The Watcher In The Woods. 1980.

When a American family move to a English countryside cottage, the two daughters begin to hear and see things that were connected to a tragedy that happened 30 years earlier involving a twelve year old girl.

The era of the 80s when Disney went from making happy children films then going darker and probably terrifying to a younger audience but at least Bette Davis managed to keep her cool in this and not bitch slap people. Future Bond Girl Lynne Holly-Johnson plays the older sister who is seeing the apparition the deceased girl while Kyle Richards hears the voices. Ms Richards was a decent talented young actress before she became a a Real Diva...I mean a Real Housewife. There is some good co stars from Caroll Baker, Ian Bannen and David McCallum, even after 40 years this film hasn't really aged at all and still has some quite good suspense moments.
