Bob Anderson (Terry O’Quinn), a recent widower, moves in to a new house and starts a relationship with his neighbor (Kristy McNichol). But the ghost of the house has other ideas.
Quick Review: This film hits all the right notes for me. There are some blatant flaws (the clichéd narration, the limited camera work, the too-quick decisions from the characters) and I’ve never seen a copy that wasn’t too dark and grainy, but this is still a film to seek out. It follows the general “haunting” story. Terry O’Quinn plays the man who finds himself owning a haunted house and Kristy McNichol (yes, Kristy McNichol) does an adequate job as the neighbor who’s main purpose is to comment on events. Soon, our hero is surrounded by signs of ghostly activity, but we don’t have to sit through an hour of creaking boards. Instead, we get a beautiful woman in a candle-lit bath where both the woman and the candle flames vanish when the door is opened. There’s lots of atmosphere, suspense, romance, and just enough eroticism.
