I was excited to find this old movie on TV this week. I am about 70% to my goal of seeing every Bette Davis movie, a task made almost impossible by the fact that very few BD movies made after 1970 are shown on TV/available online. So this was a nice surprise. Being that Karen Black was in it, I expected it to be a little campy. I was in high school when Trilogy of Terror came out and that little Zuni doll still scares me. But I digress...
The Rolf family (Marian, Ben, son Davey and Aunt Elizabeth) find a gorgeous summer rental, an old mansion owned by the wealthy Allerdyce family. They only need to take care if the elderly matriarch who lives on the top floor (and, of course, who we never see.)
After a few very odd occurrences, Ben feels there's something up with the house but Marian refuses to leave...even after poor Aunt Elizabeth dies under suspicious circumstances.
Of course the house eventually takes over. So the moral of this story is if someone practically gives you a place to stay for very little money, don't fall for it....
