This is the haunting movie by which all others are measured, and if you watch it late at night with the lights out you will see what I mean....children who grew up on special effects will not appreciate how this black-and-white film uses lighting, music, and camera angles (and camera motion) to create possibly the best "haunted house" movie ever fimed.....roughly, it's about a ghost researcher renting a known "evil" house and gathering a small group of people known to have some psychic abilities or involvement in their pasts, and seeing what happens while they stay in the house...I won't go into details because it really is such a good movie, I don't want to spoil any surprises(even now, some 20 years after first seeing it, it still "works", so to speak)....one teaser: watch the statues.....

A late-in-his-career movie for a classic actor, Robert Taylor is just the man for this role-he wants to make some money but finds out it is "bad" money, and how will he fix the situation?....Dorothy Malone is, well, a 50's actress that was put into a lot of movies in the decade-this is one of them........overall, this is a "fly the plane in and out of fields late at night" movie, and it does it's job well.....(and Mr. Taylor's side kick was in two Bogart movies, Casablanca and To Have and Have Not, so he has good credentials). A Recommended movie.
