Truly Dreadful Film

Awesome Movie

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

By any standard I can think of, I cannot call Haunted House much more than a below average movie. First, there is no haunted house in Haunted House. Instead, there is a fairly normal house where a murder took place. Jimmie Atkins (Jackie Moran) and Millie Henshaw (Marcia Mae Jones) are convinced the wrong man has been convicted of the murder. The pair begin investigating, only to come up with a couple of false leads. Thanks to dumb luck, they conveniently find themselves in the right place at the right time and solve the crime.As a rule, I'm not a fan of calling a movie "outdated". I'd rather try to look at a film in the context of the time it was made. With Haunted House, it was probably outdated when it was made. Other movies made in 1940 like Rebecca, Foreign Correspondent, and His Girl Friday make Haunted House feel "old" in comparison. I usually go for these older mystery movies, but there's not a lot of mystery in this one. With only three or four characters, it's not hard to spot the one that did it. I much prefer the mystery in something like Charlie Chan at the Wax Museum - also made in 1940. The acting in Haunted House also leaves a lot to be desired. Jackie Moran overacts and overreacts in almost every scene he appears. The rest of the cast is just there and not really memorable - with Marcia Mae Jones being the one exception. And the comedy in Haunted House is anything but funny. The repeated jokes involving Moran's old beater of a car have all the subtlety of a Three Stooges poke in the eye. Overall, Haunted House may be harmless enough, but there are better ways to spend 67 minutes of your life. This one is almost instantly forgettable.

As a previous reviewer pointed out, don't let the title fool you. While this is a good movie, it contains no haunted house, but makes up for it with plenty of suspense. The title and a less than honest summary drew me into the movie, but I was not disappointed, in fact I'm upset that there aren't more great movies like this in circulation today.Jimi Atkins wants to be a reporter, but he isn't thrilled at the way the press is making his friend Olaf out to be a murderer, which he is on trial for. Jimi's about the only person in the town that knows Olaf is innocent, but with all the evidence against him, has little luck in convincing anybody. Then a ray of hope enters when his employer's niece, Mildred, arrives for the summer. After hearing Jimi's stories of Olaf, and seeing him at the courthouse she decides he can't be a murderer after being so nice, and besides that, 'he doesn't look like a murderer'. So now Jimi and Mildred are eager to get on the trail of the real murderer, though in their detection, twice they seem to strike out in finding the real murderer to clear Olaf's name, but they won't give up.They figure out the only place to find evidence that could clear Olaf and lead them to the real killer is in the house of the murder victim, which seems to be inhabited by something or someone else. They find out who the real killer is, and are in a race to find the evidence to back up their story to the newspapers. An exciting murder/mystery that'll have you on the edge of your seat and cheering for the juvenile detectives. 10 out of 10.

A fun film produced to cash in on the popularity of mysteries that swept the late '30's / early '40's. Very well done for an obvious "low budget" b-film. "Want-to-be" reporter and editor's niece do their best to prove innocence of accused murderer. Much circumstantial evidence leads them down several wrong paths, causing frustration and chastizing from elders. Perserverance pays off as they finally convince the law of friend's innocence, surprising everyone with the guilt of the real culprit. Definitely worth viewing.

Don't let the title of this scarce movie fool you. It's not a haunted house movie & it's not an "old dark house" type of movie. It's a simple murder mystery movie with teenage leads. They do spend about 5 of the movie's 70 minutes inside an old spooky house, but that's hardly enough to warrant naming this movie "Haunted House"! Not a bad movie, although a bit redundant. The acting is OK, there's a neat old hot rod, but it's neither juvenile enough to please that movie crowd, nor scary, nor mysterious enough to please those movie crowds. I rate it 5/10 (& that's being a bit generous).
