Death House (1988, USA) C-93m. ** D: Nick Marino, John Saxon. Starring Dennis Cole, Anthony Franciosa, John Saxon, Alex Courtney, David S. Freeman, Howard George. Little-known horror thriller about Cole, who is framed for murder when his wealthy boss Franciosa catches him fooling around with his wife. In prison, he uncovers the plan of agent Saxon, who conducts gruesome experiments with death row prisoners. Interestingly mixes zombie horror with the realism of prison films, but results are far from engrossing. Uneven, with a longish plot setup. Some effects are quite potent. This was cult actor John Saxon's only film as a director.
