In ancient Egyptian mythology, a dead person's soul would be weighed against the feather of truth in a ritual called a psychostasy. If their soul was lighter than the feather, it would ascend into the afterlife. Heavy souls were devoured by Maat, eater of the dead. Good films go to hard drive heaven while the recycle bin eats the rest.

The Changeling (1980)
A horror directed by Peter Medak.
When a composer's wife and daughter die, he moves into an old house. He finds that the house is haunted by the spirit of a child who was killed there.
This is one of those boring horror films that is really slow moving. The style was good and the characters were identifiable. When the medium comes in to help the composer with his haunting problem, she just keeps asking the ghost question after question. She barely gives the poltergeist any time to respond and then she loops the questions again. I'm rating it o.k. because it was a little dull, but not bad.
