Au cours d'un séjour dans les Cornouailles, Roderick Fitzgerald et sa sœur Pamela achètent, pour une petite somme dérisoire, une superbe maison surplombant une falaise. Ils s'y installent, mais dès la première nuit, leur sommeil est troublé par les sanglots mystérieux d'une femme.

A pair of siblings (Ministry of Fear’s RAY MILLAND and The Philadelphia Story’s RUTH HUSSEY) from London purchase a surprisingly affordable, lonely cliff‐top house in Cornwall, only to discover that it actually carries a ghostly price; soon they’re caught up in a bizarre romantic triangle from beyond the grave. Rich in atmosphere, The Uninvited, directed by LEWIS ALLEN (Suddenly), was ground‐breaking for the seriousness with which it treated the haunted‐house genre, and it remains an elegant and eerie experience, featuring a classic score by VICTOR YOUNG (Written on the Wind). A tragic family past, a mysteriously locked room, cold chills, bumps in the night—this gothic Hollywood classic has it all.
