George C. Scott stars as a composer who has lost his wife and daughter and moves into a mansion of a home. Creepy things start happening in the house, and a supernatural plot unfolds. It rigidly follows the formula of the haunted house movie, and yet it never feels constricted by it. This is quite simply one of the best of all haunted house movies, building tension as it does through the unseen and playing off our innate fear of the unknown. Watch this alone in the dark for maximum effect.
