neutral · AI labelView post →Movie recommendation for tonight, The Changeling I recommended a particularly mean and nasty movie last night, so tonight I'm suggesting something relatively bloodless, but it's one of the best haunted house movies I've ever seen, it's brooding and the central mystery is deeply compelling.
positive · AI labelView post →An unexpected and quite unsettling moment of horror from science fantasy film KRULL (1983), when heroic Prince Colwyn almost gets blindsided by a Changeling. That scream haunted me as a kid.

neutral · AI labelView post →SINISTER was inspired by a nightmare I had after watching THE RING. I dreamt that I went into my attic, found a box of films and a projector, spun one up and it was the opening shot of the film - a family being simultaneously hung from a tree. In terms of writing, THE CHANGELING was a big influence.

neutral · AI labelView post →My first big movie was CHANGELING, directed by Clint Eastwood starring Angelina Jolie. I wrote that story to commemorate one woman's war against a corrupt system. THE GLASS BOX further examines and interrogates some of the themes seen in CHANGELING, taken to a new level of intensity and relevance.

neutral · AI labelView post →THE CHANGELING (1980) An atmospheric movie about a New York composer who restarts his life in Seattle after an awful tragedy. The story takes grief and sadness seriously and the mood is one of slowly growing, oppressive fear. A wonderfully grown up horror movie. An all-time gem.

neutral · AI labelView post →THE CHANGELING is an elegant and confident film. The fact that there's a male-female pairing without any romance feels sort of revolutionary for 1980. The only thing I'd ask for is slightly more vulnerability from the protag.

It’s not The Changeling
