If you like creepy, morbid 70's horror, this is your movie. Karen Black is the scariest woman ever.

I saw it on tv about two weeks ago and thought that it was pretty good. It wasn't scary though until the last five minutes. The ending creeped me out, big time!

Is this the movie where the "old lady" lived upstairs in a locked room, I think Karen Blacks character would leave food in the outside room?? If so i saw this movie on TV many years ago when I was a youngster and it scared the crap out of me

I rented this after hearing all the good things people say about it - I`m sorry, I was not very impressed.

I saw it years ago, and have been looking for a copy to add to my collection ever since. I remember good performances from Karen Black, Oliver Reed and Burgess Meredith, and I've always loved the "self-reviving house" storyline. Relying on my stodgy old memory, I'd recommend it. It does have some pretty creepy scenes in it, especially Black's increasing fascination with the old woman in the upstairs room.

Bit of trivia: this film was created and produced by Dan Curtis, the same man who gave us the original "Dark Shadows" vampire soap opera.
