(1974)
plot summary:
Edward Foster (Robert Hardy), the former Head of an Asylum, gets called to Andrew Marr's, a patient's, death bed and ends up inheriting his house which is rumored to be haunted. Instead of being scared off, he decides to renovate it because ccording to Marr's dying words, there is a fortune hidden behind one of the walls, and Foster intends to find it. What he doesn't know is that the doctor of the previous owner, Dr. Ian Mandeville (Christopher Lee) and his sister Sarah (Joan Collins) as well as Prescott (Herbert Lom), the solicitor, also know that there are two suitcases of money hidden somewhere.
They didn't count on Edward being violently deranged and that he can see the past of the house. Foster also has to contend with the issue of ghosts, the spirits of Marr's murdered wife, children and mistress Alta (Jane Birkin) haunting the decrepit property. Foster slowly finds himself possessed by Marr's spirit, causing him to experience visions from long ago. This enables him to deftly weave together the present and the past, ultimately revealing the secret behind the mysterious deaths of Marr's dearest, and the location of the missing money. He has a flashback to Marr killing his crazy children (with a sabre), the pair having done away with Alta by stabbing her with a big knife and bricking up all of the dead bodies - and the money - inside the house.
These flashbacks lead to Fosteer ridding his home of the others, just in time for the police to show up.
