The House That Dripped Blood

Manchmal frostig, manchmal auch unterhaltsamer Geschichtshorror aus der Umgebung eines seltsamen Hauses, in dem verdächtig oft Blut vergossen wird. Jede Geschichte ist ein Volltreffer, nicht nur dank des dankbaren Ensembles von Cushing - Lee, sondern auch aufgrund der Vielfalt der einzelnen Segmente, der Ironie und der schönen Amicus-Atmosphäre. Persönlich haben mir die letzten beiden am besten gefallen... Eine Pflichtlektüre nicht nur für Sammler. (16.03.2012)

One of the best anthology films that I’ve had the honour of watching, but still not enough for five stars. (31.12.2010)

I'm very strict with my ratings on older horror films, but here I have to overrate, this is definitely one of the best anthology horror films ever. Surprisingly none of the stories have gore or scares, but you can tell there are very intelligent people behind this and every single story has a perfect final twist that it will make your throat dry. The highlight is the third story that combines witchcraft with an evil child, an excellent idea. It sizzles with tension throughout and there's no shortage of dark humor at times. Original, intelligent, suspenseful, entertaining, great. 85%. (16.04.2015)

The House That Dripped Blood has a great atmosphere, or rather, each story has an excellent atmosphere. It's a pity that the themes presented here have simply aged. Acting-wise, the film is excellent and the actors here don't just do their standard job, they really try to make the stories give you chills. At times, it succeeds, even considering how old the film is. (02.06.2016)
