This was, more or less, Francis Ford Coppola's first directorial effort, and it's entirely different from his later films. The plot of this film, which is now in the public domain, focuses on a young woman attempting to be written into her mother-in-law's will just after her husband dies. She covers up the death and travels to a creepy castle, where mayhem ensues. If you at all like Francis Coppola's movies and/or horror films, you should at least consider this one.
Oh, and because I like little tidbits like this: Word on the street is that Tom Petty took the line "raised on promises" from this movie and used it in the song "American Girl." (I fully acknowledge that IMDb trivia is not the most credible source but it was the best I could do.)
Anyhow, if you find yourself intrigued, here's the film, courtesy of the ever-benevolent Archive.org.
