Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Woodyanders William (a solid performance by Nicholas Ball), his wife Emma (well played by the fetching Rachel Davies), and their daughter Sophia (the adorable Emma Ridley) move into an old rundown house where a brutal murder occurred years ago. Strange and upsetting things start to happen immediately thereafter.Director Tom Clegg keeps the absorbing story moving along at a steady pace, adroitly crafts a creepy atmosphere, makes nice use of the titular crumbling abode, grounds the premise in a believable everyday reality, and tosses in a few nice bits of gore that include a hideously mangled cat and a pipe that sprays blood on a bunch of folks celebrating Sophie's birthday party. David Lloyd's crafty script pulls off a doozy of a surprise twist and concludes on a shockingly nasty note. The sound acting by the capable cast keeps this episode on track: Patricia Maynard as friendly neighbor Jean, Brian Coucher as Jean's helpful husband George, and Milton Johns as smarmy real estate agent A.J. Powers. Norman Warwick's crisp cinematography and James Bernard's robust ooga-booga score further enhance the sturdy quality of this nifty show.

Theo Robertson From memory this was the stand out episode from HAMMER HOUSE OF HORROR . If there's any flaws to it then it's a very conscious reworking of THE AMITYVILLE HORROR and suffers from obvious and obvious exposition where characters relate things to one another that they'd already know as in " We've been here in California for three years now and ... " but from what I've seen via my recent rewatching of the show this looks like remaining the best of a relatively invariable mediocre set of stand alone horror stories You can perhaps work out what the twist is going to be at the end and to its credit the internal logic of the story states that there's no such thing as the supernatural which is a blatant and undisguised attack on the credibility of THE AMITYVILLE HORROR writer Jay Anson and the Lutz family . There is an element of contrivance in that someone must do something such as faint in order for the plot to progress and someone has to be in the right place at the right time but the credibility just about works , probably down to the fact William Peters works as a hospital porter which gives you a large clue as to how someone can have access to blood and severed hands One amusing back stage story was from Brian Croucher who mentioned that the cast kept corpsing every time they saw the stuffed prop for Timmy the cat , something that's not reflected on screen since the death of Timmy is fairly shocking . It is very noticeable that just before the climatic scene at the children's birthday party the young cast are enjoying the fact that they know what's going to happen next and are enjoying themselves a little bit too much , this sums up the episode which is very enjoyable

dolly_the_ye-ye_bird This episode scared me to death as a kid. I had nightmares for weeks!! In fact, it's the episode that I always remembered having nightmares about, which led me to research the whole series and watch it. Not to mention, it made me a mad fan of Hammer in general. As I got older, I couldn't remember if it was a movie or TV show and it was years before I finally tracked it down online. And it was just as good as I remembered!! The birthday party scene is truly terrifying. There is enough blood and gore to keep the slasher fan placated. But not so much that those of us who prefer atmosphere cannot enjoy every minute. In all, it's very creepy and has a well thought out plot. This is the best episode of one of the best horror series ever! Too bad it only lasted a season!

Claudio Carvalho William (Nicholas Ball) and Emma Peters (Rachel Davies) buy an old house where a brutal murder happened years ago in very bad condition with the intention of restoring it. They move with their daughter Sophie (Emma RidleY), and become friends of their neighbors Jean (Patricia Maynard) and George Evans (Brian Croucher). However, eerie events happen in the house, inclusive the death of Sophie's cat. In Sophie's birthday party, a pipe leaks blood and they leave the place, disclosing a secret later."The House That Bled to Death" is a scary and one of the best episodes of the series "Hammer House of Horror". The fantastic twist, disclosing a secret, and the tragic conclusion are really excellent. My vote is eight.Title (Brazil): "A Casa Que Sangrou Até Morrer" ("The House That Bled to Death")
