Good flick.

1. Mesmerizing

It's a movie I would have loved to watch with my best friend Peter on a sleepover when we were kids. A perfect freak-out we would have talked about for years.

3. The walk to the houmfort is perfectly chilling.

Poetry of the shadows, like a moving surrealist painting.

2. If you liked that, you need to see Lewton's "Isle Of The Dead"

One of the best films in Karloff's career.

5. Based on Jane Eyre, I believe. Also check out Lewton's 'The Seventh Victim' n/t
