Richard Brunton surfaces from his time at Scotland's Dead by Dawn with a look at classic horror picture - and one of the web-monkey's favorite films ever - The Changeling.

You'll already have figured out I'm not as hardcore as some of the other crazy people that attended Dead by Dawn, I went home at midnight and grabbed a few hours sleep all ready for the early 4:50 start. One good thing is that I've managed to wash and change, I'm sure many others are envying me that choice right now.

This was the smallest audience to date for The Changeling, and yet despite that it was still a great atmosphere, and indeed there were probably more people here than many other mainstream screenings I've been to in the middle of the week.

Yes! Thanks for giving this gem the attention it deserves! One of the first DVDs I sought out when I bought my first player. It is now a pretty cheap purchase at many sites. Certainly a must have for those who dig the supernatural thriller genre.

I thought this was a review of the remake. Carry on.

One of my favorite horror films.

For those who don't know the R2 disc has directors commentary.
