DVD Description

What in Hell is going on at Headstone Manor? In this hilarious spoof of every horror fan’s favourite films, a team of mad scientists, led by Dr. Lukas Mandeville (Kenny Everett) and his assistant Dr. Barbara Coyle (Pamela Stephenson) are investigating paranormal phenomenon in the mysterious manor. Unknown to the scientists, their presence is about to incur the wrath of a local coven of bumbling but determined Satanists led by a 700-year-old disciple of the Devil known only as the Sinister Man (Vincent Price), all of whom are prepared to stop at nothing in purging the house of the unwelcome intruders.

Scripted by Barry Cryer (The Two Ronnies; The Kenny Everett Television Show), BLOODBATH AT THE HOUSE OF DEATH is a killer mixture of gross-out horror, shameless Carry On-style comedy and more than a little bit of kitsch zaniness. Revelling in its merciless parodies of a lengthy checklist of horror and genre movies such as Alien, The Entity, Carrie, An American Werewolf In London, Jaws and The Shining.

Never before released on DVD anywhere in the world and now remastered from the original vault negatives, BLOODBATH AT THE HOUSE OF DEATH stars a whole host of familiar faces from British film and television including influential radio DJ and comedian Kenny Everett, Pamela Stephenson (Superman III; Not The Nine O’Clock News), Gareth Hunt (The New Avengers), Don Warrington (Grange Hill; Rising Damp), John Fortune (Bremner, Bird and Fortune), Sheila Steafel (The Ghosts Of Motley Hall), Cleo Rocos (The Kenny Everett Television Show; Celebrity Big Brother), Graham Stark (the Pink Panther movies) and horror legend, Vincent Price.

You’ll scream with laughter when bloodcurdling clichés from the likes of THE AMITYVILLE HORROR, THE SHINING, POLTERGEIST, JAWS and INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS take our demented doctors to the brink of hysteria – and beyond!

2.0 out of 5 stars Best left alone., 25 May 2008
By Ian Armer (Lancashire, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (VINE VOICE)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Bloodbath at the House of Death [1984] [DVD] (DVD)
The utterly stupid (and critically loathed) Kenny Everett film is a ridiculous mixture of grand guignol excess and very childish groan worthy jokes. In fact, the film is so utterly beyond redemption (and fully aware of it) that you might as well check your brain (and taste) at the door and just get on with it.

Lashings of blood, faces burnt off with blow torches, decapitation by tin opener, Satanic mass slaughter and operations gone wrong are the order of the day. There are, to be fair, some genuine laugh out loud moments and some pretty good effects but this is no classic by any means, and the 2 stars is for the sheer stupidity of the whole affair.

Unfortunately, the film just isn't as good as you remember it to be (ie. when you were about 10 and watched it because Kenny Everett was in it!). The writing is pretty lacking in places, and even though it's supposed to be a homage to lots of other horror films (including - I hope - purposefully inane dialogue to show just how dim the scientists are) there really is no excuse for a 'comedy rape' scene. Because it just isn't funny. At all. And leaves a pretty nasty taste in the mouth.

40 minutes in I began checking my watch and getting impatient. It starts off well enough, but there are too many characters and it drags in the middle. If you have fond memories of seeing this on VHS as a kid, unless it's amazingly dirt cheap, I'd leave it alone!

5.0 out of 5 stars a bloodbath of laughs & a dvd full of surprises!, 20 July 2008
By Mr. Ae Rayner "aerayner" (hampton UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Bloodbath at the House of Death [1984] [DVD] (DVD)
I have been a Kenny Everett fan for years - I remember the first time that his shows appeared on British TV & I welcomed the recent reruns on satellite TV earlier in 2008! However, I confess to never having seen Bloodbath at the house of death in the cinema or on video. Anyone expecting an array of manic characters from Kenny's TV programs will be pleasantly surprised at his restrained performance as the mad professor with a dubious background - he only goes a bit nuts when the script requires him to & any overacting is down to certain other performers! The supporting cast is full of familiar faces - Graham Stark ( `Ercule in the Clouseau movies for just one example), David Lodge, veteran of countless films, John Fortune & South African Sheila Steafel, both of whom made their names on TV and are still active today & of course the biggest bonus is the participation of the incomparable Vincent Price who adds his own brand of camp dignity to the proceedings! Pamela Stephenson, best remembered for the wonderful Not the 9 o'clock news series, speaks in a strange lisp of her own invention according to one of the interviews in the Special Features section & Kenny's very close friend & a gorgeous lady, Cleo Rocos, is around to further enhance the production!
The story has been described by other people who have written reviews on Amazon's web site but basically the movie is homage to horror films of the era & pre dates the concept of the Scary Movie series by some 20 years!
Now to those special features which make this a fascinating DVD! Interviews with the executive producers provide revealing insights about the making of the film but the real gem is the archive footage consisting of a rare interview with Kenny, previously unseen by me.
Surprisingly enough Bloodbath didn't do well at the box office in UK but was a hit in Australia!
Hopefully this DVD release will find a new audience with awareness having been aroused by the repeats of the old TV shows that I mentioned earlier.
10 out of 10 to Nucleus films for finding a great looking print of the film - colours are crisp & sharp throughout and the night scenes are totally clear too, so collectors can now throw their old tapes away and replace with this excellent piece of nostalgic entertainment!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wish I could...!!!, 7 Aug 2009
This review is from: Bloodbath at the House of Death [1984] [DVD] (DVD)
I would LOVE to be able to write a legitimate review pertaining to this DVD release, but unfortunately I cannot, as it is available only in PAL format right now. If someone associated w/ the company holding rights to this film happens to read this review, please please PLEASE put in a suggestion that it be released in NTSC format as well. I remember this hilarious movie from late night shows during my teenage years, and it was SO very very funny. Again, an NTSC release would be very nearly a dream come true for myself and other U.S. fans of this excellent sardonic black comedy. There is definitely a market for it over here, too!
