Carnival of Souls (1998)

An American horror directed by Adam Grossman.
A girl witnessed the murder of her mother and as an adult, has flashbacks and hallucinations about her traumatic past.
Yet another B horror from Wes Craven's filmography list with minimal involvement on his part. Here he is credited as executive producer and has his name in the title (omitted here). This is supposedly a remake of the 1962 film of the same name. The '62 version featured hippy subculture references and some decent organ music. I guess we can count the video effects, costumes and sets in this one as equal to that. Otherwise, the 2 versions are more similar than anyone would expect. Both are B films and neither one is worth watching. There was some usage of slow motion and a few good camera shots, but otherwise this was worthless. I'm rating it poor just like I did for it's previous incarnation.

Carnival of Souls (1962)


A horror directed by Herk Harvey.
A girl who is the only survivor of a car accident moves to a new town to take a job playing organ at the church. The girl is afraid of a man who is following her, but that no one else can see. When she is in a department store, something changes and it seems like she doesn't exist.
This film seems like an extra-long episode of The Twilight Zone. I guess it's just the horror style from that time period. It's too new to really be creepy, but too old to be funny. It's barely even interesting, so I'm rating it poor.
