...Cult horror....Carries an eerie chill...

The mesmerising power of the carnival and dance-hall sequences far outweighs the corniness of the awkward intimate scenes. Full Review

Rating: 5/5 -- If characters in a horror movie are watching an old black and white movie on TV late at night, and it's not Night Of The Living Dead, it's almost certainly Carnival Of Souls. Full Review

The workmanlike approach only serves to highlight its spectral qualities. It's like a kitchen sink version of 'The Shining.' Full Review

There is a nightmare quality to its best scenes, but the film is essentially a great half-hour Twilight Zone padded out to feature length. Full Review

...A genuinely creepy movie....In its own quietly lurid way, CARNIVAL OF SOULS is a sophisticated piece of character psychology...

Rating: 8/10 -- What is amazing about the film CARNIVAL OF SOULS is that the cheap budget works so much in its favor. There is little unreal to get between the actors and the viewer. Full Review

Product Description:

Made in 1962 on an extremely low budget, Herk Harvey's classic CARNIVAL OF SOULS has become legendary for its ability to create a tensely creepy atmosphere with virtually no special effects. A young woman (Candace Hilligoss) is involved in a car crash when her car falls off a bridge while drag racing with some friends. After she pulls herself from the river, she moves to a new town to take a job as a church organist. Meanwhile, a distinctly eerie and hollow-faced man seems to be following her wherever she goes, while an abandoned lakeside amusement park beckons her with an almost gravitational pull. The effective organ score enhances the film to great effect, as do the bleak landscapes of Utah's salt flats.
