Short and sweet....and scary!

So short and compact that this British film didn't end up on American movie streams, but rather on a TV series, and it probably would have done well as a second feature on an American Drive-In screen. The film features the mystery of a house and the couple who wants to purchase it, getting a glimpse into its past through the housekeeper who shows them around and ultimately a sound where someone in a trance reveals the complex past it has, involving murder and revenge and some very truly shocking twists. What happened before ties in what happens when the couple shows up to look at the house, being sold for a very low price, and revealing an obvious sinister presence that doesn't reveal itself until the shocking ending. Decent performances by mainly an unknown cast (only Nanette Newman was familiar to me), and the type of film where the less known the better. This definitely could have had follow-ups where more apparitions are revealed, because this isn't just a house of mystery. It is a house of many secrets and unsettled spirits.
