Some cinematic productions seem happy to minor entries in their particular genre - and there's nothing wrong with that. I often enjoy a traditional, by-numbers horror story much more than a more ambitious, spectacular entry. 'The Murder Mansion' is, in my view, a good example of this. There's little that is sophisticated or witty about this, it certainly doesn't try anything new or unexpected with the story. But what it does, it does well.
There is a bit of titillation (some cuts may have been made), and a nice balance between warm indoors and cold, foggy 'out there'. The results are entirely unmemorable, but fine for undemanding viewing for fans of obscure horror.
score 6/10
