Julia Lofting (Mia Farrow) is struggling after a tragedy. Her daughter chocked to death. Her desperate intervention failed to save her. Her wealthy husband Magnus is unhelpful. She leaves him and buys her own posh London house. Mark Berkeley (Tom Conti) is her friend. She fears harassment from Magnus, but the house is actually haunted.
Mia Farrow is just spooky in her pixie cut. It's nine years after Rosemary. She has the same haunted frailty. I would like more ghost action and earlier. The girl doesn't appear until the end. As it stands, it's more a personal internal character study than a horror movie. It's atmospheric, but it's never scary. It is odd that the film didn't get its American release until years later. It's very 70's.
