Synopsis
The Legend of Hell House (1973) is a British supernatural horror directed by John Hough — watch online on iFILM the film adapted by Richard Matheson from his own novel. A dying millionaire commissions four investigators to spend one week inside Belasco House and determine whether life after death is real. Every previous team either died there or lost their minds.
Physicist Lionel Barrett brings equipment meant to neutralize whatever haunts the place. His wife Ann goes along. Florence Tanner, a young psychic played by Pamela Franklin, tries direct contact with the spirits. And Benjamin Fischer — Roddy McDowall — says almost nothing about what happened when he was the sole survivor of the last expedition. The house already knows each of them.
What makes this one last is the script. Matheson strips the horror down to a procedural dread — no sudden shocks every ten minutes, just a slow accumulation of wrongness and a genuinely unsettling third act. Stream The Legend of Hell House (1973) on iFILM.
