Copiado à exaustão nas duas últimas décadas, encontra-se datado, mas a ótima atuação de Scott, o roteiro bem amarrado e a direção de Medak merecem aplausos.

Rises above convention with some fantastic acting and a careful layering of supernatural rumblings and clue-gathering that makes for a compelling two hours.

One of the very few films that truly, terribly horrifies. A classic.

A solidly made, genuinely creepy and effective ghost story of a type the movies rarely attempt and even more rarely get right.
