The House on the Left Past the Roundabout  (1978)

Also Known As: The Madman's House, Quella Villa Allacanti, The House that Bled All Night, The House that Jack Built

Genre: Horror

Starring: Lee Majors and Donald Pleasance

Plot:
A lunatic escapes from the nearby mental asylum, it's raining and he'd like to find somewhere to rest.

The nearest house is the one on the left past the roundabout - it's full of teenagers having a party but he just wants some peace and quiet. And he'll go to any lengths to shut the fuckers up.

Quotes:
Man in street: "The party? Oh, it's just there... on the left past the roundabout."

Most Helpful User Review:
An unsettling experience. It's not a film anyone can feel comfortable about recommending, surely?
