Nigel Andrews Financial Times May 12, 2023
This, as the title will intimate to you with a sledgehammer, is a spoof horror film, and a painfully unfunny one. Go to Full Review
Derek Malcolm Guardian May 12, 2023
Ought to be prosecuted under the Bright Act as being likely to deprave and corrupt film critics. Go to Full Review

There are a few laughs scattered around the picture, and Everett is absolutely working hard to please, going big in a feature that's most enjoyable at its wackiest. Go to Full Review
Alan Jones Starburst Aug 1, 2022
A series of desperate vignettes lampooning every fantasy film made in the last 10 years. Go to Full Review

Freddy V @RT18427309 Sep 26, 2026 I was 30 minutes in before I realized it was a comedy. I genuinely thought it was just a terrible movie that was accidentally hilarious. See more david a @RT91677243 Sep 28, 2025 A camp hammer style film, plenty of horror themes and Kenny being Kenny with his sidekick Cleo. Great film for a Saturday night and a few drinks. See more Melissa L @Agent99 Aug 6, 2025 This film is a horror-comedy from 1984 with Vincent Price, and, I am sorry to say, I was greatly disappointed in it. See more Joseph H @RT88451990 May 27, 2025 Okay, let's be real. "The bloodbath at the house of death” isn't winning any Oscars. The special effects look like they were done with stuff from a pound shop, the acting is... well, let's call it "enthusiastic," and the plot is bonkers. But, and this is a BIG but, I absolutely loved it. This movie has a heart. It's clear everyone involved was having a blast, and that infectious energy leaps off the screen. Sure, the weapons look more goofy than scary, but their sheer ridiculousness is what makes the movie so much fun. The jokes are dumb, but they're delivered with such sincerity that you can't help but laugh. If you're looking for high art, move along. But if you're in the mood for a movie that doesn't take itself seriously, that embraces its own low-budget absurdity, and that will leave you with a goofy grin on your face, then “The bloodbath at the house of death”is exactly what you need. It's a reminder that movies don't have to be perfect to be enjoyable. Sometimes, the flaws are what make them special. See more Captain C @RT24208314 Dec 7, 2024 Some films are that bad but you sort of enjoy, but there was nothing to like about this film even Kenny Everett (the reason I watched it) was awful, overall an embarrassing mess. See more Chris L @RT08018314 Jun 23, 2024 "All done in the best possible taste!" Silly, silly Kenny Everett. RIP See more Read all reviews
