The Changeling

George C Scott

Pretty good ghost story from the late 70's. Creepy sounds were used effectively to chill your bones like in The Haunting. Half way through the tone shifted to a sort of morality play...righting old wrongs...affirming the inevitability of justice...hollywood reality stuff. This hurt but not as much as GS in the lead...his barrel-chested stiffness and formality seemed all wrong for the role. Cast as a great composer...I didn't think so.

I had fond memories of the chills this film provided but had forgotten its flaws.
