HOUSE OF THE LONG SHADOWS (1983). Standard Old Dark House story gets slight update with a writer betting his publisher He can crank out a book in 24 hours. His progress is stymied by a Family reunion that is occurring for ominous reasons. While Desi Arnaz Jr is somewhat annoying as the smug Keypounder, He's not too bad . The real reason to catch this is seeing John Carradine, Peter Cushing, Vincent Price and Christopher Lee all in one film and it's wonderful seeing them in the latter part of their careers, with Chris, in particular, standing out. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>SPOILER>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Depending on Your Point of View, the finale can be unsatisfying. still, just to see the Legends in one film makes it worth a view. ***
