Movies that feel likeThe Uninvited (1944)

A pair of siblings from London purchase a surprisingly affordable, lonely cliff-top house in Cornwall, only to discover that it actually carries a ghostly price—and soon they’re caught up in a bizarre romantic triangle from beyond the grave.

If you loved The Uninvited, the closest films we have are I Walked with a Zombie (1943), Vampyr (1932) and Carnival of Souls (1962). All three share The Uninvited's twisty and dread feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Next of Kin (1982).
