The Old Dark House
Seeking shelter from a relentless rainstorm and landslides in a remote region of Wales, five travelers are admitted to a large foreboding old house that belongs to the extremely strange Femm family. Sepulchral Horace Femm and his obsessive, inhospitable sister Rebecca are the group's peculiar hosts. The house also holds surprises - and a brutish mute manservant named Morgan.

An underrated, black and white, horror classic.
While this repeatedly commits an unforgivable sin - for me, at least - when it comes to horror; that is to say, it jams in comedy where it does not belong. I nevertheless enjoy it, and it does more right than wrong.
