The Old Dark House (1932)



Seeking shelter from a storm, five travelers are in for a bizarre and terrifying night when the stumble upon the Femm family estate.

Wildly entertaining horror classic with a great star cast skillfully mixing the scares with humour.

Halliwell****: "Marvellous horror comedy filled with superb grotesques and memorable lines, closely based on a Priestley novel but omitting the more thoughtful moments. A stylist's and connoisseur's treat."

Maltin***1/2: "Outstanding melodrama (with tongue-in-cheek)...A real gem..."
