October Horror Movie Marathon

The Changeling (1980)



The first legitimately scary film of the season so far. George C Scott on his top form as usual, although a little more subdued (at least until the end) than usual.

There is a seance scene in this film that really creeped me out, it was really well done, it even managed to get in a jump scare that I could tell was coming but I still jumped a little.

There were a few beats that are very well known if you're a film fan that I wish I could have erased from my knowledge before watching the film, such as the ball bouncing down the stairs for the second time, and the child's wheelchair but they still really effective.

I've had this bluray in my collection for over 2 years unwatched so I'm really glad that my theme for Halloween this year is catching up on my watch list, it's been really fun so far!
