[Film Review] The Old Dark House (1932) 6.7/10
Riding on the coattail of FRANKENSTEIN (1931), UK director James Whale tosses off this single-location mansion horror, THE OLD DARK HOUSE, once considered being lost, and would be remade by William Castle in 1963, casually melds a spine-tingling Gothic horror horror with light divertissement.

The atmosphere at the beginning of the film is great, even the first 40 minutes are great. But it seems that the budget is not enough or the time does not allow it to be so long, the ending is very hasty and kuso...

Rebecca Femm: Horace what are you doing? We aren't all heathens!
Horace Femm: [Mockingly] Oh I had forgotten my sister's strange tribal habits. The beef will seem less tough when she has invoked a blessing upon it.
Rebecca Femm: Horace Femm, if i cant hear i can see. You're blaspheming.
Horace Femm: On the contrary, my dear Rebecca, I was merely telling your wondering guests that you were about to thank your Gods for their bounty.
Rebecca Femm: That'll do... I know your mocking, lying tongue.
Horace Femm: ...To thank them for the health and prosperity and happiness granted to this family, for its years of peace and plenty, to thank them for having created Rebecca Femm, and Roderick Femm, and Saul...
Rebecca Femm: Stop!

Horace Femm: As my sister hints, there are, I'm afraid, no beds.
