The Changeling Ratings & Reviews
- Sarah JMarch 9, 2025Joseph is maaaddd.
- makdelartDecember 10, 2025A masterful classic that looks like it was made in the early 1970s. Good old-fashioned horror: great directing and acting, excellent cinematography, music performed by a real orchestra with a choir, and no CGI! This film is still impressive.
- George BananzaNovember 17, 2025The diaper changeling. This film stinks.
- DerekOctober 29, 2025Wow! I can't believe I missed this one when I was a kid. I remember seeing it in the horror section at my local video store and never renting it. It has such a beautifully designed and memorable poster. It's a great paranormal mystery. I highly recommend because I really enjoyed it forty plus years later. And that intro!
- Donns MinyardJuly 21, 2025Fantastic movie!! One of my favorites of all time. The acting is superb.
- Biohazardous.June 10, 2025A couple of spooks and an interesting mystery with a reveal I wasn't expecting. My favorite thing about film was the atmosphere of the house.
- 4mtxwMay 15, 2025This movie was spin blowing but remember that another popular horror movie came out the same year the shinning so it kinda had some competition no shoot but the shinning was perfect way better
