I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

the audience applauded

It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

A man, recovering from the recent deaths of his wife and child in an automobile accident in New York state, moves across the country to Washington. There he tries to move on with his life as a musical composer by moving into a large Victorian style house in the country. Strange things begin to happen, however, water taps turned on, a window smashing on its own, his daughter's rubber ball inexplicably bouncing down a towering staircase and, above all, thunderous bangs periodically echoing throughout the house for no apparent reason.The man realizes that something is trying to communicate with him in this house, and he begins an investigation of the building's history. And there's something, something going on in that tiny dusty cob web strewn room at the very top of the house, the one with a music box and a small wheelchair.George C. Scott is a solid presence in this film as the man bewildered by this huge old home, with Scott's wife, the elegant Trish Van Devere, cast as a member of the local historical society instrumental in having secured him this house. Melvyn Douglas appears as a U.S. senator who is somehow related to the house.Director Peter Medak lets the suspense build slowly in this intelligent Canadian made ghost story. Rather than going for terror, this film goes for subtle chills. There's a seance scene that is genuinely eerie, as Medak's camera returns to that small room and then starts to glide down the stairs towards the seance participants trying to communicate with the spirit.Some ghost films are all special effects and over-the-top performances of terror. Like the best of the classy, more mature films that explore the supernatural, The Changeling never goes for cheap thrills. This thriller's eeriness is analogous to a tap on the shoulder by a cold finger, only to turn around and find there is nobody there.It may be a cliché to say it, but, in this case, it's true: if you watch this film, be sure to do so with the lights turned low.

Haunted mansions persist as mainstays of ghost stories to this day, as they should. They exude shadowy atmosphere and hold such promise of fright--only, however, when handled with subtlety. The Changeling, unfortunately, delivers an in-your-face presentation of a haunted house.The mansion works visually, but Director Medak doesn't tease the audience. For example, Scott composes at the grand piano and discovers a broken key. He subsequently leaves the the room, and the camera slowly zooms in on the keyboard where the "broken" key suddenly plays unassisted by a living hand (as so predicted by the lens's focus). Had the camera panned away from the piano, and just before the change of scene there floated the faintest possibility of that key mysteriously delivering a note, the viewer would have wondered: "Did I just hear that or not?" That ambiguity would have instilled a sense of disquiet, exactly what a well-made horror film should do.Other missed fright opportunities abound. A wheelchair careens after Van Devere, ostensibly to drive home the proof of a spirit. Really? Wheelchairs have built-in negative connotations, but their ability to accelerate frantically hardly qualifies as one of them. Why couldn't the chair simply have moved a few feet from its last observed location, or perhaps have changed directional orientation toward the music box or such? At another time, the last fond memory of Scott's deceased daughter, a rubber ball (A rubber ball? Most young girls have favorite dolls or stuffed animals, don't they?), bounces down the staircase of its own accord. Scott takes this treasured memento, drives to bridge, and throws it into the river, tired of the damn thing bouncing around the house and obviously disregarding its sentimental value. Low and behold, the screwy ball comes bouncing down again. Scary? No. A clumsy attempt at scariness? Yes.The list of squandered opportunities goes on and on, but the loss falls short of totality. The genuinely haunting voice of disembodied Joseph remains as the one truly eerie element of this film. The rest of The Changeling simply fails to deliver.

I love this movie a ton, it's an all time favourite of mine, and for me is easily the best ghost horror movie that's ever been done, it's just of a pure great quality that can't ever be done the same way these days, at least never so incredibly well, not even close. It's approach to the supernatural horror aspect of its story is very restrained and traditional, relying more on slowly building up the story and characters to keep one engaged, and it uses its few genuine jump scare moments wisely and at just the exact right moments that they all feel earned. It's a very subtle kind of horror, one that carefully tantalises the imagination rather than bludgeoning it. And as is often the case, it's the horror that you don't see that proves the most effective. The powerfully emotive music, immersive atmosphere and magnificent lighting and cinematography are all excellent, and I can just get absorbed in the compelling mystery and rich dark ambiance and oppressive mood that the film was going for. This movie truly proves better than most in its genre that having nonstop action and flashy special monster effects doesn't necessarily always have everything to do with a scary picture turning out great. All of the elements of this conservatively constructed film that takes the time to build up its suspense and so carefully plays its hand are in perfect balance, and I don't think anything feels really out of place with it and it all just comes together to make something that's such a brilliant classic. The setting is so spot-on and fantastic, it actually looks like a place that would be haunted. I was so surprised when I found out that it wasn't a real location! Absolutely phenomenal production design, it looked and felt completely real. There are many moments and scenes woven into it that are so very haunting and downright chilling, the mesmerising seance sequence where the medium goes into a trance and begins auto-writing just cranks up the tension so well until you see that glass fly across the room, the dusty old wheelchair attack which should probably feel vaguely silly but really doesn't, the little girl's recurring nightmare of the dead boy staring up at her who lurks underneath her floorboards, and the spine-chilling baseball that comes tumbling down the stairs is a sight that always makes my flesh creep. And that's something that I love about this movie as well, that even though it's scary it's not a story of monsters or demons, and the ghost isn't an evil one, it's the tormented spirit of a long dead little boy who was cruelly murdered by his own father out of pure greed and who's full tragedy is slowly revealed as the film goes on. And the ending doesn't remotely feel like a positive one, as even though the ghost of Joseph can finally rest in peace with the truth revealed and justice served, the scene feels cold and very saddening as the music box plays it''s mournful tune one last time. And it frightfully feels true to me that peace after death isn't some golden glow of heaven but something altogether different and as distant and forlorn as a scene of burned ashes, with the only thing to signify the event being music that no one would ever hear... I was surprised to read complaints but I love the way that the late great George C. Scott's character shows his fear at the events around him, and that he doesn't freak out and react in a typical horror movie way. He is very stoic but if you watched it right you'd know that the character is supposed to have already gone through a lot in a short amount of time and that he's open to the supernatural. He's shaken, but you see how he's determined to fight through his fear and find the answers to the grim mystery no matter what and maybe bring himself a little peace by the bitter end. He was brilliant, he brought solid sensibility to his every scene and made the whole movie seem more grounded and real. What a great film, it will make you fearful of venturing up the darkened stairs of your own home late at night alone... Thank you very much, take care, and farewell.

I will advice you to see this film in the complete darkness and with a good sound home theater, it deserves a good big screen, and a great sound. This movie is based on the sound and what you cannot see. It delivers the kind of scare that continues with you when you have to go the kitchen in the darkness and you feel forced to turn on the lights of the hall to get to the kitchen. It is scary, but in a smooth way and it builds more and more until you feel really scared. I invite you to see this movie but with a good sound, because without it, it lost the 70% of its Art, yes this movie is art. We need this kind of artists working on the current horror movies.
