferox and nightmare city and which i both enjoy ) and but to me it seem he just a mediocre italian director when it come to horror movie . fan of lenzi might wan na check out ghosthouse ( that what they will do anyway ) and but if youre just begin to discover italian horror cinema and then go with stuff from argento and bava and soavi and fulci .
