Title: The Unwanted
Review: I saw this recommended by a few people reviewing The Haunting(1963), so I thought it might be good. What a disappointment.Except for the girl, the acting is atrocious and overdone, 1930s style. They even have the temerity to show the ghost and give us a logical explanation of events. Bang goes all sense of mystery and intrigue.The more this movie sinks in, the more it becomes obvious that it's a cheap imitation of Rebecca(1940). The coastal setting, the dead hand of the past, the sexual intrigue...the similarities go on. But Rebecca is scary (if a bit slow-starting)whereas this only offers a bit of nice scenery.Gail Russell does a great job as Stella, just exactly what you'd expect from a sensitive girl in such a situation; hence 2 stars.Watch Rebecca to appreciate the difference between acting and hamming. If you really want to be scared, watch The Haunting.
