  This felt like a "made for tv" movie, with the exception of the last five minutes of the film (which almost made up for the prior 115 minutes). Staring Karen Black as: Karen Black Oliver Reed as: Oliver Reed and Bette Davis as: Bette Davis No REAL surprises here… More

Not horrible...just kind of slow.

  I started to watch Burnt Offerings on TV, but it takes such a long time to come to the point, I left it going in the next room and came to the computer for my entertainment.

  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.

  This movie is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Truly horrendous...

  Like a cousin of "The Shining", this movie has the Rolf family taking care of an old house for the summer. This movie creeped me out, with the old lady we never see shut up in the attic, dreams of a wicked funeral hearse driver, unscheduled home renovations, a father trying to drown his son in the pool, and that final heart-stopping conclusion. They did it good and scary in this one. Oliver Reed, Karen Black and Bette Davis and Lee Montgomery play their roles of a family living in madness and fear wonderfully. The whole gardening theme was unique. I liked the photo collection upstairs. There's no real devil or ghosts involved; it's quite unnamable, which makes it scarier for some reason.

  Saw this AGES ago, and have only vague memories, so 3 stars is giving it the benefit of the doubt.

• Joey S

  
  A very weak and pretty boring 70s horror movie that tries to be atmospheric but doesn't do a good job at it. Burnt Offerings isn't worth a second glance, and there are tons of great 70s haunted house movies that are far superior to it.

• Jim W

  
  Just due to the horrifying and creepy ending, this should be considered a horror classic!
