Description

A pair of siblings (Ministry of Fear’s Ray Milland and The Philadelphia Story’s Ruth Hussey) from London purchase a surprisingly affordable, lonely cliff-top house in Cornwall, only to discover that it actually carries a ghostly price; soon they’re caught up in a bizarre romantic triangle from beyond the grave. Rich in atmosphere, THE UNINVITED, directed by Lewis Allen (Suddenly), was groundbreaking for the seriousness with which it treated the haunted-house genre, and it remains an elegant and eerie experience, featuring a classic score by Victor Young (Written on the Wind). A tragic family past, a mysteriously locked room, cold chills, bumps in the night—this gothic Hollywood classic has it all.

    • THE UNINVITED DVD from CRITERION COLLECTION
This is a 5 star movie for me and always has been. The Criterion DVD is excellent quality, clear B/W picture and good sound, with an interesting booklet. BUT... It clearly states here on the Amazon description that there are English SUBTITLES (Sorry to shout!) - Well there aren't! Now is this the fault of Criterion or Amazon? My wife is hard of hearing, thus prompting me to seek out Subs on our favourite films. I am in the U/k and if I had purchased this copy from here I would return it, but to the States??? That is my complaint, but as you can read I still say this is a well worthwhile purchase providing you don't need Subs. (P.S. Over 700 reviews!! No One will read this, but it is important!) ... show more

    • A Couple of Side Thoughts
Of course I love The Uninvited, just want to add a couple of side thoughts not mentioned so far (as of now.) There is one jaw-dropping moment, when the brother and sister get to unlock the "haunted" room, and Ruth Hussey says something like, "no wonder they keep this room locked, it's so ugly." I have always just been thinking, What a gorgeous room! That fabulous skylighted windowt! That view of the cliffs and the ocean!! Well, actors have to follow the script. As for the cast -- I belong to the school of thought that loves the performance of Cornelia Otis Skinner as Mrs. Holloway, as soon as she shows up I think she steals the movie. But nobody has mentioned the canine actor who plays the role of Bobby the terrier -- I read somewhere that he's the same actor who played Toto in The Wizard of Oz. Type cast as usual as the mischievous little doggy.! That's Hollywood for you. ... show more

    • Finally!!!!!!!!
I love this movie. First time I saw this movie was on Halloween. Just a little scary movie in tcm and there was nothing else on so I watched it. I love old movies and while I didn't think it was all that scary I still loved it. I have been waiting for this movie to come to Amazon prime for a very long time. And when it did I purchased it right away. If your a fan of old movies this is really a good one. ... show more

    • Clean restoration of a 1944 gentle ghost story.
The Criterion restoration is excellent. Very good image quality and sound throughout. (I have not looked into any extras, so no comment.) As soft-edged ghost stories go, this is extremely soft. Comparing it to "House on Haunted Hill," which itself is very gentle by modern standards (but still nicely spooky/atmospheric), this is milder-still, by another step or two. But genre-wise, it's still wholly a ghost story. So, if you want a gentle walk at the outer edges of Spookville, that doesn't remotely play with your head at bedtime, this one suits perfectly. The script plays understandably like something from 1944. I took the gender stereotypes in stride, and found them fairly innocuous for their era, but some might feel less unfazed. The main characters are not quite fully dimensional, but are serviceable enough in their roles. The extremely young Gail Russel is stunning and charming; she may be the best reason to buy this. A couple of supporting characters do some nice work too. The plot has enough complexity and a twist or two, to hold one's interest (without being any masterpiece). The pacing and cinematography are not bad, considering the small budgets and short production times of films in those days. Not quite a classic, but pleasant. The setting is pretty: cliff over an ocean, beautiful old stately homes. It even looks a little stunning in 4:3 black-and-white. I enjoyed these elements. ... show more

    • Classic Ghost Story of the Silver Screen Boasts Surprisingly Modern Twists
When I discovered that Lewis Allen’s 1944 ghost story The Uninvited had been released on Blu-ray by Criterion, I ordered it immediately. It has long been my favorite ghost story for its genuinely creepy moments as well as other aspects of its storyline. Produced in 1944, the film is set in 1937. It boasts a long list of ghostly devices which have since become standard in the creepiest of supernatural movies – eerie shadows, old houses, unearthly moaning and sobbing, séances, secrets from the past and cold, clammy palms. The film is part ghost story, part who-done-it mystery and part romance. The main attribute that still makes it work is the layered subplots and skillful deduction required to uncover the truth from the past. Granted, as special effects go, modern audiences will find this film poorly executed or even silly, but to audiences looking for a thrill in 1944, it was top of the line. Even today, there are certain aspects of the story that audiences are apt to overlook. One of those is the scarcely hinted-at lesbianism of the main specter, Mary Meredith. There are, throughout the dialogue, hints that the evil Miss Holloway and Mary were lovers. I was delighted to note that this part of the story was briefly touched upon in the essay by Farran Smith Nehme, which appears in the accompanying booklet, although, as with the lesbian back story in the film, one has to read between the lines to find it. In the film, Miss Holloway gazes at the sensual portrait of Mary Meredith which hangs in her office (!) and says, “They shan’t ever find out, my darling, I promise you…” Later she muses, “Mary was a goddess; her skin was radiant…The nights we sat talking in front of that fireplace, planning our whole lives. It wasn’t flirtations and dresses we talked about. We were no silly, giggling girls. We intended to conquer life”. Later, when reading from the diary of his predecessor, Dr. Scott, referring to Mary, says, “if I did not know how she herself had feared and refused motherhood…” Of course, this part of the plot could hardly be forthright in the 1944 presentation, but in her essay, Ms. Nehme quotes a letter from the head censor of the Catholic League of Decency as follows: “In certain theatres, large audiences of questionable type attend this film at unusual hours,” drawn by “certain erotic and esoteric elements in the film.” The letter concluded with a warning to “guard against such subject matter on the screen” in the future. Indeed, it has since acquired almost a mythical status with gay audiences. In this and in other ways, The Uninvited was well ahead of its time. Anyone who has a taste for classic cinema is almost guaranteed to enjoy it. This Criterion Edition Blu-ray is presented in its original aspect ratio of 1.37:1 and has been restored with a remastered soundtrack from a 35 mm print. Highly recommended. ... show more
