GhastlyGary – 8/10
“I went in expecting a typical haunted house flick, but this one really got under my skin. The séance scene had me holding my breath, and the atmosphere was so thick you could cut it. It's a slow burn, but the payoff is chilling.”
ScreamingQueen79 – 7/10
“For me, the best part was George C. Scott's performance—he made the grief feel real, which made the supernatural elements even more impactful. The plot had some twists I didn't see coming, but the pacing dragged a bit in the middle. Still, a solid 70s horror gem.”
HorrorHound84 – 6/10
“I can appreciate the classic status, but I wasn't fully scared. The story is intriguing, but the scares are more psychological than jumpy, and some scenes felt a little dated. If you love old-school ghost stories, you'll enjoy it; I was hoping for a bit more.”
EerieElise – 9/10
“This movie broke my heart and terrified me at the same time. The way the boy's presence was portrayed felt so tragic and real. The ball bouncing down the stairs still gives me chills. A must-watch for fans of subtle, atmospheric horror.”
