Plot:
Newly married Eric, brings his rich but nervous bride to the palatial home he inherited from his first wife after she drowned. There, the newlyweds are haunted by her ghost. Horror ensues.
Reaction and Other Folderol:
Ethan put it best when he called this movie "a good fun fifties film."
SS isn't particularly deep, but it's a lot of fun. The scares are humorous, the visual effects are great, and the story itself is spooky. In some ways it plays like an extended Twilight Zone. The red herrings are good distractions, and the element of gaslighting adds interest.
This really was a fun film.
