When I sat down to watch the 1989 horror movie "The Dead Come Home", it was actually labeled "The House On Tombstone Hill", for whatever reason I don't know. Regardless, I had never watched the movie, and with it being a horror movie, of course I opted to sit down and watch it.
Writer and director James Riffel had every chance to entertain me, as I had never heard about the movie, so I had zero expectations to what I was in for.
Well, the storyline didn't really appeal much to my liking. I found the narrative to be rather moronic and pointless. So writer James Riffel didn't manage to entertain me with the contents he conjured up for the script. It was a rather sluggish narrative, and it was just oozing with thick 1980s cheese, and not in a good way. There was very little of anything interesting happening as the narrative moved ahead at the pace of a snail, making it a very difficult movie to sit through.
The acting performances in "The Dead Come Home" was not particularly great. The performances were sort of okay, if you can get past the cheesy dialogue. But the actors and actresses weren't really given all that much to work with to begin with. I wasn't familiar with a single actor or actress on the cast list.
Visually then "The Dead Come Home" was not a great movie, not even by 1989 standards. And I love how the exterior of the mansion that the people ventured into changed throughout the course of the movie.
As it turned out, then I hadn't been missing out on a particular outstanding horror movie experience here by not watching "The Dead Come Home" before 2024.
My rating of "The Dead Come Home" lands on a generous three out of ten stars.
