This Disney co-production is a good comedown movie after Don't Answer The Phone. Ostensibly an old-fashioned haunted house movie it has just about enough tropes to qualify as horror despite a zero body count. Logic doesn't play a great part in the unwinding of the plot despite the winsome heroine's best efforts at exposition but it's watchable
An American family of four move into an old English country house owned by sad old Mrs Aylwood (Bette Davis) who's still on the premises. The two girls start seeing and hearing things which connect to the strange disappearance of Mrs Aylwood's daughter some 30 years earlier.
