This is one of those rare films where the whole is greater than the sum of it's parts. The budget is low, the acting is suspect, the editing is choppy, and the makeup is downright cheesy - and yet Carnival of Souls is wonderfully creepy. A horror classic.

Good movie. This is pretty much what I imagine it's like to be a woman on any given day.
Old ! Yes! Not boring unless you miss the depth of what the plot is. The young woman is this film leads you through a search that tests the metal of your beliefs. Let yourself travel with her, but beware of the final moments.
