Review – Zombie Hell House

So is there some kind of export regulation that requires all Lucio Fulci movies to have the word “zombie” in the title? I guess there’s a zombie creeping around here someplace, but he doesn’t really show up until the end. Most of the rest of the picture plays like an uneven mix of ghost story and slasher movie. Fans of Fulci gore will find a typical but small smattering of it here. Unfortunately, that’s about the only thing this production has going for it. I like bats, so the scene with the bat would have been enough to demote the movie if it hadn’t already firmly seated itself in the basement. And if that wasn’t enough, the last ten to fifteen minutes of the movie is nothing but screaming, shrieking and then more screaming. Honestly, it gave me a headache. I’ve also seen this released as The House by the Cemetery, a slightly more apt title. Wish I’d skipped it
