It's my impression The Old Dark House by JB Priestley is considered an icon of classic filmdom. Thought lost for many years, the 1932 film was found in 1968 and has recently undergone a 4K restoration. The movie opens with a couple and their male friend driving on a rough country road in a horrific rainstorm. Fortunately they come upon a large, old house and seek refuge. The three are reluctantly admitted into the residence by a less than accommodating elderly couple and a frightening butler played by Boris Karloff. Shortly there after a second car arrives at the house with an odd young couple also seeking refuge. We find there are more people in the house than originally thought and what  transpires between the 5 travelers and the residents is ... well old and dark. Icon it may be and worth the watch, but not on my list of favorites.  Billed as both drama and comedy, it's rather goofy and mundane in terms of shock value.
