The Changeling

3 Thoughts After Watching ‘The Changeling’: 1. That, in my opinion, was NOT an easy story to follow. I get the basics, but the nitty gritty details were poorly executed. I hate when that happens. Make it make all the sense, please. 2. Maybe this film set a precedent/foundation for future “let’s solve the mystery of why I’m being haunted” films. Maybe not. But as a story on its own, it falls flat. Plot points felt random, without purpose, and wholly disconnected _(especially that ending)_. There was no big revelation. Everything kinda felt a bit pointless as the credits rolled. 3. When the first sign of a ghostly presence popped up — a single piano key played on its own — it became abundantly clear that I was in for an unimaginative haunted house journey. The haunts were indeed basic and not even a little spooky. With such a quality setting, and score, there was certainly potential for so much more.

Boring. Boring. Boring. Boring. Boring.
