At last they've come up with a great haunted house story. Not too much gore, just creepy eeriness. The writing is great, the story leaves you wondering what is going on. (Spoilers) They deal with real issues like infidelity, miscarriage, teen angst, down syndrome, although that little girl is not your typical down syndrome child. However, her mother, played by Jessica Lange is fabulous. A polite, albeit pushy southern bell type, yet, "If you touch my child again, I'll break your arm". I love the house, starting in 1978 when it was decrepit, and falling apart, to present day when it has been completely refurbished. I would love to explore a house like that. The use of split second visions, leaves you wondering, what did I just see? I think this is going to be a great series, I can't wait for more!

The Uninvited
(1944)
One of the best ghost stories around
28 October 2002
The best thing about this movie is there are no special effects. And there are only glimpses of ghosts. They leave it to your imagination, instead of putting a fake ghost in front of you. Eerie, spooky, funny. This movie has always been on my list of favorites!
