Hillbillys in a Haunted House (1967)
Directed by Jean Yarbrough
Quick Hit
Hillbillys in a Haunted House works when the atmosphere feels bruised and intimate, even if the mechanics are more rough than ruinous. The atmosphere keeps the heart beating.
Full Take
The movie works best when the dread feels personal instead of decorative. There’s texture in the shadows and a real ache in the performances. Once the mood is set, everything comes down to whether the film can cash in its own setup. The haunting works because loss is sitting right under the surface. That’s why it hurts in the right way and scores SOLID.
