interesting the way it was fairly effective as more of a psychological horror...
Nothing was ever seen, no FX .. it was the way the house was filmed that built up the suspense.
still .. the characters were fairly 2 dimentional, except Theo.
This is pretty typical of a lot of these older films .. the characters are handled in a very hamfisted manner... very black and white ..
(eg. the 'money guy' cares only about money - untill the last possible moment in the film ..no gradual developement)
Cool to see Lois Maxwell as something other than Moneypenny..

Most of the characters back then were two dimensional anyways...still we had some pretty decent directors and actors...but the characterisation in movies sucked...
