Dark Places (1973)

A doctor (Christopher Lee) and his sister (Joan Collins) mean to get their hands on the 200,000 pounds stashed in the derelict Marr's Grove mansion. Unfortunately, a stranger (Robert Hardy in a dual role) to the district inherits the allegedly haunted mansion. As the new owner succumbs to the influence of the long dead inhabitants, madness and murder ensue. Directed by Don Sharp (KISS OF THE VAMPIRE), this ghostly horror film is reminiscent of the late Hammer offerings. It's well done and has a suitably creepy atmosphere but its violent narrative (its body count is high) is just connecting the familiar dots. Horror fans should enjoy it, I know I had a good time with it despite its predictability. With Jane Birkin, Herbert Lom and Jean Marsh.
