The Changeling

Very good ghost horror. Perfect direction, very good actors. (05/07/2008)

“How did you die, Joseph? Did you die in this house? Why do you remain?” A classic haunted house film with a detective tail that can send chills down your spine in such a way that contemporary ghost stories rolling off production lines should humbly take notes (the second act of the balloon pusher, a séance with automatic writing). A plus is that George C. Scott serves as a reliable bridge between the rational and the supernatural. Note: Perhaps it was for the sake of the plot, or maybe it’s because they’ve practically disappeared, but I was a bit surprised by how many phone booths were everywhere. (06/05/2021)

If it hadn't got so bogged down in the second half explaining to the viewer the facts that are already clear to the characters, I wouldn't have hesitated to give it a full rating. (25/07/2010)
