Mervyn Johns plays an architect called in to consult on a job in an English Farmhouse who arrives and when he meets the owner's guests, becomes convinced that he has somehow dreamt the place and people in a recurring nightmare, and their collective attempt to sort this out by recounting their own supernatural experiences, which leads to a most unexpected revelation as night falls.
Excellent British film from 1945 with several contributing directors and five memorable separate stories is among the first anthology films ever made, and ranks as one of the best, not a dud story in the bunch (the golfing ghost story is intentionally frivolous, though amusing), and the climax is genuinely chilling and unexpected. Stands up to multiple viewings.
