Rating: 4 stars
Summary: underated
Review: This is a very underated film. When i first saw it i thought it was stupid and pointless. But then i saw it again a few years later and changed my mind.The story is ok and the acting is average and like most Lucio Fulci films is there is plenty of gore. If you are looking for a good horror film, this would be a good choice.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Um.
Review: This movie is alright, but I wouldn't pay $17.98 for it. It's confusing and the acting is bad, which is somewhat on par for a Fulci film. Unforunately, there isn't enough gore to offset these factors.

I got it in the Horror Rises from the Grave set w/ 3 other movies for $7.

It's worth seeing, but the only really memorable scene is the ver first one.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: House By The Cemetery Delivers!!
Review: This was the first Lucio Fulci film I've had the pleasure of viewing! I look forward to seeing his other works! The House by the Cemetery hits on all points of a horror movie! It's creepy, eerie and has some awesome killing scenes and GORE!! They don't call Lucio "The godfather of gore" for nothing! The acting? Well, sub-par at best. Plot? Interesting, but not deep. The dubbing well it's pretty bad but who cares it's a great horror film.

The Boyle family move from their cramped New York apartment into an old mansion near Boston so that the father can do some needed research. The new tenants, unbeknownst to them, have a god awful secret living in their basement. A certain Dr. Freudstein has been housed below since 1879 and has kept himself alive by murdering inhabitants of the mansion and using their cells to keep his body going. Gore, horror, and great special effects makes a visit to the House by the Cemetery a killer stay! A knife through the skull, nice throat ripping and slashing, decapatation, and some maggot spewing make for a "pleasurable" movie for the avid horror fan.

We all know horror movies aren't supposed to be deep with Academy Award winning acting. If we wanted that we wouldn't be watching this type of film. I can't compare this film to Fulci's other works because I haven't seen any others, but to me this was impressive and one I would recommend to fans of the genre!!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Boring
Review: Why is it that Fulci fans are so die hard and fail to admit that the director didn't even make a decent horror film? After hearing so much about his films when i was a teen, and seeing all his gory make up on Fangoria magazines, i decided to finally rent some of his stuff. Was i ever disappointed, this film is ludicrous, mainly because it doesn't even resemble a horror film. Most of the time is wasted on back drop information that leads up to a banal climax.
