Rating:  - Nowhere near as good as the reviews say
I love old classic horror with lots of atmosphere, especially with a satanic aspect to it, so after reading the reviews of the Mephisto Waltz, I couldn't wait to watch it.
What a disappointment. It wasn't terrible, but it's not something I'd watch again. The 'suprise' ending was hardly a suprise.
I give it 2 stars.

Rating: - FOR HORROR COLLECTORS
WOW 2 Movies for the price of one, the best of them MEPHISTO WALTZ, with the beautiful Jacqueline Bisset, and a chilling music score of Jerry Goldsmith

It's companion piece on this two-DVD set is hardly worth watching. It's like some weird merging of "The Old Dark House" and "Foxy Brown" (or maybe "Blackula"). I have a real appetite for cheesy horror flix, and even I came away from "Skull" feeling like I'd just wasted a couple hours ... Read More
Rating:  - Do That Voodoo That You Do So Well
This is an unusual double feature offering as the two films seemingly have little to do with one another. House on Skull Mountain almost feels like a Blaxploitation film as 99% of the cast is African American and the formal theme is about lineage and heritage. There's an interesting inversion here that we in the postmodern age would find interesting. The storyline of four heirs are summoned to a Caribbean island for the reading of a will, and find themselves at the will of a Voodoo practitioner (I don't ... Read More
