Based on Shirley Jackson's famed novel The Haunting of Hill House, Wise's atmospheric and tense adaptation sends chills down the spine as a group of psychically gifted people are invited by Professor Markway to unravel the mysteries of Hill House. Claire Bloom stands out as stylish bisexual Theo who takes a shine to the timid Eleanor (a brilliant Julie Harris) whose fragile hold on the world is threatened by the malevolent forces at work in this classic haunted house tale.
