Film Information
The Changeling is a 1979 Canadian psychological horror film directed by Peter Medak and distributed by Associated Film Distributors. It centers on the composer John Russell (George C. Scott), who had lost his wife and daughter to a tragic traffic accident during a trip in winter vacation. Distraught with grief, Russell leaves his home in New York City for a large, old and eerie Victorian-era mansion near Seattle and begins piecing his life back together. Not long after, John soon discovers that he has unexpected and unwelcome company in his new home, in the form of an unhappy ghost of a murdered young boy who was drowned in a bathtub, who starts making its presence known by various phenomena such as shattering windows, abruptly opening and shutting doors, and manifesting itself dramatically during a seance. Russell seeks the assistance of Claire Norman (Trish Van Devere), who led him to the house initially, in uncovering the secrets of the boy's death, and how he is linked to a powerful local family, the heir of which is a wealthy United States senator, Joseph Carmichael.
