There are a number of things that stick in my mind when thinking about this seventies horror film. It’s not gory, there are very few special effects, the house is pretty scary to look at, and that choir-based soundtrack is damn spooky.
The story centres on a family that moves into a bargain priced house, which turns out to have been the scene of a rather grizzly murder. A whole chain of events follow that add light to the original murders. It appears that the house is haunted in some way and the new owners are likely to go the same way as the last.
While the plot is fairly straightforward (and apparently based on a true story) the actual execution of the movie is intricately relayed. There are lots if jumps and tense moments that build the momentum up the superb climax of the film.
I will always remember the scene where the husband returns to the house in the storm and glance up at the upstairs window to see some form of ghost watching him … superb.
This is definitely one of those films to watch with the lights off!
