Sorry, this movie sucks

hyped garbage

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

Starting off with the Joan Fontaine like opening narration from "Rebecca", this little thriller is more mysterious than horrific. There's no real haunted house as the alternate title suggests, only a gloomy old Florida mansion that looks like it could be haunted, yet filled with as much mystery as the young Fontaine found in Manderlay. Delicate flower Cathy O'Donnell has been having issues with nightmares, dreaming about this gloomy mansion she claims she has never been to in her life. Her new husband (Gerald Mohr) is a mysterious sort, rather like Maxim De Winter, and perhaps keeping some secrets that make it appear as if he is "Gaslighting" her. They leave on their honeymoon and when O'Donnell sees the mansion she has been dreaming of when they arrive at their destination, she is instantly horrified. Mohr tells creepy groundskeeper (John Qualen) that they've rented the house, and soon it becomes obvious that he knows something more than he's telling, especially when a distant relative of his (William Ching) shows up and begins to plant ideas in O'Donnell's head that Mohr might be out to kill off the entire family to escape a curse, including her.With its two different titles and the advertising reflecting otherwise, this film might disappoint those looking for another "House on Haunted Hill" or 'The Haunting", but if you go in knowing that this is quite different, you might find yourself intrigued by the various thrills that do pop up in this often slow moving saga. Certainly, the house does look creepy, like a vacation getaway for Katharine Hepburn's "Suddenly Last Summer" character, with its ivy covered frame and the unkempt grounds overgrown with dying palm trees and other vegetation that provides plenty of atmosphere. O'Donnell's character is perhaps a bit too fragile to be believable or for some audiences to take seriously, and Mohr's moody character has various moments where he seems both alternately sane and loco. Qualen gives some depth to his groundskeeper, and is perhaps the most interesting character in the film. Ching is obviously influenced greatly by the George Sanders character in "Rebecca". which makes me wonder how this would have been had there been a Mrs. Danvers like housekeeper who knew all but revealed little.

Sheila Wayne (Kathy O'Donnell) has reoccurring dreams about an old, foreboding house. Recently married, she and her new husband move to Florida. Their house . . . well, it's the house of her nightmares. She quickly learns that this house is a place of evil, a place where bad things have happened. But how did Kathy end up in this house? How is it that her husband just happened to find this house? Who's crazy, who's sane, and what actually happened in the house?Terror in the Haunted House (or My World Dies Screaming - which i prefer) is like cross between Hitchcock's Rebecca and the dreadful The Screaming Skull. Unforutnatley, our movie has more in common with the latter than it does Hitchcock's masterpiece. I'll start by saying it's not the worst movie in the world. This isn't much of an endorsement, but you could certainly do a whole lot worse. But make not mistake, it's still pretty bad. Here's a quick list of some of the things that bothered me:1. Sheila Wayne - The screaming got old real quick. And for a woman in peril, she's not very sympathetic. After a while, I didn't care what happened to her. She was just so annoying and stupid.2. Acting - Some of it is plain old bad. In particular, William Ching gives a totally wooden and unnatural performance. No one talks like that in real life.3. Gerald Mohr - He's a decent enough actor, but he's miscast here. The New York accent really got in the way. No way was I buying the notion he grew up in Florida.4. Predictable - The director does everything he can to throw the viewer off the track regarding who's crazy and who's not. But it's all so obvious that it backfires. I could spot the baddie almost immediately.5. Psycho-Rama - Was William Castle associated with this movie? The constant subliminal images were about as annoying as Sheila Wayne.With all the problems I had with the movie, I think I'm being generous in rating Terror in the Haunted Hiuse a 4/10.

I saw this under the title Terror in the Haunted House. I didn't know anything about this movie and I didn't bother to look up any information about it. So, I presumed it could be some creepy ghost story like The Haunted. But nevertheless I didn't have to disappoint. Well, maybe a little bit because I learned what is the Psycho-Rama and subliminal message in the film.The story first seems simple but as more the movie grows the more peculiar and more complex it goes. It has so much plot twists that even M. Night Shyamalan would be envious. The film builds up the tension and pace so fast that the ending seems to comes too abruptly. And I will go that far and call this movie little bit Hitchcockian. But remind, this is more a suspense-thriller than a horror film. Otherwise it would have been decent movie but those ridiculous subliminal messages(?). Why were they needed anyway?Overall My World Dies Screaming is nice entertaining B-flick with great performances.

Many of the reviews I have read complain that this film is boring or mediocre. I think they are forgetting that it was made in 1958. Considering that, I thought it was very exciting for its time. I certainly loved the acting, but that too is very much in the style of the 50s.It is the plot twists that make the movie worth watching today (That is, for normal people, not just nostalgics like myself.) You know that the woman is not evil, but what about the two men, Phillip and Mark, and that servant Jonah? Just when you think you have them figured out, the movie flips them again. If you follow it, and don't get too easily bored by the 1950s effects and black and white, I think you will be surprised by how it turns out.I gave it 9 out of 10. It was a masterpiece of its time and still entertaining today, though I might suggest watching it more as a mystery/drama than a horror film. My only complaint is the title itself, for I was hoping for a haunted house, but there was nothing supernatural about it. No ghosts or ghouls or anything. Ah yes, and I stopped noticing the 'subliminal messages' about 15 minutes into it. They really serve no purpose.
