The Shuttered Room (1967)


 
 
Engaging British horror movie based loosely on a HP Lovecraft story and set on the remote Dunwich island, supposedly near New York but actually filmed in Norfolk.
  Carol Lynley returns to her childhood home with new husband Gig Young only to face hostility from the local delinquents and warnings of a family curse from everyone else.
 Oliver Reed is suitably psychotic as one of the islanders and adds to the overall sense of dread that the movie creates so well.
  There's a manic jazz soundtrack that i personally didn't like too much but that was really the only negative point to this enjoyable film.
