The House of Lost Souls
Directed by Umberto Lenzi
Produced by Dania Film, National Cinematografica
A straightforward slasher-haunted-house film that trades psychological depth for visceral dread and graphic kills in an isolated setting.
A handful of young geologists are unlucky enough to be forced to stay at a rundown hotel in the middle of nowhere. What they don't know is that the hotel has been abandoned for twenty years because the owner of the hotel had killed his family and all the guests two decades ago. Strange things begin to happen, and suddenly murders are committed...
