House of Terror (1973)

A nurse and her homicidal boyfriend plot to kill her rich and seriously ill boss while they too are being stalked by some undefined horror.When the woman turns up dead in a bathtub full of blood the couple begin to search for the money,but they soon begin to suspect that the woman isn’t really dead.Perhaps her ghost has come back to avenge her death.”House of Terror” by Sergei Goncharoff is quite reminiscent in tone to S.F Browrigg’s “Don’t Look in the Basement”,but it’s nowhere nearly as effective.The plot is extremely tedious,the action moves at snail’s pace and there is not enough horror for my liking.Apart from the beginning where elderly couple is savagely knifed to death there is almost no blood in “House of Terror”.Very boring and common talkfest with pretty eerie denouement
