House of Horror (1929)
This is some better than "Haunted House" and "Seven Footsteps to Satan" because of the work of Chester Conklin and Louise Fazenda. As far as story is concerned it is as cheap and claptrap as the former efforts. There are diamond smugglers and other hokum. One is not supposed to tell the denouement of a mystery. One can't, for the climax is as mysterious as "the plot." Pass it up.
