While most people like Elvira, her fans will be disappointed in this movie, which seem dull and not funny or scary at all. It is like all the B-movies she hosts on TV that she scoffs and pokes jokes at. It's like Elvira is laughing at her own jokes. Not something enjoyable enough to watch over and over. This movie really needs to be redone better. It lacks the kind of quality a fan would expect from Elvira and any regard for her vampire side, which should of been developed more; there's just absolutely nothing for fans to follow. At least in Elvira Mistress Of The Dark we got to see something interesting than just her beautiful assets... her vampire looking car.

Elvira's Haunted Hills is meant to be kinda cheesy, tongue-in-cheek, well, quite awful. Really I can't technically give it a fair review whilst taking it seriously so I'll rate it for what it is: a trashy, cheesy bit of fun.Without being too insulting, this is more of a Z-Movie than a B-Movie and never takes itself too seriously. There are loads of cheap laughs, mainly from jokes that are older than when the film is set but the amount of 'boob jokes' is a little too high.To be honest, there is a story somewhere here, the tried and tested mystery in a haunted house plot, but it just serves as filler time for the quickly delivered and often weak jokes. The 'dubbing' joke that starts at around the half-hour mark is quite a funny one but it goes on for a little too long.In truth, Elvira's Haunted Hills takes advantage of its audience's expectation of a deliberately bad movie a little too much, the abysmally bad acting and cheap one-liners frequently make you wonder what the filmmakers were thinking.Cringe-worthy aspects aside it's not such a bad movie for a night in with friends, so long as you're drinking something. The lighting and production values are higher than other movies of its budget and the few special effects used look more convincing than I expected. Although the musical interlude is random and full of cheap sexual innuendos it does bring entertainment back to he film for the first time in over twenty minutes. The entertaining scenes are far and few really and at around halfway through you're ready to watch something else.Having not seen the first Elvira movie: Elvira, Mistress of the Dark I can't really compare the two but if its anywhere near as painful as this I'd be thankful not to see it ever.http://ukmore.tk/

I've been an Elvira fan since she hosted the late night horror shows in the 80's. I really didn't like the movie she starred in in the late 80's, I thought it was somewhat painful to watch. But I thought the complete opposite of this one. I found this one much more funny and entertaining. The negative reviews and the prior movie is what took me so long to give this one a chance. But she is as attractive and quick witted in this one as in her early day's being a horror show host. If you liked the old Elvira humor, you should give this movie a chance. I'm glad I finally got around to seeing this movie. Elvira's character and performance should make this movie a cult classic.

Sorry guys I'm french I hope you'll understand !!!Oh, come on, it isn't a so bad movie ! Some of the jokes made me laugh, it's better than a lousy Mel Brooks movie ! And it's a pretty nice way for 'Elvira' to show her love of Roger Corman's masterpieces. I'm glad I saw this film. I really think it's worth seeing it ! If you like horror movies from the 60's, especially Roger Corman/Mario Bava/Vincent Price's ones, you'll be delighted by the 'retro' touch of the film, and maybe you'll laugh sometimes, 'cause there are some good lines anyhow.This film is, in its first part, a sort of 'homage' to the slapstick cinema of the 30's, that's... huh... awful. There it is, Elvira slips because of the fat lady, there she goes, doing some strange cartoons noises when she fall to the ground : BOING!!KLING! That isn't really funny indeed, but it's like a Chuck Jones cartoon... Funny in an old-fashioned way.30 minutes after a lousy beginning, the movie becomes interesting, no more lousy slapstick gags, here come the good stuff, a titillating homage to Roger Corman's horror films (especially the 'Edgar Poe' series), Cassandra Peterson is prettier than ever (gosh, did I say that ?? she's older than my mum !!) (yummy anyhow) I think it's good she dares to show her love of Corman's work because nowadays it's a new fashion to say the world we love Hammer films... but without Corman in the 60's : no Hammer films in the 70's. Hail, King Corman !
