“Very spooky and genuinely disturbing film, that completely avoids all the stereotypical u0026quot;shock valuesu0026quot; in favor of a purely psychological chiller that relies on its script and actors to get over instead. Of particular note are the children in this film, all of whom lack the pre-groomed and pre-prepared feel of some child actors and instead give a superbly realistic performance. Dirk Bogarde is surprisingly good in his role as a gold-digger, and his unforced interaction with the kids only adds more depth.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnother of this movies strong points is that it provokes thought more from insinuation than actions, leaving a lot open to the interpretation of the viewer. Different people will see different u0026quot;thingsu0026quot; when viewing this! Highly Recommended old classic that deserves a viewing.”
