The Uninvited (1944)
The film is about the composer Rick, who was spending his vacation on the English coast. The composer Rick Fitzgerald and his sister Pamela found an abandoned 18th-century house where they suddenly decided to buy it. It seems that things are not so good in this abandoned house and soon discover that the reason that the price is very cheap is the home's most dangerous past.

An archetypal 40s ghost story, ambitiously decked out in high studio finery, with billowing curtains and other kinds of hyperromantic kitsch that can put you in mind of death by tuberculosis, though ultimately it's a bit of a letdown.

The one thing -- and the only thing -- about this film is that it sets out to give you the shivers -- and will do so, if you're readily disposed.

An impressive, though outdated, old-fashioned ghost story.

a serious-minded, visually elegant chiller with real dramatic weight that was destined to stand apart
