CAN ANYBODY RECOMMEND ANY OTHER SIMILAR MOVIE?

The Haunting of Julia made a deep impression on me when i was in elementary school. the next one which comes to mind, which i actually like even more, but first saw around the same time, is The Other, from 1972. this is not to be confused with "The Others" which i liked very much but which in contrast,to me, seems pretty tame. "The Other" is a really atmospheric, real american-gothic, severe punch-you-in-the-gut kind of horror flick... not in a flashy, schlocky way but more tragic/dramatic. though it may not be quite as much of a ghost story in such a clearcut sense, it's morbid & haunting. check it out. it was just recently released for the first time on dvd. --AND, as far as recent ghostie stuff goes, i thought 2006's "The Abandoned" was amazing.

The movie The Other from the 70s .. and if you like this type of horror read "houses without doors" by peter straub the author of the book the movie "the haunting of julia" was based on...

"Don't Look Now" (1973) and "Lady in White" (1988). "Ghost Story" (1980), based on the book by the same author as "Julia".

I agree with most of these suggestions and am looking forward to a couple I had not heard of.

I really liked Session 9. It was spookey and in the same way the Haunting Of Julia, leaves it open for interpretation, as far as the ending resulting in maddness or a supernatural event, Session 9 does the same, in a brilliant way. i

And A Tale Of Two Sisters, (a Korean film), is another of my top ten favorite "haunting" movies.

Burnt Offerings

Carnival of Souls (original)

The Initiation of Sarah (original)



"I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus."
"Didn't he discover America?"
"Penfold, shush."

The Legacy - Sam Eliot

The Changeling with George C. Scott!
You will have to speak up, I am wearing a towel

Don't Go to Sleep (1982) ~ Apparently, this TV movie traumatized a lot of people who saw this in childhood. It still holds up as a creepy movie with a vengeful spirit.
Half Light(2006) with Demi Moore
Portrait of Jennie (1948)
The Daisy Chain (2008)
Dorothy Mills (2008)
Sandcastles (1972)
Stevie (2008)

None of these have the horror element of "The Haunting of Julia"/"Full Circle", but there is somewhat of the same dreamy atmosphere. There are some good suggestions, but standouts are "The Changeling", "The Haunting" (1960), "Burnt Offerings", and "The Innocents".

"Ghost Story" would have made far more sense if they had kept her an elemental, NOT a ghost! In Straub's novel, she is an entirely different type of being.

As with "Poltergeist", the title is intended to be misleading. In the film, they Initially refer to the incident as poltergeist activity when, instead, it is a haunting.

EDIT: I had to come back and list a movie that would seem off-the-wall, but I know what it has cast its spell on a generation and even further, since I was one of those much older when the film aired. Most people spent their life looking for the title of this film:
The Bermuda Depths (1978 TV movies)
