Kenneth says he must be only a quiet and cozy place for writing the novel. Publisher offers him to go to the old castle in Wales, which belongs to his friend, and in which for forty years now nobody lives.
Having arrived in the castle, Kenneth meets a strange elderly woman and her barely breathing father. Suddenly there is the young blonde girl Mary, which Kenneth previously encountered in a hotel in the city. She explains to him that arrived on the instructions of the publisher, to prevent him to write a novel, and to inform it about the progress of the works of writer. Kenneth was the fact that the castle was not so uninhabited, but, nevertheless, it starts to work. But here castle after forty years of desolation just starts filling up uninvited guests…
Review: The film “House of the Blue Shadows” 1982 was the last directorial work Englishman Pete Walker and , unlike almost all of his other paintings, “House of the Blue Shadows” is not a movie from the category of R, because this tape can be viewed only as a mystical gothic comedy with elements slasher . However , the film is still incredibly interesting and dynamic , full of gorgeous dark and purely British atmosphere that builds self- direction of Pete Walker , stylish camera work by Norman G. Langley, who shot the beautiful castle and its mysterious surroundings and excellent plot, in which the viewer is waiting many surprises.
Also in the picture is occupied by a truly stellar cast , which includes the true titans of horror , Christopher Lee, Vincent Price , Peter Cushing and John Kerredayna who created unforgettable and bright images that have become a real decoration of the film. Also very good in the role of Kenneth and Desi Arnaz jr. , Who performed a very colorful protagonist.
Composer Richard Harvey wrote to the picture bright and melodic soundtrack, ideally coming up to its visuals .
I recommend this wonderful in every sense of the picture all the fans of horror films and the fine black comedy , a way this picture , too, can be carried safely .
