scary.......2008-02-29
I saw this film years ago I don't think I was very old, but it stayed with me. Now I've watched it again I realise why, very atmospheric, a very sad story line and well acted will definately recommend it to friends that like scary films.
A must see film.......2008-01-19
Probably shouldn't have, but I saw this one as a child and it really freaked me out. As an adult, it still does. It's a classic scary film. I highly recommended it.
I don't scare easily...but this creeped me out!.......2007-06-21
I would definitely recommend this film to anyone who likes a good chiller. My friend recommended it to me, saying that he will never look at wheelchairs in the same way again! This movie is all about atmosphere. It's well acted, well paced, and I got goosebumps in some parts - something which almost never happens to me. If you prefer them gorey or post-Scream ironic I'd stay well away because you'll be bored within half an hour!
Classic Chiller!.......2007-04-28
Although this film was made in 1979 its streets ahead of most of its more recent counterparts.Backboned by a totally plausible storyline, it has convincing supernatural interludes without being completely 'over the top'.
Briefly, its about a man trying to come to terms with the death of his wife and daughter.He moves to an old house in Seattle and of course the house is haunted.Wonderful acting by George C.Scott carries the story along brilliantly.The film is expertly directed by Peter Medak in a subtle and very convincing manner.
I originally saw this when it was first released and I thought it was superb.Recently I got it on dvd and thought it would seem very dated.Although slightly so.....its still pretty chilling.Definitely one to watch......but probably not alone!Highly recommended!
Real class........2007-01-16
I recommend that you allow yourself a giggle at the less subtle incongruities of this old school chiller, otherwise you might emerge completely shaken. It pushes all the right buttons. Set in an atmosphere of profound grief from the outset (and Seattle), it has the heart breaking betrayal of a child, a séance (with automatic writing), a body down a well, a burning house, bouncing balls, ghostly voices and a thoroughly appropriate score.
How would you react if, after reaching a ripe age and approaching the end of a successful political career, someone came into your office and told you that you had never been who you thought you were and that you are, in fact, a changeling? I think I'd be so confused I'd teleport.
At certain stages I had so many little shivers going on that they produced a rippling effect. That's the hallmark of a masterful ghost story.
