Kim Darby (True Grit) and Jim Hutton (The Green Berets) star as Sally and Alex, young marrieds who inherit a crumbling mansion. Despite warnings to leave well enough alone in her new home, Sally unlocks the mysterious room, opens a bricked-up fireplace - and unleashes a horde of hideous, whispering, murdering mini-demons only she can see and hear. Alex thinks she's imagining things. (official distributor synopsis)

Since the remake is one of my most anticipated horror films in the coming months, I thought I would first give a chance to the original version. If it’s any good, I think it’s proper to watch it before. Surprisingly, it’s quite good. A group of characters, one house and something evil in it, a classical combination that has worked many times, still works and will likely keep on working for quite some time. The “something evil” in this case are small bragging monsters that today, unfortunately, are not very scary; time has had an effect on them. Cheap, short and atmospheric flick.
