Informazioni su questo film

A young woman in a small Kansas town survives a drag race accident, then agrees to take a job as a church organist in Salt Lake City. En route, she becomes haunted by a bizarre apparition that compels her toward an abandoned lakeside pavilion. Made by industrial filmmakers on a modest budget, the eerily effective B-movie classic Carnival of Souls was intended to have “the look of a Bergman and the feel of a Cocteau”—and, with its strikingly used locations and spooky organ score, it succeeds. Herk Harvey’s macabre masterpiece gained a cult following on late-night television and continues to inspire filmmakers today.

Valutazioni e recensioni

No wonder you see certain horror movies you see today that creep you out so much. Carnival Of Souls did it, and it did it making it a classicly and historically. Carnival Of Souls is a very well executed movie about not knowing what's going on. Why. All that. There is the creepy soundtrack and great shots. And the performance by Candace Hilligoss is a classic one, one that is spot on. A classic creepy film that has a wonderfully creepy executed story.

I love this movie, the whole concept is amazing. Great acting, scary as hell
