Plot.
Peter Medak's The Changeling is among a handful of films, including The Haunting
(1963), Ghost Story (1981), and Lady in White (198 , that have successfully
recreated the intimate, drawing-room atmosphere of supernatural horror fiction.
After his wife and daughter are killed in a snowbound car accident, classical
composer John Russell (George C. Scott) relocates from New York to Seattle to teach
at his alma mater. Looking for a quiet place to rest and continue writing music, he
is referred Claire Norman (Trish Van Devere) at the Seattle Historical Preservation
Society. Claire shows John a large, sparsely furnished estate in the outlying
countryside. He takes the house, appreciating its remoteness and the solitude it
might afford, and diverts himself by renovating and settling in. He even starts to
compose, putting aside his older work in favor of a new, sentimental piece for the
piano. It is not long, however, before he begins having nightmares about the
accident that killed his wife and daughter. Possibly because of this trauma, he is
open to communications from the house's ghostly occupants. Pursuing a loud,
repetitive pounding noise in an upper room, he stumbles on the apparition of a young
boy drowning in a tub. Working together with Claire, John discovers frightening
parallels between this vision and buried events from the house's past. Horror writer
M.R. James once said that his goal as a writer was to make the reader feel
pleasantly uncomfortable." Those looking for a similar experience in movies will
appreciate The Changeling as a gem in the horror genre.
