Viewing Notes

40s MGM soft horror drama that’s period supernatural. One of the leads is James Mason but I didn’t know this bc he doesn’t look like Mason. However every time he speaks I’m like “that guy sounds like James Mason” and sure as shit it is him!

Movie is fine for having a haunted house that everyone treats so nonchalantly. A young woman begins doing things not of her will because a ghost is possessing her. She somehow has to fulfill the will the ghost, a woman who was murdered in the house. Not totally sure on it resolves but James Mason is happy in end.
