If gothic horror had an entry in the dictionary, this film’s poster would be right beside it.

Interesting adaptation of Henry James's story. Well performed and chilling, but something is missing

I like the story. Any attemt to remake this has failed. This is the best version.

A textbook example of simple but really effective filmmaking. After enough scenes in the B&W shadowy manor you feel more paranoid then her.

Ahead of its time in terms of depictions of ghosts. Let the story slowly build, the ending is top tier.

Surprisingly tense and atmospheric for the time. Always keeps you guessing about the truth.
