If you are a fan of the Hammer films of the 60s and 70s, you will probably enjoy this quartet of well-done horror stories. The set up - a Scotland Yard detective is investigating the disappearance of a film actor. The house (which actually doesn't drip blood) that the actor was renting has a history of mysterious and unfortunate events, which are related to the detective by a local policeman. The first story involves a writer who begins to question his sanity when he begins to be haunted by the serial-killer character he is writing about. Story two (my least favorite) involves a man drawn to a wax figure that looks like a woman he loved. The third installment has Christopher Lee as a father whose daughter has a sinister secret. And finally, the final story that gets the whole plot rolling - an egotistical actor playing a vampire and the cloak that turns him into an actual vampire. The film, in vibrant color, has good production values and sets and is a lot of fun.

Great movie of this genre from this time. It has a similar vibe to Night Gallery episodes, only set in England, down to the classic haunted house set decoration. Mild shock alert, and perhaps a spoiler? Some of the men's outfits are as haunting as the plot.

I wish it was a series, and like Dark Shadows, had 1,500 episodes.

3.0 out of 5 stars Mediocre Amicus Movie with a Decent Release
Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2018
Verified Purchase
This review is for the Blu-Ray edition of 'The House That Dripped Blood' released by Shout! Factory in 2018.

For anybody looking at this for the first time, this is a British horror movie made in 1971. The title is misleading and I give my reasons down below in the 'PRODUCTION/COMMENTS' section.

This is a Blu-Ray upgrade of the previous release.

If your new to these types of movies, this is a anthology movie produced by Amicus Pictures, one of several that were made during the 60's & 70's. Opinions differ as to the qualilty and I am of the opinion that this was not among the better ones. That's not to say it was terrible, I just think they had better efforts. As any fan of these movies knows, Amicus competed, if you want to call it that, with Hammer Productions during the time period for the horror fan movie-going dollar.

BLU-RAY: I'll give the transfer a 5 out of 10. The picture was pretty clean with just a few specks showing up here and there. It seems like most of the English horror pictures that are transferred are not all that sharp. I am no expert in film quality and cinematography and just go by what I see. For comparison, if I take a typical transfer from an American made film like many of the Roger Corman movies, they seem much sharper and clearer and crisper by comparison. I don't know why that is. I'm sure this can be answered by people knowledgeable in cinematography. It's very possible that it is because of the equipment used to film the movie. I used to think that it was the source material causing this and/or maybe the negatives weren't as good but I no longer think that since it seems to be the same case for any movies from the time period. The picture is in 1080p High-Definition Widescreen (1.85:1).

EXTRA'S: There are two commentary tracks. One with film historian Troy Howarth , the other with Director Peter Duffell and author Jonathan Rigby
-Featurette - A-Rated Horror Film - This is essentially a making of documentary.
-There is an interview with assistant Director, Mike Higgins that is about 10 minutes.

PLOT/SUMMARY: This movie is shot in anthology format with four short stories and a framing story. They are as follows:

Framing Story: Detective Inspector Holloway from Scotland Yard travels to an English village to look for a missing actor named Paul Henderson (Jon Pertwee). He is told by the local Sergeant that unusual events at a local country house have led to the disappearance along with some other strange occurrences and gives him the case file. Holloway gets the keys to the property from realtor, A.J. Stoker after hearing the stories of the unusual occurrences. It is evening and the realtor asks him not to go over there until morning. Holloway dismisses the realtor's concerns. He heads to the property and once inside the house breaks open a bolted door. He goes down to the basement to learn his fate.
1) "Method For Murder" - Charles Hillyer (Denholm Elliott) is a horror story writer who has writer's block. He decides to rent a country home for a few months. He comes up with an idea for a story about an insane killer who escapes from
an asylum. He draws a sketch of the fictional killer and shows it to his wife. He then puts it in his desk drawer. Shortly thereafter he starts having visions of the killer. His wife tells him he is overworked and to seek some professional help. He gets help but the visions continue.
2) "Waxworks" - A retired stockbroker, Philip Grayson (Peter Cushing) needs a quiet place where he can keep himself busy with his hobbies. While walking around town he comes across a horror wax museum. He goes inside and sees a waxwork of a woman called 'Salome' who has cut off the head of her lover and put it on a plate. Salome reminds Grayson of a deceased woman who he was in love with. The proprietor says that the woman was his wife and that she was executed. Grayson's friend, Neville Rogers stops by for a chat while on business. He passes by the museum and insists on going in. He sees Salome and is reminded of the same woman the Grayson loved. Apparently, the two friends were in love with the same woman and she died. Rogers says he is leaving town but ends up going back to the museum. Grayson discovers this and goes to confront Rogers.
3) "Sweets to the Sweet" - John Reid and his daughter Jane are looking for privacy. Reid has hired a private teacher, Ann Norton to tutor his daughter. Jon will not allow his daughter to be with other children. He also does not allow Jane to have any toys to play with. When Ann asks Jon about Jane's mother, he tells her that Jane is the 'spitting image' of her and that he is glad that she is dead. He refuses to tell Ann the reasons for his seemingly cruel behavior, only that she will learn in time.
4) "The Cloak" - Actor, Paul Henderson (Jon Pertwee), and his girlfriend/co-star Carla, are in town to make a movie. Paul, playing a vampire, is dissatisfied with the budget and thinks his costume is too cheap and modern looking. He finds a costume shop in town and the proprietor has just what he is looking for. He gives him a genuine looking cloak and strangely tells Paul that he can now finally close the shop. When Paul returns to the set and puts the cloak on, strange things happen. He can't see his reflection in his mirror and he has the urge to bite his co-star while shooting a scene. Later he realizes he can fly with the cloak on. Paul realizes he can't wear the cloak anymore but Carla tells him he is being ridiculous and insists on him putting it on.

PRODUCTION/COMMENTS: 'The House That Dripped Blood' was made in 1971. The screenplay is written by famed writer Robert Bloch (Psycho). The director was Peter Duffell.

WHAT DOES THIS HOUSE HAVE TO DO WITH DRIPPING BLOOD?: I do not like the title of this movie at all and I think that the title is sensational but very misleading. The director wanted to call the movie 'Death and the Maiden' after the music that is playing in one episodes. The reasons for my opinion that the title is a bad choice are as follows:

1) This is essentially a bloodless movie. Despite having vampires and axe murderers, you don't really see blood. The 'house' certainly does not drip blood.
2) The house in not a haunted house nor is it a 'villain' the way haunted houses are in other movies and shows. The house doesn't do anything. It doesn't creek or make noises and there are no ghosts or other paranormal things going on. It doesn't give you bad dreams or doors don't open and close. It doesn't have any personality whatsoever. You never get the feeling that the house is sinister in any way.
3) The stories themselves often have nothing to do with the house and in most cases the results would have been the same even if the people involved moved elsewhere. For example:
-In 'Method for Murder', Denholm Elliot's wife was plotting against him anyway.
-In 'Waxworks', Almost none of the story takes place in the House. All the important stuff takes place in the wax museum.
-In 'Sweets to Sweet', Christopher Lee's kid was already a problem and the end result would have been the same no matter where he moved.
-In 'The Cloak', The cloak was purchased at store and Jon Pertwee's girlfriend was already a vampire before they got to the house.
4) The screenplay goes out of it's way at the end to give you an explanation as to why the house was to blame and what it's secret was but even that reason rang hollow. It seemed forced and didn't really make much sense at all.

-Even the framing story, 'Frameworks' had nothing to do with the house. The result would have been the same no matter where the detective looked if he had gone in the evening.
-Ultimately they could have changed things to make the House the focus but I have to wonder if that was the original title.

OTHER PRODUCTION/COMMENTS:

-Like most Amicus pictures. This one features quite a few stars from the time. It was Asylum's policy to get 'name' actors to sign on for a short period of time and give them top billing. In this case we have Hammer Horror stars Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing and Ingrid Pitt. Also, Denholm Elliott and Jon Pertwee (Dr. Who) star in their episodes.
-The realtor, Stoker (yep, that's his name), makes a big deal about not going in the house after midnight and to wait till morning but it would have made no difference what time of evening it was. For vampires, it just has to be past sundown and before sunup.
-Today's newer generations will probably not like these stories too much. Especially since the plots of the short stories have been recycled innumerable times. There is nothing really all that surprising in any of the stories and they are all predictable. To me that was the biggest problem. I found that I could predict every single thing that was going to happen. There were virtually no surprises (except for perhaps Ingrid Pitt's revelation).

CONCLUSIONS: Of the four short stories presented, I think the fourth, "The Cloak" was easily the best. The
second, "Waxworks" was the worst. My opinion on each short story is as follows:

Framing Story)"Framework" Nothing special here. Like most everything else in this movie. Predictable.
1)"Method for Murder." I did not like this story at all and was bored with it. I feel like I've seen that story 100 times at least. It was completely predictable and they gave away the "surprise" twist too early so it wasn't a surprise. Better direction would have helped.
2)"Waxworks" was simply awful. It was completely unbelievable and just ridiculous and the characters didn't behave in a believable way. In addition, they didn't flesh out the story. They should have at least gone into more depth about the reason for the friction between the two friends. This was a waste of Peter Cushing's talent.
3)"Sweets to the Sweet" was the one story that I felt had some real potential. It was not bad. In the documentary included they pointed out how Lee's reputation helped because the audience believed that he was the bad guy all along. This is the type of story that could have been made into a pretty good movie with a surprise reveal if done right.
4)"The Cloak" This was done well even if it was a bit off-beat (and despite the wires being obvious when the actors were flying). This episode was the only one that wasn't completely predictable. Ingrid Pitt's role caught me off guard and let's be realistic here, for a guy, it's great to see Ingrid Pitt, a truly beautiful woman.

RECOMMENDATIONS: I'm giving this 3 stars. I don't love this movie and I'm giving it 2 1/2 stars and I'm adding a 1/2 star because it has two commentary tracks.

Recommended for all fans of English horror, especially fans of 60's & 70's horror.
Obviously recommended for fans of Amicus Pictures and Hammer Horror.

This is a review for the Limited Edition, 1 disc, Region B blu ray release from Second Sight Films, running time 102 minutes.
As this limited Edition is OOP (out of print) it is currently priced between £50.00 and £100.00.

Optional English subtitles for the hard of hearing.

The first thing you notice is how solid the thick hard box is, and the stunning new artwork.
The box contains one single blu ray case, a double sided poster and a 40 page collectors booklet.
This is another smart looking release from Second Sight.
A great Edition to Amicus and Horror shelves.
That said if I were to be super critical my only gripe would be that the blu ray itself is the exact same disc and case that you can buy on its own for around £10.00. Same reversible sleeve, same special features and same cut of the film.
So you are in fact paying £40.00 + for a hard box, poster and booklet.
Lovely as they are that's a lot of cash. Meaning this one fits squarely in the "for collectors" bracket.
Being OOP will always drive the price up, so worth considering if it's worth it to you.

Wer die Filme aus den Hammer Studios mag, dem dürften auch die Werke aus der Amicus-Schmiede gefallen.
Bei "The House that Dripped Blood" handelt es sich um einen Episodenfilm, der 1970 unter der Regie von Peter Duffell entstand.
Den Rahmen für die vier Episoden des Films bildet natürlich das titelgebende Haus. Inhaltlich geht es um einen Serienkiller, der von einem Autor "herbeigeschrieben" wird; eine Wachsfigur der "Salome", die frisches Blut fordert; ein KIndemädchen mit einem unheimlichen Schützling und einem Vampircape mit besonderen Eigenschaften.
Es sollte noch erwähnt werden, dass die beiden "Top-Hammer-Schauspieler" Peter Cushing und Christopher Lee mit von der Partie sind und sich Robert Bloch (der einige Drehbücher für Amicus, aber auch das zu Hitchcocks'"Psycho" schrieb)für das Drehbuch verantwortlich zeichnet.
Der Film bietet also alles für einen Fan des gepflegten, etwas altmodischen Horrorgenuss.
Die Ausstattung und Qualität der DVD geht in Bezug zum Alter des Films auch völlig in Ordnung.
Fans von Hammer und Amicus können also bedenkenlos zugreifen.
