Brivido giallo: La casa dell'orco (1988)
Season 1, Episode 3
3/10
low on all accounts

I have explained it before. Italians and the titles for their flicks. This flick here is again a perfect example. Although it doesn't follow the story of the original Ghosthouse (1988) it was in Germany released as Ghosthouse 2. The strange thing is that when you search on the net for Ghosthouse 2 you will see of course La Casa 4 Witchcraft (1988) from Fabrizio Laurenti with imagine that David Hasselhoff. But this release had other problems. It was also released as Demoni 3 because the director Lamberto Bava had a big success with Demoni (1985) and Demoni 2 (1986). But people find it hard to catch a copy of this flick because it is in fact called La casa dell'orco and was part of the Brivido Giallo series.

The main lead was by Virginia Bryant who was a hooker in Demoni 2. This was her last effort in the film industry. Sabrina Ferilli (Anna) and Stefania Montorsi (Maria) are still busy in the Italian scene but the most notorious name here is Paolo Malco (Tom) who appeared in The House By The Cemetery (1981) and The New York Ripper (1982).

Knowing all that this flick fails on every part. There's a demon or ogre in this flick but when he goes out hunting you are already 66 minutes into the flick. There's nothing gory on his hunting or even frightening. The story is more towards Cheryl, a horror novel writer. When she goes to Italy she is soon haunted by memories of her youth being stalked by an ogre. But again, that's in fact were it's all about and for an Italian flick it's as I said extremely low on red stuff or gore. And the ending is stupid as it could be. Trash.
