Barbara Bouchet's first scene is the most erotic thing I have ever seen. Don’t Torture a Duckling is his best in my opinion. Barbara Bouchet’s first scene is the most erotic thing I have ever seen.

I won't say I like that stuff as much or more than his gore work (THE BEYOND is my fave Fulci) but I always tell people they shouldn't pigeonhole him as a horror director.

In my experience with his best horror stuff, I've always felt like it takes way too long to get to the meat of the story. On the path to getting to the point, we see a lot of people die but the kills are always out of context and bear little impact on the story. It's like someone gives Fulci thirty pages of script and says, "Get me 90 minutes out of this." House seems to move along at a very reasonable pace and the violence is on a grisly par with everything else from this era.</p> <p>My favorite Fulci stuff is actually his non-horror productions. I love Four of the Apocalypse and Contraband a lot more than any of the gore soaked horror stuff. When he's not making a horror movie he tends to stay within the confines of the genre he's working in.</p> See, I actually think House is paced better than most Fulci movies.

One of the local theaters almost always had a horror double-bill going and Fulci flicks were in heavy rotation. This one was a definite crowd pleaser thanks to its emphasis on whacked out crazy shit. I was recently on a Fulci kick and watched this, GATES (which I also saw at the Exhuned show), and ZOMBIE and I have to admit that for some reason HOUSE hasn't held up as well for me. A bit slower than I recalled but still a fun mix of ghosts, "zombies" and gore. Did you know that the kid in the jeep at the end of DEMONS is Bob?!
