Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Another film from the Drive-in 50-pack collection. It's under the name "The Murder Mansion" in the pack. It's actually one of the better films in the collection. The movie is far from outstanding but it's actually a decent film. A pleasant surprise in the collection - it is entertaining. It's a horror-thriller with a bit of mystery thrown in. Worth watching if you ever happen to find it on TV or in a movie pack.A group of people get blinded by the thick, thick fog... they cannot drive further. They end up in a creepy mansion and wind up staying the night there. The owner tells them some weird stories and strange things begin to happen. Is it ghosts? Is it vampires? You'll have to watch to find out.Good story to watch late at night.6.5/10

This minor and bargain-bin budget entry in the "travelers gathered in creepy mansion" genre is surprisingly good and effective.A bunch of characters wind up spending the night in a Gothic home near a cemetery, where legends about the undead abound. The film isn't very adept at introducing us to these people in a way that makes it clear who they are and how they're related to one another, but the only thing that's important anyway is that one of them is the wealthy wife of a dissatisfied husband with serious daddy issues and a history of nervous breakdowns. She's convinced that she saw a giant man dressed as a butler joined by an old woman lurking in the cemetery, a story that the hostess is only too happy to corroborate with her own tales about the dark and eerie history that surrounds the place. People start dying, a couple of the more curious house guests suspect that something's afoot and go investigating, and there you have your movie.By the time the film is over, it's more mystery than horror movie, but it's fairly cleverly plotted for the kind of movie it is, and it does manage to effect a couple of genuinely creepy moments. Keep in mind that this is super low budget obscure cinema we're talking about here, so everything is relative, but within that narrow definition, this film isn't half bad.Listed at IMDb as "Maniac Mansion," but the version I saw was titled "Murder Mansion."Grade: B

Unusual and likable Spanish/Italian co-production that plays something like a seventies Spanish, Old Dark House with giallo elements. Split more or less into three parts, the beginning takes place on the road, the middle introduces us to all the varied peoples holed up in the mansion in the fog and the final 25minutes are pretty wild action all the way. In truth there is nothing particularly violent or sexual but all the ladies are lovely, we really don't know what's going on any more than they do and we care enough to stick with it to find out. Worth it? Yes, I reckon so, it's just that little bit different and even the 'posh' English dubbing seems to help the strangeness that permeates the whole film.

After reading some of the comments about 1972's The Murder Mansion, I came to the conclusion that there must be a version of this Spanish/Italian production that has good acting, an interesting script and plot, impressive camera-work and color, and a general feeling of competency.I got the other one, the 90-odd-minute, grade Z-minus, horrendously dubbed, amateur-hour horror, along with the other cheap stuff I picked up at the dollar store.Oh, well. The flip side of the disk had How Awful About Allan, which made up for this cinematic foolishness.And I got an eight-pack of triple-A's for a buck, too!
