Peter Medak&rsquo;s <em>The Changeling</em>, made in Canada in 1980, belongs in that company and is too often left off the list, which is a minor injustice, because it contains the single most frightening séance ever committed to film and a lead performance of shattering restraint from an actor most people associate with generals and bluster. It is the ghost story for grown-ups, and it works by whispering.</p>Sat, 01 Jun 2024 08:00:00 +0000
