Entertainment Reviews:
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.

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.

PopMatters
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.

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.

Incredibly flat-footed haunted house opus with even flatter ending.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Rating: 5/5 --
This journey into a terrifying haunted house is one of metaphysics, exploring how disbelief, in many forms, can work against oneself.

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.
