The performances and script of this movie are all top notch, but what really makes this movie one of my favorites in the subgenre is its direction by Hough. Full Review

Rating: 8/10 -- This intelligent, creepy and disturbing horror film preys upon the most primal aversions to discomposure and the paranormal that even the most staunch realists among us harbor, but hide. Full Review

Aug 27, 2014
Rating: 3/4 -- The last-act revelation is a let-down and even somewhat silly, but this remains a top-tier ghost movie, thanks mostly to director John Hough, who privileges atmosphere over logic. Full Review

Sep 4, 2014
Rating: 4/5 -- Despite the fact that it was released over 40 years ago, John Hough's The Legend of Hell House still remains one of the greatest and most effective haunted house films ever committed to celluloid. Full Review

Rating: 5/5 -- This journey into a terrifying haunted house is one of metaphysics, exploring how disbelief, in many forms, can work against oneself. Full Review

Description by OLDIES.com:

It sits there, shrouded in mist and mystery, a nesting place for living evil and terror from the dead. It's Hell House. Roddy McDowall heads the cast of this exciting chiller about four psychic investigators and the dark, brooding mansion they themselves call "the Mt. Everest of haunted houses." It's already destroyed one team of researchers. Now this brave quartet ventures in for another try at unraveling its secret. But before they succeed, they must suffer through madness, murder and everything else the spirits that dwell here have in store for them. Yet learning the truth just might drive them all insane. An ingeniously-devised ghost story, The Legend Of Hell House will thrill and delight veteran horror fans from the first creaking door to the very last slithering shadow.

Product Description:

The wealthy owner of a haunted mansion believes his home (which has been dubbed "Hell House" due to a history of bizarre happenings therein) might provide the answer to the phenomenon of life after death. To prove his theory, he enlists the help of four brave psychic investigators whom, to acquire the situation in it's entirety, set up residence in the dark and mysterious abode. Soon after, the team are nearly driven to insanity as they slowly begin to discover how the mansion got it's gloomy moniker. An atmospheric and menacing film from the director of EYEWITNESS (1971).
