Plot:
A haunted-house thriller about a house which draws energy from its inhabitants and selects its own keeper from the family of Ben and Marian Rolf, who rent the strangely-affordable house one fateful su...( read more

There's never any real burning, but the flick manages a few creepy moments here and there. It unfortunately never really gets scary, and with no big reveal to be had, you're left with some okay performances and scenery chewing, but the haunted house story itself has no teeth.
Worth a look on cable or a possible rental.
This really surpassed all my expectations and although it wasn't great, it was still a good horror movie. Burnt Offerings definitely delivered some very creepy and disturbing scenes, which were supported by good acting and a chilling score. So I'd recommend this for all horror fan who like to watch a haunted house movie.
IT WAS INTERESTING I THINK THAT KEREN BLACK HAS MADE TO ACT IN HORROR FILMS IN THE END OF THE MOVIE SHE MAKE A KINDA SCARY FACE
Saw this again last night. Still delivers. A bit of advice...if a huge, beautiful house is very cheap, DON'T buy it.
Burnt Offerings is a chilling, gothic, horror movie. This is a movie that memorizes you with the fear of the unknown. A classic visual frightener!
One of the better "haunted house" movies even though it's still a bit long and not as scary as it could be.
It's no surprise to learn that Stephen King rates Robert Marasco's novel (which this is based on) quite highly as it certainly seems to have influenced "The Shining" and "Rose Red".
The acting is just what you'd expect from Karen Black and Oliver Reed but don't let that put you off as the spookiness of the house almost makes up for it.
Apart from a very telegraphed but still shocking ending the only thing which really lets this down is that it seems to suffer from excessive padding. It could have been done in half the time really.
What if they made a gothic horror movie and forgo t he horror... oh, they did! Manages its effects with some subtlety and some carelessness. Dreadful.
70?s horror starring bette davis, oliver reed and karen black. should have been better then it actually turned out to be.
Ok, this one may be old, but it was THE original scary movie for me...that damned smile on the driver still gives me chills. Haven't seen this one in years, so I'm not sure how this one has "aged."
Oliver Reed is such a formidable presence, and such a good actor, that when he starts getting so scared that he shakes, it's more than a little disconcerting. This movie somehow taps into that nightmare consciousness serveral times. They should sell it by the bottle.
