There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

No, no, I'm kidding. The butler didn't do it, in fact there is no butler in this movie - in his place there is a stereotypically easily-scared-out-of-his-mind black errand man (he didn't do it, either). You could argue that everything about "Who Killed Aunt Maggie?", from the dark and stormy night and the old house with possible but still undiscovered secret rooms to the disappearance of the dead bodies and the family of suspects, is stereotypical, but at least it's done in a rather self-aware way. The movie doesn't seem to aim any higher than just being a fast-moving, instantly forgettable mystery programmer, and at that it succeeds. One particularly funny scene has a character trying to find the secret room behind a bookcase - only to have the entire bookcase fall on him! ** out of 4.

Well I would have to give it a 10 because it frightened the life out of me when I saw it shortly after it came out at the Vogue Cinema, Stoke Newington, London and I had asked someone I didn't know to take me into the cinema because it was an 'A' (Adults only) film. Things were a lot safer in those days because all the men were in the services. It scared me so much I had to change seats and sit next to a couple of women for comfort but then I was only 9 at the time - it was wartime in London and were going through the bombing so my nerves were probably on edge and perhaps I would only rate it one today if I saw it again. But at 80 - what do I know? I'm no critic. Anyway perhaps children today, if they saw it, might see the film as being a bit spooky today.

Call me bewildered, this one gets a 8.9 out of 10 by the people rating the films here at IMDb. All I have to say is what version did they see? Its good but it's not that good.The plot of this film has a writer of radio show and the sponsor in love and fighting on the wedding day. He can't believe that anyone would buy into the old dark house radio show she's written. She bails on the wedding and heads home where strange things are going on much like her radio show. Her beau eventually arrives and thinks its all a joke, except its not.Good old dark house spoof ala haunted honeymoon or similar films suffers from way too much comedy (there is no tension) and a way too knowing attitude (there is no tension). Its not bad, but it isn't a 9 out of ten, think more like six, maybe seven out of ten.

I'm a fan of "Old House" movies and, when i heard about THIS one, i tried to get it for a long time.When i finally DID, i was very disappointed. It's easy to spot the murderer, but that's not what makes it so disappointing.This film has a top-notch cast - Eliz Paterson, Willie Best, Joyce Compton, Milton Parsons, Wendie Barrie, etc -- ALL veteran "Old House" actors. AND, a screenplay by the fantastic Stuart Palmer!But, the movie drags on & on, with the usual "cut phone wires", "cars put out of commission", etc.....it would've benefited from some real SCARES.It drags along, to an ending that doesn't make much sense. Don't waste your time on THIS one, unless you're a die-hard fan!
