Weirdly horny with flat characters, a flimsy premise, and a predictable plot. Hell House reflects attitudes of its time, and not in the best ways. I stuck through to the end thinking it would at least get scary at some point, but no luck.  Based on the other reviews, I’m now looking forward to reading a real horror story in Haunting of Hill House.
