About House of Ghosts
Professor Hermes conducts a research on fear, for which he passes contract with a patient to live a supposedly empty mansion. He's counting on his assistant Chico Mota to play a phantom, but soon comes about that there are phantoms (plural) in there.
Directed by Pedro Martins, House of Ghosts leans on a strong ensemble — António Silva, Francisco Ribeiro, Henrique Santana — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1964.
