Horror Hotel

Brittania Films presents "Horror Hotel" a genuinely scary classic starring CHRISTOPHER Lee even though celebrity songster of that era DENNIS Lotus got top billing. PATRICIA Jessel is the witch, stage thespian VALENTINE Dyall is the warlock and ANN Beach is the mute, these fine actors, along with their talented co stars enforced Horror Hotel's outstanding dialogue with top notch performances that were presented fierce and believable.

Known by the title " City Of The Damned " in Britain, Horror Hotel was directed by JOHN Moxey, this writer scares you and makes you think twice with this excellent screen play that was adapted by GEORGE Baxt and a chilling story told by MILTON Subotsky. Director of Photography DESMOND Dickinson's black and white film is so amazingly crisp and clear you will immerse yourself in all the fog in this well crafted film. The special effects were created by CLIFF Richardson. The opening sequence is a masterpiece I feel could never be duplicated. If one is really into the truism of witchcraft, their beliefs, the bloody rituals or what it must have been like, being accused, condemned and burned at the stake for being a witch then Horror Hotel filmed in 1960 will take you there.

It's 1690 the moment an old village woman hatefully spats out WITCH ! the condemned Elizabeth Selwyn retaliates by hissing, spitting on her accuser and cursing the village with a maniacal laughter so believably vicious you are hooked. Genuine Satanist were kept on the down low in the 60's, except for horror movies this is a near true account on how they still operate today. Have You Seen Me? ...I am reminded every time I pick up a milk container that many of those missing especially teenagers and children are victims of cults in need of a human sacrifice. This film goes there. For years horrible crimes has evolved and most recently the unbelievably sadistic events that are not always made public, the one basic unanswered question is, Who can you trust nowadays? Knowing in today's society evil people still deceive unaware victims with cons and schemes for their own personal devilish purpose. Unfortunately life has not changed much which makes Horror Hotel such a classic and so real by delving into the darkness of men and women alike when the blood thirsty witch Elizabeth Selwyn returns to present day. The gothic witch chant is set by DOUGLAS Gamly and the up beat jazz sequence by KEN Jones.
Horror Hotel will spellbind you to the end.
