The Unnaturals

Schreie in der Nacht

1969 ·1h 23m · ★ 6.0 (20)

During a thunderstorm, a group of members of London's high society seek refuge in a remote mansion in the countryside. They are received by Uriat and his mother, who appears to be able to communicate with the dead. The guests engage in a séance, but it will reveal each and everyone's darkest secrets.

Why it matters

A moody chamber horror that channels gothic dread into a claustrophobic séance revealing the rot beneath polite society’s veneer.

  • An early example of European psychodrama-horror hybrid, blending supernatural mystique with social critique.
  • The stormy, isolated mansion setting is drenched in atmosphere — think fog-shrouded giallo meets English folk horror.
  • Practical effects and shadowy cinematography heighten the sense of unease without relying on overt scares.
  • Fans of seance-centered narratives and slow-burn psychological unraveling will appreciate its patient, unsettling reveal.
