The Uninvited

Ray Milland and Ruth Hussey star in this classic ghost story as a brother and sister who together purchase a gothic mansion overlooking the sea. The previously-abandoned house carries a low price tag, but the reason soon becomes apparent -- the property has a morbid history and the siblings discover that the mansion is haunted by its former residents. Moody and atmospheric, The Uninvited is an early example of a Hollywood film taking the supernatural seriously, rather than comedically.
