VHS Movie Reviews of The Uninvited [VHS]
Movie Review: The Uninvited
Summary: 5 Stars
For me, this is THE classic ghost story of all time. It's an amazing period piece of the 1930's, as a brother and sister up from London on vacation discover a deserted mansion atop the ocean cliffs. They fall in love with the place, and are able to buy it for "a song." Turns out the place, and the movie plot, is full of mystery, murder, and ghosts which will intrigue and frighten in a mental and spiritual way that no horror movies can match today. Or, few even matched back then.
It also has a fine love story, on several levels, and some nice comedy to boot.
You'll have a great time with this one, and I think it will be a favorite for you if you love classic gothic tales of suspense. I can't wait to get the DVD when it's available too.
Summary of The Uninvited [VHS]
One of the spookiest ghost stories ever put to film, The Uninvited is also one of the few classic haunted-house movies to treat the subject with respect and seriousness. Ray Milland and Ruth Hussey play a brother and sister who leave the city to live in a beautiful old house dramatically perched on a cliff overlooking the Cornish coast. As they discover some of the house's peculiarities--the unexplained chill that settles in certain rooms, the aroma of mimosas that wafts through the house, flowers that wilt when brought inside--they are told by local girl Gail Russell that the house is haunted, by the spirit of Russell's mother no less. The rationalist city folk first scoff at the idea but as Milland slowly falls in love with the frightened girl he investigates the legends and discovers some startling hidden truths. Donald Crisp costars as Russell's humorless, hard-bitten grandfather who forbids her visits to the house. Handsomely shot against the beautiful Cornish countryside, director Lewis Allen wisely suggests more than he shows and the uneasy tone and quietly restrained direction looks forward to such films as The Haunting and The Legend of Hell House. Though Allen ultimately reveals a suitably spine-tingling apparition, some of the film's best moments are chilling in their simplicity: nocturnal moans, slamming doors, and the dog's whimpering fear of the upstairs. --Sean AxmakerComedy VHS Video
