One by one they will die! Only the killer knows why and how and who is next!

  • Taking its cue from the Gothic sub-genre in Italy, The House That Screamed is a well-done movie with enough intimated perversity to make exploitation film lovers happy. … It doesn’t move fast but it’s always engaging, thanks to a fine cast, and if you stick around long enough you’ll find it time well spent. The ending is pure exploitation gold!

    Danny Shipka, Perverse Titillation: The Exploitation Cinema of Italy, Spain and France, 1960-1980 (McFarland, 2011)
