The Uninvited (1944)
While vacationing on the English coast, composer Rick Fitzgerald and his sister Pamela discover an abandoned 18th-century house. Now, Rick tries to discover this house where he decided to buy it. In the end, Binary discovers that the reason why the price is so cheap is the past of the house, which seems to be full of evil.

An impressive, though outdated, old-fashioned ghost story.

The Uninvited was...one of the first films to treat the supernatural seriously, and to play ghosts and hauntings as something other than fodder for comedy.

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.

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

'This is the only way I can paint you,' says Milland, at the piano. 'Some black keys, and some white.' The speaker might as well be cinematographer Charles Lang, whose painterly compositions -- some black keys, and some white -- make this a spooky gem.

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.

Decidedly more spooky than scary.

The real strength of the film, though, is its atypical stance part way between psychology and the supernatural, achieving a disturbingly serious effect.

Its thrills and chills are little frissons that tickle the imagination instead of grabbing by the throat.

For modern audiences, the movie is more elegantly creepy than truly scary, but it still charms.
