I was really excited when I found House Of Evil on VHS recently, and it turned out to be quite a decent 70's haunted house flick. However, everything was spoilt by the ending where "the devil" makes an appearance. It just didn't seem to fit with everything else and seemed ludicrous. Up until that point I thought the film had a really creepy atmosphere and sense of doom.
The setting is fantastic and the house is almost as creepy as the one in House By The Cemetery. The opening scene is very good and makes you excited for what is to come. There's one hilarious scene where a woman gets all her clothes torn off by "the evil", but sadly there's no bare breasts to be seen.
Overall, The Evil has its good and bad points. Up until when we're introduced to "the devil" character, the film works. I would recommend giving this a watch if you're into haunted house flicks - it's better than a lot of other ones out there.
