A favorite of mine. I was a long time Rocky Horror fan and never knew where the character "Dr Scott" was stolen from. This is where.
***1/2. I believe that the sole flaw of this film is to be a mainstream movie. The first hour of THE UNINVITED is unfortunately marked by the worst Hollywood stigmata: a stupid love story, ridiculous scenes like the sailing trip and, most of all, Ray Milland's attempt to lighten the atmosphere by trying to be funny. If you can forget them, you'll enjoy then the last part of the film which, I must admit it, presents some of the most impressive ghost scenes I ever seen on screen. Recommended.
P.S. I just saw it again and it's damn creepy, especially for an American film from this period (1944). I'll be keeping the lights on tonight.
I love this movie. Kinda spooky and much more effective at creating a genuinely eerie mood than 99% of contemporary films.
