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

I bet the film makers are glad this wasn’t shown at Cannes because if it had been it would have been booed and had tomatos thrown at the screen.
I was bored while watching this movie and couldent stop making jokes about the movie.The entire film feels akward with strange shots and stupid dialogue.
Why was Melvin Douglas or George C.Scott in this movie?I was going to rent this movie because my friend raved about it,boy was I glad I hadn’t it would have been a waste of money.

This is my first review here, but if you don’t write one, your rating doesn’t count…. I am going to keep ALL of my reviews SHORT.
Most people who read all of these reviews, only want to believe the positive ones, I can kind of imagine that. After all you want a GOOD movie. But you shouldn’t always believe them.
Please believe this very short and negative review and rating of ” The changeling”. It’s a very bad movie, it isn’t even remotely scary. Ghost-story? Don’t make me laugh….. I bought it, because of these positive reviews and I heavily regret it. I’m not going to fall for it again. Please DON’T buy this movie. Avoid it like the plague. Spend your money on a real Horror Movie! If you haven’t got or seen it yet, buy “The Blair Witch Project”. If you take this movie seriously, it WILL scare you. It scared me a bit and I’m a Hardcore Horror fan…..

The movie was boring and lame. It did not hold my interest at any point and the ending was confusing. George C Scott was okay….it wasn’t that great of a movie though. If you want to see a old good movie, get Dracula,I Saw what you did, House on haunted hill or The Haunting (1963).

I recently ordered The Changeling dvd from Amazon because of all of positive reviews it received. After reading other customer’s reviews, I thought that this would be a truly horrifying movie. Personally, I thought that the movie wasn’t scary at all. It was extremely boring. I was hoping that this would be an intelligent horror film that was truly scary, but I was proved wrong. The lead character spends the majority of the movie researching the family that once lived in the house.
Unless you are terrified by a child’s empty wheelchair (the wheelchair is the main “scare” in the movie), I would recommend skipping this movie. There are no scares, and the characters aren’t interesting. If you want a horror movie that is both intelligent and scary, I recommend “The Ugly”.

this one reminded me of countless other haunted house movies. I like to keep my reviews short and sweet so I’ll put it this way. If you’ve never seen a haunted house movie you might enjoy this, but if you have see polterguiest, or the haunting instead.
