Burnt Offerings 1976 123movies

Watch: Burnt Offerings 1976 123movies, Full Movie Online – Ben and Marian Rolf rent a grand old country mansion as a summer getaway for themselves, their twelve year old son Davey, and Ben’s Aunt Elizabeth. They feel they can’t turn down the rent deal offered to them by the house’s owners, siblings Roz and Arnold Allardyce, despite some reservations. First amongst those reservations, they are to take care of the house on their own, which Ben feels is too big a job, especially for Marian and the interior housekeeping. In Marian’s words, the large size of the house is a “waste”. And second and perhaps more important amongst those reservations, the Allardyces’ aged mother will be staying in her room at the house, the Rolfs who are to provide a tray of food left outside her room three times a day, which Marian vows to take care of on her own, with no other members of the family to go into that isolated wing of the house so as not to disturb Mrs. Allardyce’s peace. Upon their arrival at the house for the first day of their stay, they find a note from Roz and Arnold stating that they had to leave on an emergency, only with the necessary keys enclosed with no address or telephone number where they can be reached. As the summer progresses, the family members individually begin to exhibit unusual and unexplainable behavior, and unusual and unexplainable things start happening around the house. The strongest behavior ends up being Marian’s total focus on renewing the house into what she says she wants it to be, or so she implies she is doing. These occurrences threaten both the loving family dynamic as well as the individual lives of the four. The answers to what is happening may be who or what lies behind the closed and often locked door of Mrs. Allardyce’s bedroom..
Plot: A couple and their 12-year-old son move into a giant house for the summer. Things start acting strange almost immediately. It seems that every time someone gets hurt on the grounds, the beat-up house seems to repair itself.

Atmospheric chiller
Talky, but unusual and creepy haunted house movie concerns an ordinary family from the city who rent a country estate for the summer–at a suspiciously low price! A bit confusing at first, but whenever something bad happens (like the father cutting his thumb on the champagne bottle) something good immediately takes its place (the kid switching on what was previously a dead light bulb). The house absorbs the good (the sacrificial new family’s spirit and energy) while its inhabitants wither away, physically or mentally. Bette Davis’ Aunt Elizabeth ages suddenly (with frighteningly effective make-up), and Anthony James as the chauffeur who haunts Oliver Reed’s head is a scary, freaky presence. Karen Black is even odder than usual: I’m not certain whether her not-quite-there expression is what was intended for the role of Marion, but she does something very gutsy for an actress, making herself into a gargoyle (only in her final scene does she overdo it). Superior to the source novel by Robert Marasco, “Burnt Offerings” (the title taken from a biblical reference) is a well-directed slice of the macabre. *** from ****

A nicely spooky haunted house horror chiller
Grouchy Ben (the always excellent Oliver Reed) and his perky wife Marian (superbly played by the divine Karen Black) rent a large swanky country mansion for the summer for a mere $900 dollars. Staying with the married couple are their bratty son David (solid Lee Montgomery) and feisty Aunt Elizabeth (a terrifically tart Bette Davis). Pretty soon they all find out that something is seriously amiss with the isolated estate. Director Dan Curtis relates the absorbingly spooky story at a slow and stately pace, effectively creates a suitably uncanny gloom-doom Gothic atmosphere, and delivers one corker of a surprise twist bummer ending. Eileen Heckart and Burgess Meredith are wonderfully quirky as the weird sister and brother owners of the expansive abode. Popping up in nifty supporting parts are Dub Taylor as a cranky, grubby handyman and Anthony James as a creepy chauffeur. Bob Cobert’s brooding, chilling score, Jacques R. Marquette’s hazy, yet sharp cinematography, and the startlingly downbeat conclusion substantially add to the overall eerie quality of this bang-up little fright film winner.
