Haven't seen it in a while, but certainly still holds a place amongst the best and scariest ghost movies out there.

Re: Horror Film Club (September 13th) - The Changeling
Here's a film I never understood the love for. I picked The Changeling up on dvd about 5 years ago following recommendations on this site and simply couldn't understand the acclaim - snails pace, generally uninteresting plotline, no sustained atmosphere and very few "creepy" aspects. On the bright side, it also didn't resort to "cheap" boo scares so much and it had George C. Scott.
A disappointment. Alas, I'm in the minority on this one.
