The old flick didn’t age well. I want my two hours back
One of my all time favorite scary movies from when I was a child. The sounds build tension and anticipation around every corner. None of the stupid over the top special effects of the movies of today.
All I demand of my ghost houses is a bit of the spooky ooky, and GCS hold's his war time solid face. They don't make them anymore (they literally don't choose actors over 50yo in Hollywood, except "Once Upon A Time in Hollywood". Aging has reduced the spooky ooks a bit, and the long investment in seeing the hidden house mystery. That said, it's holding a big crescendo, and a rare satisfaction. Angelina Jolie's 'The Changeling' borrows only a few dings of this great, nearly none of the end.
Maybe it didn't age well or something but this was boring,unless loud pipes and a bouncing ball scares you.
It’s a classic for a reason, ignore all the zero attention span reviewers saying nothing happens. It’s barely even a slow burn, it’s well paced and directed fantastically. Check it out if you haven’t already
