- Heya, it's #HorrorRecommendation o'clock! 👻 Here's 'Burnt Offerings' (1976), featuring Karen Black, Oliver Reed, and Bette Davis (amongst others). If you like Amityville, The Shining, Legend of Hell House or the ''malevolent/haunted house'' trope... you're in for a nice twisty treat. More below.
- No spoilers. Just some reasons why you should see it: - Karen Black's acting in her slow-and-gaslit descent into madness & despair is something to witness - The anxiety-inducing slow burn pace just... works - Anthony James as a creepy chauffeur is *chef's kiss* - Felt genuinely invested from A to ZJan 24, 2026 21:44
- In the @letterboxd.social community, many affirm that 'Burnt Offerings' walked so 'The Shining' could run. Don't compare the two, though, because that wouldn't be fair (the latter is hard to top). But noticing the similarities and inspirations is a fun add-on to the watching experience.
- All-in-all, definitely give 'Burnt Offering' a watch. It deserves its flowers, and still falls under the radar of many film and horror enthusiasts. 🏚️ Cheers! #Horror #MovieReview
