Watch Elvira's Haunted Hills For Free

Such a frustrating disappointment

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Elvira's Haunted Hills is meant to be kinda cheesy, tongue-in-cheek, well, quite awful. Really I can't technically give it a fair review whilst taking it seriously so I'll rate it for what it is: a trashy, cheesy bit of fun.Without being too insulting, this is more of a Z-Movie than a B-Movie and never takes itself too seriously. There are loads of cheap laughs, mainly from jokes that are older than when the film is set but the amount of 'boob jokes' is a little too high.To be honest, there is a story somewhere here, the tried and tested mystery in a haunted house plot, but it just serves as filler time for the quickly delivered and often weak jokes. The 'dubbing' joke that starts at around the half-hour mark is quite a funny one but it goes on for a little too long.In truth, Elvira's Haunted Hills takes advantage of its audience's expectation of a deliberately bad movie a little too much, the abysmally bad acting and cheap one-liners frequently make you wonder what the filmmakers were thinking.Cringe-worthy aspects aside it's not such a bad movie for a night in with friends, so long as you're drinking something. The lighting and production values are higher than other movies of its budget and the few special effects used look more convincing than I expected. Although the musical interlude is random and full of cheap sexual innuendos it does bring entertainment back to he film for the first time in over twenty minutes. The entertaining scenes are far and few really and at around halfway through you're ready to watch something else.Having not seen the first Elvira movie: Elvira, Mistress of the Dark I can't really compare the two but if its anywhere near as painful as this I'd be thankful not to see it ever.http://ukmore.tk/

ELVIRA'S HAUNTED HILLS (2001)directed by: Sam Irvinstarring: Cassandra Peterson, Richard O'Brien, Mary Scheer, and Scott Atkinsonplot: Elvira (Cassandra Peterson) travels with her maid Zou Zou (Mary Jo Smith) through Carpathia in 1851 on her way to a show in Paris. Along the way, they decide to take refuge at a castle belonging to Lord Vlademiere Hellsubus (Richard O'Brien) and his wife Ema (Mary Scheer). Also in the castle are Vlademiere's doctor (Scott Atkinson), niece (Heather Hopper), and stable master (Gabriel Andronache), who Elvira can not keep her hands off of. Ten years ago, Vlademiere's wife Ellura supposedly committed suicide and he believes her ghost is haunting him, but Elvira discovers that there is much more going on.my thoughts: I could not wait to see Elvira's follow up to her first film ELVIRA, MISTRESS OF THE DARK. Elvira is definitely my favorite celebrity and she never fails to amuse me with her look and her sense of humor.This time, instead of spoofing Roger Corman witchcraft movies, HAUNTED HILLS spoofs 50's hammer horror films, mostly starring Vincent Price and taking place in an old dark castle in England. This film does a very good job at that, making the film look cheesy yet dark and atmospheric, even though the castle looks fake.The jokes are hilarious - we got boob jokes again, Richard O'Brien hilariously over acting, and a lot of references to modern times which are only funny because Elvira is in 1851. The Village People are among many references to the times where Elvira is really from. We also have a foreign character with very bad dubbing, on purpose of course.The supporting cast is perfect. Richard O'Brien purposely over acts to make his character even funnier, it worked; Mary Scheer is great at playing the bitchy wife with something to hide; Scott Atkinson is very over the top and it works; Mary Jo Smith is slightly amusing as Elvira's maid but her character is kind of pointless; Heather Hopper does good as the 'catalepsy poster child'; and Gabriel Andronache's bad dubbing and funny face expressions are hilarious.But then the final 20 minutes focuses way too much on the story over the jokes and the entire climax is way too overlong. At least we get some pit and pendulum fun and a funny little TITANIC joke.If you're an Elvira fan, check this out. If not, don't bother. I personally love Elvira and don't see how anyone couldn't.

Elvira! What can one say? Well for starters, this movie is a wonderful tribute to one of the Kings of horror and suspense films – Vincent Price. I think he would have found this tribute to be hilarious and well representative of the genre he so magnificently sharpened through the 40-70's.This take was filmed in Romania on an admittedly `low' budget. Of course, ultimately, this is one of the things that make this movie a classic. Elvira is at the top of her game in this movie.Having finally gotten a gig in Paris, Elvira and her maid (unpaid for quite some time and, showing the attitude of someone who hasn't been…) are on the way to Paris to open the act when they get sidestepped in Romania. To any fans of Vincent Price films, the rest of the story is a combination of such thrillers as `Pit & the pendulum' & `House of Ushers' with a taste of our heroine Elvira tossed in.Check out the Herculean translation job used with the Fabio-like `Stable-Stud'. Fans of Mad TV will recognize Mary Scheer (Cabana Chat) as the the adulteress Lady Ema Hellsubus. The movie boasts a terrific - albeit short - musical number which tells the story of Elvira's past. It's a wonderful tribute to the Paris Can-Can.Overall, this movie will be enjoyed by fans of Vincent Price or Elvira. You'll find yourself laughing, snickering and remembering those scary films of your childhood!

Whether or not you like this movie pretty much depends on what you think of Elvira. I've been an admirer since the late 80s, her look, and campy sense of humor has always appealed to me. The movie is pretty silly, and low budget, but if your an Elvira fan, then you wouldn't want it any other way. I saw this at a charity screening in Dallas, and Cassandra Petersen appeared and introduced the movie, answered questions, and signed autographs. She wasn't dressed as Elvira, she was just there as herself, I got to speak to her for a few minutes, and she signed a picture for me, she is still absolutely gorgeous, and a very sweet woman. She and her husband had to finance the movie themselves, the only deal the studios would offer wouldn't have allowed them to make any kind of profit from the movie, so if your a fan, then buy the DVD, you'll enjoy it, and if your not a fan, then buy it anyway, you can always look at Elviras "hills", that's worth the price alone.
