I watched it on tv this morning and whoa! Freaky! Karen Black as usual gave one of those memoerable performances, especially that look at the end! #scared0002#

"Burnt Offerings" was one of the best haunted house pictures of the classic horror era. Followed closely by "The Haunting".

The movie was OK, but it was a little slow IMO. I did like the chauffer though. I'm thinking about trading it in.

Karen Black was great in this movie but the film itself was more about atmosphere than actually moving the story along and giving you something to be excited about.

'Burnt Offerings' is the kind of movie that builds scares and suspense until it finally reaches it's full potential during the finale. In that regard it's a pretty good classic picture.

"Burnt Offerings" had some creepy imagery and scenes but it took way too long to get to anything good. It's one of those slow moving supernatural horror films where the evil spirit or whatever slowly but surely takes over a main character and keeps the viewer waiting until the very end for anything good to happen.

Boring! I don't know why this film gets so much praise, it may have been "the shit" back in the 80's but now it's just another lackluster classic that doesn't live up to it's praise.

Agreed on that. "Burnt Offerings" had nothing going for it, it was extremely snoozeworthy. It may have gotten people all goosebumpy in the old days, but in 2007 it's just 90 minutes of nostalgic boredom.

"Burnt Offerings" was a good psychological horror film. You can't really go into this movie expecting blood and guts if you want to enjoy it.

"Burnt Offerings" is average at best. You really have to be in the mood for something with slowly unfolding events in order to actually sit and watch this movie.
