The House of the Dead (1978) is currently available on Tubi. This movie starts with a man who is cheating on his wife who gets caught in the rain on his way home. He stops at a mortician's who tells him a series of short stories on how his recent bodies got there and finally how the cheater might be next...
This movie is directed by Sharron Miller (Little Girl Lost) and stars John Ericson (Bedknobs and Broomsticks), Ivor Francis (The Last Child), Elizabeth MacRae (The Conversation), Burr DeBenning (A Nightmare on Elm Street: Dream Child) and Bernard Fox (Titanic).
This is a horror anthology with a fairly cliche setup and storytelling. The plots for the horror stories have potential but the horror elements are lacking and reduce the impact of the dramatic conclusions. The kills are average and disappointing. The acting is fine and the characters and execution is believable. This has a made for television feel to it where it's a little creepy but not tooooo scary
Overall, this is a disappointing addition to the horror genre that had some potential but falls flat of expectations. I would score this a 4/10 but recommend horror enthusiasts see it at least once.
