Our Mother's House (1967)(dvd)

Synopsis: This is a weird and often chilling horror story about some children (including a pre-Oliver! Mark Lester) who bury their mother's dead body in the garden and carry on as if she were still alive. Then shifty cockney Dirk Bogarde shows up, claiming to be their errant father. Set in a derelict house in Croydon, it's like a rehash of Henry James's The Turn of the Screw, which director Jack Clayton had previously filmed in 1961 as The Innocents.

Bogarde and Clayton believed they had failed honourably, but Italian director Luchino Visconti thought it was a “beautiful” film and hired Bogarde for The Damned and Death in Venice on the strength of it.
