The film starts with our main character (John Russell) who is with his wife and daughter on a snowy road. Their car breaks down and John leaves them to go call for assistance. Tragically, a truck and car collide on the road right near them, killing both the wife and young child. After their deaths, John moves out of their home and moves into a huge mansion. Right from the start, strange things begin to happen. Doors open on their own, loud banging noises start occurring at exactly 6:00AM, taps to the kitchen sink start pumping out water all on it's own, etc. The moment John realizes that something is seriously wrong is when he see's the image of a little boy drowning in his bathtub. John investigates further and discovers a chilling tale of murder.
'The Changeling' is a genuinely eerie ghost/haunting type of movie. You have to be invested in sticking with it though in order for it to be. When I first saw it years back, I got bored with it and thought it was highly overrated. However, on another day I took the time to really sit and give it my full attention. That was when I realized it was a good scary movie. It doesn't have the special effects or the gore that other horror films do, so you have to use your imagination at times.
Acting was well done by all, with George C. Scott leading the way. 'The Changeling' is a movie I'd recommend depending on a person's mood. If you're in the mood to sit and be really invested in a movie, than catch this. It can drag a bit which turns some people off to it. Give it a try and see for yourself.
7/10
