The slasher genre was just taking off when Joseph Ellison's "Don't Go in the House" got released. Much of it comes across as a "Psycho" ripoff. I will give it credit for some sexy scenes and a cool soundtrack (it was also the tail end of the disco era). As with any movie released around that time, it's interesting to see a town's local businesses, long since shuttered and replaced by chain businesses.
All in all, the movie delivers what it promises. As long as you don't expect anything profound or serious, you won't be disappointed.
