The Uninvited (1944)


What a cool movie! The Uninvited is a bit of a generic anomaly. It's definitely a ghost story, but I am not sure it's much of a horror movie or monster movie. I mean, there is a scary ghost who haunts the house, but this is charming and romantic for much of the story, and it never really moves into scary territory. The score and photography are both excellent.

I watched this right before it was about to leave the Criterion Channel on January 31st and I'm so glad I did. This is not to be missed.
