More of a murder mystery than a ghost story. I thought it was solid, though some of the performances felt overwrought.

One of Scott's best performances and one of the downright spookiest flicks ever made.

Movies excellent. "You God damn son of a bitch! What do you want from me? I've done everything I can do."

Atmosphere is the essence of horror, and Peter Medak's film establishes a creepy, intimate feel throughout. Medak's use of space and editing establish a feel that is both claustrophobic and spacious (when the mood calls for one or the other). George C. Scott gives one of the better horror movie performances as the central figure in a film that utilizes its setting to a psychological effect better than most.

**1/2. 1st level : the ghost of a murdered child wants its revenge. 2nd level : the eternal battle between the genuine artist (the director) and the wealthy powers (the producer). 3rd level : a study about plumbing in the early XXth century mansions. 4th level : George C. Scott pays his taxes. 5th level : Martin Scorsese is a very squeamish guy at heart.
