Definitely, a beautiful movie! Superbly shot, with obvious plastic virtues, and a keen eye for epoch reconstruction and historical precision. A real feast for the sore eyes.The script itself, however, is quite linear, devoid of logic and imagination. One should remember that the genre of fantastic realism supposes certain rules that must be followed. Once we propose a fantastic premise - here, the "curious case of" a child born old and gradually regressing to youth and infancy - we must construct its relationship with the real world, rational and natural as we know it, in a coherent and credible form. This is how we achieve that "state of real" which makes the basis of any successful fantastic story.In this case, the state of real is sorely amiss.

It takes a film like this to remind us that horror films can be truly frightening without needing us to jump out of our seats every three seconds. “The Changeling” succeeds mostly by creating an overwhelming atmosphere of suspense and mystery. Sure, there are a few quick seat-jumpers in the mix, but director Peter Medak focuses mostly on creating a solid plot aided by artful cinematography and a terrific musical score.
