10/10
Beware Of Old Houses With Long Histories
31 August 2002
Warning: Spoilers
The casting of Ray Milland and Ruth Hussey as siblings buying an old house by the sea shore is a wonderful beginning to an excellent movie. Rick and Pam Fitzgerald decide to buy the house but have no idea of what they are getting into. This decision will change the course of both of their lives. Bobby the family dog and the maid's cat refuse to ascend up the long staircase knowing that someone or something is waiting there. If only people could see with the eyes of an animal because the Fitzgeralds would see the dangerous woman that waits for them and also for Gail Russell playing Stella Meredith. Stella (age 3) was found on the cliff edge when two women were fighting and one of them fall over the cliff to her death. Was it a murder or just an accident? Poor Stella doesn't know except that her dead mother wishes for her to stay close to this house. An evil present in the house tries her best to get Stella to jump off the cliff. Can Rick and Pam save Stella from death? Can they find out the long hidden truth of the incident nearly 17 years prior? In an age of special effects, this movie has few, but this movie is a classic without the effects. You will love the characters and the plot. Enjoy!
