The Changeling.avi

1980 George C. Scott, Trish Van Devere, Melvyn Douglas In 1980 the classical haunted house story seemed an ever-so-outmoded genre. At the time it was made The Changeling was a dinosaur, as surely any comparison with the other horror success of the same year, Friday the 13th (1980), would indicate. Even the audiences for either film were different � The Changeling appealed to an older audience, its cast were in the fortysomething age bracket, while Friday the 13th was cast with and pitched directly to the teen market who had no time for The Changeling�s more sedate psychological thrills. Certainly there were other similar haunted house films around at the time � The Amityville Horror (1979) whose success came from pretending to be based on truth rather than association with the genre and Stanley Kubrick�s The Shining (1980) which was a work that broke all the molds of the genre. Elsewhere the traditional haunted house film had gravitated to the province of the tv movie. But with minor exceptions, The Changeling was one of the last of a breed. (A similar kind of ghost story aimed at an older generation was tried the following year with Ghost Story (1981) which proved a colossal flop). Of course a couple of years later Poltergeist (1982) came along and smartly relocated the haunted house in suburbia and brought the genre into the modern effects and pop-up horror arena. Even though it does plumb an old genre, The Changeling does a fair job of it. Instead of a killing every five minutes, director Peter Medak takes his time developing atmosphere. At the outset his scares at most consist of a door closing of its own apparent accord and a ball bouncing down the stairs. One even begins to think it all might be too slow and sedate for its own good. But once Medak comes to the eerie seance, the atmosphere picks up considerably. Some shots like the appearance of the bathchair at the top of the stairs contain quite a shock... Review courtesy of: http://www.moria.co.nz/

I don't normally pay any attention to comments on torrents I have uploaded. However, anyone who may have searched for this movie as long as I did can be assured that some cheesy 1980's horror is waiting at the other end of this download. Enjoy. Except Amoul - you can fuck right off.

amen

loupedire (2008-11-17)

Gosh. I was really want to see this movie again. It's a good horror movie. Thx for uploading this movie AhDziz, if you have old horror movie, please upload more. I'm looking for "It" (A scary clown movie).

ljf130 (2008-11-17)

deceiving; bad download timing when WE WANT TO SEE The 2008 movie version

AhDziz (2008-11-18)

It's good to see that I can accommodate illiterates as well as assholes with my uploads. The description quite clearly indicates the year this movie was made, and WE WHO CAN READ are aware of the fact this is not the 2008 film by Clint Eastwood starring Angelina Jolie.
You should ask your mom to read you the description before you download your next torrent. Maybe she can help you with this one:

AhDziz (2008-11-19)

Loupdire, you can find Stephen King's "It" here:

loupedire (2008-11-19)

I'm looking for the older version, i saw that movie in Tv, a miniseries. But i'll try the 2002 version. Thanks AhDziz.

loupedire (2008-11-19)

Correction, 2002 was the DVD release date. ^_^; So, thanks again.

This is among the very best of the haunted house movies. It's part ghost story, part mystery. I highly recommend it. However, if you have ADD it may be a challenge to watch as it builds slowly and is very amospheric in nature. But in the end, it delivers the goods.

AhDziz (2008-11-23)

Again, for those who indiscriminately click "Download This Torrent" without first reading the description, I would suggest that you get someone to help you out with the big words. As for AMOUL, I would suggest a combination of Welbutrin and Lamotrigine HCL to stabilize that foul mood; you got some issues, kid.

Besides being blind and illiterate, amoul mispelled 'deceptive'.

crankyerma (2008-11-24)

Okay, well the joke is on me. I'm blind and illiterate as well because he actually misspelled 'deception'. I'll admit when I'm an idiot. I think some folks avoid having to do that by making it painfully clear for all to see.

Thanks for sharing, AhDziz! And I admire your patience with people more preoccupied with spamming torrents than reading. Just know that those of us who don't have the technology to rip anything are grateful!

Shinners (2010-04-22)

I second what monkeystuff said - thank AhDziz.

Alb3d07 (2014-11-08)

Aaaah! The 80's, they're over and they were great... maybe except 89 which was paving the way to the shitty 90's which were paving the way to the even shittier(who would have guessed) 2000's and so on... But the 80's for the music, the movies, the cultural wave, the vibes... WOW! "The changeling" is a testament to its era; a fantastic horror movie with great tension and very scary moments. George C. Scott is delivering a solid but subtle performance. Thanks a lot AhDziz!!!
