Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
When a recent widower (the wonderfully overemphatic George C. Scott ) moves into an antique Washington mansion, his realization that he may not be the only resident leads him toward a deadly secret that refuses to remain buried....The best haunted-house film since the legendary Haunting, this potent, classy combination of the mystery and horror genres eschews explicit gore and dumb shocks in exchange for a subtle creepiness that occasionally builds to a terrifying peak (watch out for that seance scene!). The result is a satisfyingly intelligent horror film with an intriguing dash of Watergate-era paranoia. Director Peter Medak went on to direct the considerably more gratuitous and somewhat less effective Romeo Is Bleeding and The Krays. --Andrew Wright

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The Chaneling - DVD
I have long been a fan of this movie. It's not a "blood and guts" horror flick but instead plays games with your head. It was great to find it on DVD!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - good and creepy
This is one of my favorite haunted house movies to date! Atmospheric, engaging, and creepy!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - One of the scariest movies of all time!!
This movie spooked me big time when I was a kid, and now it still gives me a creepy feeling! My mother said she didn't like this movie because of the creeps she got from it. Well, that shows that the writer and especially the director accomplished their goal, right? Let's face it--horror movies with gore and growling monsters and such just aren't scary--just corny. The creepy feeling you get while watching and after watching movies like this is what makes them scary.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - One of my favorites
This movie about a creepy, old mansion is a keeper. It is a real "ghost story," not a stupid slasher flick. There is an actual ghost, with an actual medium, and an actual seance. George C. Scott is also brilliant in this film. If you like a good old fashioned ghost story, this one's for you.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A classic Horror Film!
This is actually a personal favorite of mine!This film is very old but one of the greatest horror-films ever to hit the silver screen.The plot to the story is very well written and the movie is just plain scary!I must admit as a horror fan it's hard not to watch this movie alot,what can I say?it's that good.By the way there is actually a CD of the soundtrack to the film which is digitally remastered and it's quite good as well, but the availability of it is very limited!
