As has often been said - there is more terror in your mind than could ever be portrayed on the screen. This piece of 'Silver Screen Gold' is a shining example! (Not to be confused with Stanley K's film.) While some of the dialog is a tad silly - the sequences with nothing but sound effects and searching shots of a door frame or door that expands and contracts makes one wonder WHATS ON THE OTHER SIDE?! Expertly directed by one of the best directors who ever lived - and his son (Robert Wise & Bob Wise JR.) - it keeps you on the edge of your seat right up until the end. You'll get to know the house - on its own terms. You'll also be looking for sounds and shadows in your own bedroom - in the night...in the dark... Some of the characters actors are seriously creepy - like the Madam housekeeper I just quoted. "If you needed help, no one could hear you...in the night...in the dark." "No one will come any closer than town - in the night...in the dark." (You get the idea.) For $10 - and a Blu-ray - YOU CAN'T MISS! JIM BACH Read full review

It is a film that makes an impossible story seem pretty realistic. Well acted , great cinematic style. It is paced slow , which I think is refreshing. Most anything directed by Robert Wise is going to be great.

If you like old fashioned psychological terror without gore or special effects, this is the movie for you. It's among the best of the haunted house movies and it's among the oldest, based on a book by Shirley Jackson. I've read both the novel and watched the movie and the movie with a screenplay by the author herself, Shirley Jackson, is a good adaption of the book. I recommend watching it.
