Great story well acted and unwraps at a decent pace. Spooky throughout really enjoyed it for an older horror.

"That house is not fit to live in. No one's been able to live in it. It doesn't want people."

The Changeling is pure class, a rare type of haunted house movie which is genuinely effective and frightening. Directed by Peter Medak, it's a horror movie short on jump scares and violence, but it succeeds because it's deftly made and insanely atmospheric. A superb mix of horror and myster... read more

Pros and Cons of Films: Vol. 1 (121 movies items)

"Pros: George C. Scott, and his performance in the film. The overall atmosphere of the film. It’s scary, and is a excellent example of horror, without over reliance on blood and gore. The Changeling is one of the best, if not most underrated haunted house films, of all time."

Fictional Places You Don’t Want To Visit (205 movies items)

"The Carmichael Mansion, Denver, Colorado Which is worse about this 1980 horror movie location? The supernatural hauntings that besiege it, or the unspeakable crime that gave rise to the hauntings? Most film buffs would likely state the latter. Why you wouldn’t want to visit: It’s haunted by ghosts."

"3.1. Blu-ray Kummitustarinat usein muistuttavat toisiaan. Usein ne myös menevät erityisellä tavalla ihon alle. The Changeling ei varsinaisesti ole poikkeus. Kummitustalo ei sinänsä tuota uhkaa, eikä tulevaa erityisesti jännitä, mutta välitön tunnelma ja tarinan käänteet nostattavat pelkoa väitetysti kokeneessakin katsojassa. Tarina pitää erinomaisesti otteessaan ja saa pohtimaan menetyksen monikasvoista traagisuutta ja sen vaikutuksia."
