This week’s throwback trailer is for the 1971 horror movie house dripping blood. I’m a fan of horror anthology movies directed by Peter Duffieldwhich is based on a collection of short stories Robert Bloch.
The film revolves around four eerie stories, all centered around a mysterious house where strange and terrifying events occur.
The first story, “A Method of Murder,” tells the story of a horror writer whose fictional killer seems to come to life.
In the second story, “The Wax Museum,” two friends are haunted by a wax figure that bears a disturbing resemblance to a woman they both once loved.
The third story, “Sweet to Sweet,” tells the story of an overbearing father and his fear of his daughter, whom he suspects of practicing witchcraft.
The final story, “The Cloak,” follows an egotistical actor who purchases a cloak for his role as a vampire, only to discover that the garment has supernatural powers.
Every segment of the film operates in the realm of psychological horror, blurring the lines between reality and the supernatural. The connective tissue of the plot is the investigation of the house and its strange history by Scotland Yard detectives, revealing the eerie connection between the tenants and the sinister nature of the house.
The movie has a very atmospheric storyline and a great cast that includes horror icons such as Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing, house dripping blood Offering a chilling blend of gothic horror and mystery.
