Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

This is an OK little movie. It does have its creepy moments and the acting isn't bad. I find the old woman to be especially spooky. Some nice gruesome deaths and good atmosphere make this a fun movie to watch with popcorn late on a stormy night. I got this movie in a pack of 50 creepy films. I'd say it ranks somewhere in the middle as far as rating goes. Not the best but at least it's entertaining.

Nice guy motorcyclist Fred (a likable performance by Andres Resino) and sweet hitchhiker Laura (winningly played by the lovely Lisa Leonardi) get seriously lost in a thick, dense fog and are forced to seek refuge in a rundown old mansion that's located right next to a cemetery. Naturally, strange and frightening things begin to happen come nighttime. Director Francisco Lara Polop, working from a blithely hokey script by Luis G. de Blain, trots out all the expected lovably hoary horror clichés: a remote decrepit abode in the middle of nowhere, elements of witchcraft and vampirism, a few bloodless, yet still cool murder set pieces, plenty of spooky and mysterious atmosphere, a misty and eerie graveyard, rat-infested catacombs, people walking dark hallways in the wee hours of the evening, and even a neat "Scooby Doo"-style surprise twist ending. The sturdy cast portray their stock parts with admirable sincerity: Resino and Leonardi make for appealing leads, with fine support from Ida Galli as the sinister Martha Clinton, Analia Gade as the anxious and distraught Elsa, Franco Fantasia as smarmy jerk Mr. Porter, Alberto Dalbes as adulterous rich cad Ernest, and Ingrid Garbo as Ernest's enticing mistress Ellen. Guglielmo Mancori's handsome cinematography gives the picture an attractive picturesque look. Marcello Giombini's spirited groovy'n'shuddery score hits the shivery spot. Despite the lack of graphic gore and nudity, this fright feature manages to be quite enjoyable and engrossing; there's an endearingly earnest quality to it that's impossible to either resist or dislike. An entertaining late-night TV staple.

"The Murder Mansion" may not be the best movie that I've ever seen, but it kept me entertained throughout the whole 83 minutes. The film is about a group of people who get fog-bound at a creepy old mansion in the middle of nowhere and are forced to stay the night. However, the group soon discovers that the mansion holds a deadly secret. I would have liked this flick better if it weren't for the ending that reminded me too much of "Scooby Doo", almost like a real-life replica of one of those episodes. This film has almost no gore or nudity, and would be considered very tame by today's standards. All in all, the it had an atmospheric and eerie setting and a few pop-out scares that will keep you entertained to the very end. Check this one out! Not Rated (But is equal to PG-13)for Violence and Sensuality.Grade: C+

After reading some of the comments about 1972's The Murder Mansion, I came to the conclusion that there must be a version of this Spanish/Italian production that has good acting, an interesting script and plot, impressive camera-work and color, and a general feeling of competency.I got the other one, the 90-odd-minute, grade Z-minus, horrendously dubbed, amateur-hour horror, along with the other cheap stuff I picked up at the dollar store.Oh, well. The flip side of the disk had How Awful About Allan, which made up for this cinematic foolishness.And I got an eight-pack of triple-A's for a buck, too!
