nancyblues I enjoyed this maybe BECAUSE it is so lame. Victor French as Dr. Andrew Cunnigham and Janee Michelle as Lorena Christophe were actually pretty good in their roles. They seem like they are good at their craft, in spite of the silliness of the movie and it's implausible premise. The other folks in the movie had a lot to overcome with the trite lines they were given. At the beginning of the film there is a scene where two of the "heirs" are on a winding mountain road in separate cars on their way to the house (you know---the one on SKULL HILL!). The info about the movie says the house is located in mountains on the outskirts of Atlanta, GA. Right. It was obviously filmed on the Pacific Coast, which is even more "un-voodoo-like" than Atlanta. The terrain, trees and vegetation made the Atlanta location totally unbelievable. And the music! Over-dramatic and hysterical. It's a good movie to watch on a night when your boyfriend is out of town. You can watch it alone and still turn out the lights without being creeped out. I get tired of all the gore in movies today, so this movie at least seems kind of like less of an assault to the senses and kind of harmless. But it still leaves me wondering... How can a movie be so BAD and yet still kind of charming in its own way?

Lee Eisenberg Although I thought that "The House on Skull Mountain" was overall a fairly neat movie, I wish that it had featured more action. And people need to realize that voodoo is more than just people sticking pins in dolls; voodoo is a religion. Of course, there can never be too many movies about haunted houses.The plot is that an elderly African-American woman dies and a couple of people are invited to her house near Atlanta. Sure enough, there are bad things going on in this house. I thought that Phillippe was sort of a cliché (alcoholic wise guy), but he was the neatest character in the movie! Anyway, there's nothing special about this movie.

johnanderson40 Same old storyline gather the family of a dead rich relative to an old house and kill them off. I was glad that Phillipe was first deservedly so for his poor acting.Doesn't bond together well mismatch of ideas thrown into a pot and doesn't flow well. The setting is fine and the house looks good and you do wonder what is to happen next. Set in 1930s with 70s style filming. The romance side of things is a bit unusual between relatives who have not seen each other.Some nice touches with the filming and suspense build ups whilst nothing horrific is actually seen

skull-mountain The movie is a typical cheesy 70's horror film made on a $2 budget. I have a fondness for these type of movies and find them more interesting than the new movies that are released. With it's eerie music in the beginning and strange driving scene to open the move it's quite interesting in general and moves along well except for the 15 minute voodoo dancing scene near the end of the movie (just to pad the film I guess). Victor French does a nice job and so does Lionel Jefferson. Too bad they don't show these type of low budget movies on any channels any longer (so I doubt you'll get a chance to see this). I wonder when will there be a sequel?
