The House That Screamed is my top SMM discovery of the past couple of years. The balancing of the drama and thriller aspects is just right. This year I watched an example of girls boarding school horror from Mexico called Even The Wind Is Afraid (Hasta El Viento Tiene Miedo). Though not as good as HOUSE, it is an enjoyable watch. I found it on TUBI.
Check out "Veronica" (Netflix) and "The Voices" (2020, Con TV/Amazon Prime) for similar-in-context horror flicks to the one you liked. You're welcome. 😎🥳
