An old-fashioned chiller that’s both elegant and really f’in scary, The Changeling is the epitome of a classy ghost story. Ten years before The Exorcist III, George C. Scott stars as John Russell, a composer who retreats into a dusty, run-down Victorian mansion in Seattle (really Vancouver) in order to mourn the sudden deaths of his wife and daughter. Of course the place turns out to be haunted, forcing John to confront death in the past as well as the present. Director Peter Medak’s chilly, slow burn style amps the tension up to almost unbearable levels, building to an ending that’s both terrifying and overwhelmingly sad. This one will follow you all the way home.
