Wuthering Heights: The House of the Damned Review
Emily Brontë’s classic is reimagined with extra stranglings, slashings and pitchfork impalings but plays it straight
TL;DR
- The film is a horror reimagining of Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights, incorporating graphic violence.
- The plot attempts to align with the novel but adds extreme elements and presents Heathcliff as an 18th-century serial killer.
- The directorial approach is described as playing it straight and dour, despite the increased violence.
- The acting, particularly from the leads playing Mr. Lockwood and Heathcliff, is criticized as undermining the slasher genre aspect.
- The review concludes that the update feels pointless, lacks self-awareness, and is not fun.
