Synopsis
The Uninvited (1944) is a Hollywood gothic horror film you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Lewis Allen. Ray Milland and Ruth Hussey play a London brother and sister who buy a clifftop house in Cornwall at a suspiciously low price.
The house is beautiful. Then the unexplained things start: a smell of dead flowers from no visible source, one room that stays cold regardless of the season, weeping in the night that only certain people can hear. A young woman named Stella — Gail Russell — feels drawn to the place in ways she cannot account for, connected to a mother who died there years before.
What made this film genuinely influential is its refusal to debunk the supernatural. Most haunted-house pictures of the era eventually revealed a human culprit behind the curtains; this one doesn't. Composer Victor Young wrote the score, including a melody that later became the jazz standard "Stella by Starlight." Elegant, unnerving, and still effective eighty years on.
