This is an excellent ghost story. It is atmospheric and has a great gimmick. It involves a young couple who buy a house, unseen, overlooking a cliff. The local residents, like in any good story, know that something is wrong in the house. As is always the case, the young people and their realtor, who knows some of the history, laugh about it. We find out that there is something about mirrors in the house having been responsible for deaths that has the locals spooked. The young man, played by William Shatner, has a history. He had a rough time in Korea and is rather fragile. When it comes to a fainting scene, he's the one who faints. Of course, we've been set up for the mirrors from the opening scene. The plot is developed slowly and the young couple try their best to avoid some awful truths. The realtor begins to realize that he has made a mistake in selling the house. The special effects are quite good. The key thing, however, is that this is again based on one of Robert Bloch's stories. He is one of our very best writers of supernatural and horror fiction (e.g. "Psycho"). I think this is a real achievement for a series I was ready to give up on.
