Acerca deste filme

In an old New England house believed to be haunted, an ESP researcher enlists the help of two mediums to join the skeptical owner in the hopes they can learn more about the source of the house's evil reputation. From the moment they walk through the door, things take a turn for the worse. Make sure your seat is comfortable because you'll be spending most of this nail-biting movie seated on its edge. Starring Emmy and Tony-winner Julie Harris (TV's "Knots Landing," "Gorillas in the Mist"), Claire Bloom ("Crimes and Misdemeanors") and Oscar-nominee Russ Tamblyn ("Seven Brides for Seven Brothers," "Peyton Place"). Directed by Academy Award-winner Robert Wise ("The Sound of Music," "West Side Story," "Star Trek - The Motion Picture"). Leonard Maltin gives it 3 1/2 stars and warns, "Don't see this one alone!"

Pretty good movie, not much of a horror, but if you love horror it's nice to see where a lot of the good modern movies got their ideas from.

It's a classic..filled with "scary" sounds and slamming doors...and other clichés. No "horror" what so ever. I don't understand the hype at all..I kept waiting for SOMETHING to happen. Yaaaaaawn..zzz zzz

Terrifying! As a lover of scary movies, this is one of the most truly frightening movies I've ever seen. Don't underestimate the power of a psychological thriller! The first time I watched this, I clenched my hands together so tightly that I had trouble untangling my fingers (stiff from squeezing) at the end of the movie. Scary, and it doesn't get less scary on successive viewings.
