As I wrote on the DVD thread, I watched the VHS and didn't find it all that satisfying. I'd be willing to give it a second shot. I thought the sequence involving a medium worked the best of all the...

Agreed, Helrunar. It's no masterpiece, but for there not being any good release of it recently to drum up interest in it, I enjoyed being able to see a very 70s ghost story with decent mood and IMO a...

I think it's strength lies in it's differentiation from other ghost story films. It's very melancholy, very down-beat and moody. I don't think you'd see a story like this handled this way today....

Thanks for your thoughts, pulp novelties. I'd definitely be interested in giving the movie another look if a proper print of it EVER becomes available. I thought it had a lot going for it. I actually...

For those who liked HAUNTING OF JULIA, another film to consider trying is Robert Altman's IMAGES, it's a bit more aggressively weird, and not a horror-film per se, but is nonetheless a beautiful and...

I agree on IMAGES. I think it's pretty terrific, and I do consider it a horror film. Its sometimes-too-obvious inspiration is REPULSION.

Finally caught this on repeat. I liked alot about it, including the Goblin-esq synth part of the score, lush 70's horror photography, and some of the deaths (the death in the basement is particularly...

I have seen this film, and yes, its disturbing, but Farrow is an odd character, much like Rosemary Woodhouse, lots of 'psychologival' drama, and 'evil children ghotsts are always, sometimes more...

Haven't watched it in many many years but I vividly recall the opening and closing scenes (hence the alternate title Full Circle) and that it was creepy and effective in between. Need to see it again...
