Grandly entertaining.
Village Voice
Alan Scherstuhl
Whale wrings potent suspense out of venturing into the shadows, and his technique still impresses ...

Sean Axmaker
Whale combines marvelous stylistic flourishes and witty drawing room dialogue with campy indulgence, creating a film both macabre and sardonic.
Hyperallergic
Jon Hogan
Fight scenes in "House" become a living, breathing, essential part of the film's ability to terrify, which remains undiluted today.
Backseat Mafia
Rob Aldam
A marvellous horror film which still retains the same sense of creeping awe.

Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
It's a classic horror tale, the apotheosis of all "Old House" spooky films.
Eye for Film
Jennie Kermode
Once the film has picked up pace it rattles along nicely.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
Richly atmospheric, beautifully crafted, creepy -- and most of all subversively funny and full of terrific dialogue.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
My favorite James Whale movie.
them.
Nadine Smith
The Old Dark House is much more explicit than horror films in the years to follow, dripping with provocations and innuendos, with a daring sensibility befitting a director whose own personal life flew in the face of convention.
Rob's Movie Vault
Rob Gonsalves
James Whale's wry send-up of the popular horror plays of the time actually has moments that put today's so-called horror films to shame.
