Dark House (Fangoria Frightfest)

Sometimes horror just needs to be good cheesy fun and DARK HOUSE does this in spades. It is a riot of contrived plot devices, a bit of a rip off of THE HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL and is helped along by Jeffrey Combs stellar hammy performance and some other good turns despite the cliched character types. The set design and art direction is brilliant capturing the cartoonish over the top feel of a Halloween haunted house. It's a film that's easy to be forgiving of but equally easy to forget.

DARK HOUSE makes Happy Horror Hard On semi-erect.
