Anyone seen The Changeling (1980)?


I always thought the movie cover looked cool at video stores as a kid, so I bought it on Blu-Ray on eBay.

Yes, saw it last week. My review: The film is very effective, eerie, and atmospheric, with lots of chills and spooky stuff going on. Scott does a very good job in the lead role. The Changeling is a well crafted ghost story and my rating is an 8/10.

Awesome, that’s mostly what I’ve read. The story and conspiracy sound fascinating.

My favorite ghost story movie.

One of my favorite horror movies. I watched it a few years ago and it scared the crap out of me.

Good to know...I've never see this one but if Scott is in it it's probably pretty good

reply

Not my favorite. Too much horror movie clichés.

reply

Yes. It's just a boring run of the mill haunted house movie.

reply

Yes, it's excellent up until the last half hour or so. I didn't like the end, but George C. Scott knocked it out of the park for most of it.

reply

Yeah, it's pretty good. Great atmosphere.
