I haven't heard much about this but gave it a watch alone at night and was surprised how creepy it is and also how influential it's been on ghost movies since, movies like The Ring, The Others, The Devils Backbone and Stir of Echoes.
A musician moves to a new town to start fresh and ends up renting an old historical house. He is woken by strange banging and discovers a hidden room upstairs. The mystery of whose room this was and why they still seem to be lingering in the house begins.
Everything that makes this great would never happen in a movie today it's subtle, the main character is an older guy, no jump cuts, no over the top sound effects it's slow paced and there's no swearing - ok apart from son of a bitch.
YES - classy and genuinely scary
