Lewis Allens The Uninvited (1944) is one of Hollywoods first serious haunted house films, following a brother and sister who move into a seaside mansion plagued by restless spirits. Blending eerie atmosphere, gothic suspense, and a groundbreaking approach to ghostly horror, it remains a cornerstone of classic supernatural cinema.

Criterion Collection

A pair of siblings from London (Ray Milland and Ruth Hussey) purchase a surprisingly affordable, lonely cliff-top house in Cornwall, only to discover that it actually carries a ghostly price and soon theyre caught up in a bizarre romantic triangle from beyond the grave. Rich in atmosphere, The Uninvited, directed by Lewis Allen, was groundbreaking for the seriousness with which it treated the haunted-house genre, and it remains an elegant and eerie experience, featuring a classic score by Victor Young. A tragic family past, a mysteriously locked room, cold chills, bumps in the night this gothic Hollywood classic has it all.

Från IMDB:
A composer and his sister discover that the reason they are able to purchase a beautiful gothic seacoast mansion very cheaply is the houses unsavory past.
