À quoi s’attendre
Paul Leni makes architecture elastic through gliding cameras, curtains, corridors, and hands emerging from darkness. The film’s blend of Gothic threat and nervous comedy became a model for the old-dark-house tradition.
Comment aborder le film
The relatives are meant to look suspicious, so let the will establish their motives before trying to solve the mystery. Watch curtains and wall spaces; the house often moves before a character understands why.

I start by searching the shadows for a person, then realise the house itself has learnt comic timing. A curtain pauses, a panel waits, and suddenly architecture seems delighted that everyone is frightened.
