Burnt Offerings Based on a popular book (I had to read it in school!) by Robert Marasco, BURNT OFFERINGS is not perfect (what film is?), but still is an absorbing haunted house movie with good plot devices, notable photography and a first-rate cast. By the mid 70s, Hollywood was on a scare kick with decently budgeted thrillers, and Curtis would find himself producing, directing and co-writing his first theatrical film in nearly five years, BURNT OFFERINGS. BURNT OFFERINGS is kind of an update of the House of Usher story, in that the house is the real living monster and that theme is well drawn out here. www.dvddrive-in.com /reviews/a-d/burntofferings76.htm

Amazon.com: DVD: Burnt Offerings (1976) Burnt Offerings (1976) stars Karen Black, Oliver Reed, Bette Davis, and Burgess Meredith. Though released in 1976, Burnt Offerings is a classic horror movie that can still scare viewers today, partly because the scare factor is not dependent on virtually non-existent special effects or loads of blood and gore, but instead is supported by a fantastic script and the ability of its stars to utilize their talents. This is the first time I've viewed Burnt Offerings in at least 20 years and not only did it still give me the creeps but it made me realize that I'd stopped going to singles bars because of guys who looked like the chauffeur. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/ASIN/B00009PY32

Blogger: Email Post to a Friend In August 1975, director Dan Curtis, who had brought Dark Shadows and many other tales of Gothic horror to television and the cinema, filmed Burnt Offerings from a script which Curtis co-wrote with frequent collaborator William F. Nolan (Logan’s Run). Although the house on Shore Road is supposed to be somewhere on the East Coast, Burnt Offerings was filmed at the now-106-year-old Dunsmuir House, a 37-room mansion in Oakland, California. Although it has been compared to The Turn of the Screw, Hell House, and The Haunting of Hill House, Burnt Offerings is a haunted-house novel with a difference. www.blogger.com /email-post.g?blogID=10592321&postID=110740375526709300   (1287 words)

COLD CREEK MANOR - DVD Cold Creek Manor opens with twenty-odd minutes of stuff that was actually cut out of Burnt Offerings: all that shuck and jive about the hustle and bustle of city livin' and how it wears on the sensitive nerves of parents in fear for their children. And you can imagine my surprise when Cold Creek Manor turns out not to be a haunted house movie as the previews sort of suggest, packed with story inconsistencies and the sort of haphazard tonal shifts that suggest a filmmaker rusty or careless, or both, besides. The edged allure of the suburbs has already been handled this summer with more agility in Finding Nemo, and the film that Cold Creek Manor would most like to be, Straw Dogs, is so much more muscular and uncompromising that it actually does the film a great service not to mention it. www.filmfreakcentral.net /dvdreviews/coldcreekmanor.htm   (466 words)
