**_Norman Bates meets Carrie meets Willard… with a flamethrower_** A troubled young man (Dan Grimaldi) living with his mother in the Northeast develops a penchant for bringing attractive women home for questionable reasons. Robert Carnegie plays his only friend at work, the local incinerator. "Don’t Go in the House" (1979) is psychological horror with the mother/son base of “Psycho” (1960), the parental abuse with religious undertones of “Carrie” (1976) and the mentally disturbed young man in an old house angle of “Willard” (1971), yet with the haunting Northeast milieu of “Silent Night, Bloody Night” (1972). While not great like the first two, it’s arguably superior to “Willard” and almost on par with “Silent Night, Bloody Night.” Blonde Gail Turner stands out on the female front as Patty, but there are a few other notables, like Johanna Brushay (Kathy) and Nikki Kollins (Farrah). Because the bulk of the film focuses on solitary Donny’s mental issues, and effectively so, the disturbing story is kind of one-dimensional. Yet it occasionally perks up, like with the discotheque sequence. The film runs about 1 hour, 22 minutes and was shot in the New Jersey/New York area as follows: Strauss Mansion in Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey (Donny's House); downtown Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey (florist); New Rochelle, New York (clothing store & Disco); Jersey City, New Jersey; and Port Monmouth, New Jersey. Despite these locations, the story is curiously set in Maryland, as evidenced by the license plate on Donny’s truck. GRADE: B-

Norman Bates with a flame thrower

Cult horror movie about a young man who goes off the rails when his overbearing mother, with whom he still lives with, dies. The first thing that he does his turn the volume up on his stereo! Then he constructs a fire room in the large, creepy house and uses it to burn young women to a crisp using a flame thrower. The first death is particularly graphic but after that the rest are off screen. In fact the movie is pretty much bloodless. His bosses calls him a sicko, and this is just at the start. Psycho is an obvious big influence here, even down to the music in one scene, but the film is also similar to Maniac too. This was made in the era of disco and we get a glimpse into the music and fashion of the time. Banned in the UK as a Video Nasty in the 1980's - and it is a pretty nasty, but well made movie - now thankfully available to watch uncut. If you want blood and guts then probably best to look elsewhere but DGITH is a grim, exploitive tale of abuse and madness that will linger in the memory.
