Rating:  - A Movie That Scared My Sister, YEAH BABY!!!
I remember when showing this video VHS tape first time to my sister, my sister was " Glued " to the TV and when the wet ball came bouncing down the stairs and which George C. Scott was puzzled and scared himself - my dad was in the kitchen heating coffee in the Microwave oven and pouring milk into it, while my sister - sitting in the family room watching this scene...remember kitchen is next to family room, and my sister was seated with the kitchen wall behind her...well when that scene came on, let me tell you what...my dad told me to keep quiet...by shushing with his finger in front of his mouth without sound, and he lightly tapped my sisters shoulder, and you would have thought the space shuttle just took off.....wooosh, up her royal behind, and man was she angry ... sweet revenge. That is right....sweet revenge on my sister played by my dad.
I keep that movie around, because it reminds me of that one showing. Great memories too.
Rating: - A VERY SCARY LITTLE FILM
I HAD SEEN THIS FILM IN THE MOVIES YEARS AGO. IT LOOKS GREAT ON VHS TAPE. GEORGE C. SCOTT PLAYS THE MAIN CHARACTER WHO LOSES HIS WIFE AND DAUGHTER IN A FREAK CAR ACCIDENT THAT'S NEVER REALLY EXPLAINED IN THE FILM. HIS REAL WIFE TRISH VAN DEVERE PLAYS HIS LOVE INTEREST IN THE FILM. HE WAS A GREAT ACTOR, AND YOU CAN SEE IT HERE. THE FILM IS INTERESTING AND KEEPS YOUR ATTENTION. IT'S NOT A SLASHER OR BLOODY FILM BY NO MEANS. IT IS JUST PLAIN SCARY WITH A TWIST. IT'S NOT FOR CHILDREN. THERE ARE SOME SCENES THAT COULD GIVE YOU NIGHTMARES. THE FILM REMINDS ME OF A LATER FILM: THE SIX SENSE. IT HAS THAT QUALITY. SCOTT PLAYS A MUSICIAN/PIANO/TEACHER WHO LOSES HIS FAMILY AT THE BEGINNING OF THE FILM. HE RENTS A OLD MANSION TO DO HIS MUSIC WRITING IN WASHINGTON STATE WHERE HE BEGINS TO HEAR STRANGE NOISES THAT CAN'T BE EXPLAINED. RENT THIS FILM OR BUY IT. IT'S GREAT FOR A SATURDAY NIGHT AT HOME, OR FOR HALLOWEEN. I HOPE THIS REVIEW HELPS. THANK YOU.
Rating: - Amazing Ghost Story
This movie is perfect. The music fits the movie and is in the right places, the effects are quick and effective, and the cast is great. The seance is probably my favorite part of the film, it was very creepy. Its a very underrated piece of horror film history. Ive seen all the classic horror movies and this movie should be up there in the top 10 or 5 at least. I highly recommend this movie. Its rated R but it does not have swearing or any gore. Its a mystery why its rated R.
Rating: - The classic ghost movie.
I saw the Changeling in the cinema and never have I been so dang scared. This coming from someone who can sit and watch "The Exorcist" without flinching.
Beautifully acted, this movie doesn't depend upon bangs and whistles and some of the most scary scenes are basically the most simple.. child's whispers and suspense, dark stairs, balls bouncing ..
I jumped in many scenes and also felt the sadness that George C Scott so beautifully portrays.
Must see. Absolutely a must see movie.
Rating: - Other horror movies WISH they could touch this one...
THE best spooky, haunted house/ghost movie of all time, no matter that it was made in the late 70's, it STILL stands up to the test of time.
Most Horror movies pale next to this one, what with all their stupid, boring, cheezy, special effects, blood/gore, killers,etc.etc.
I literally wore out my VHS copy when I was given the DVD a few years ago.
Now every Halloween this movie is watched..and several times!
It gives goosebumps and nightmares with every single watch, too!
Go ahead, WATCH IT ALONE, Go ahead! I DARE YA!;)
