a trip down memory lane..

i forgot how much i loved this movie when i was younger! i'm so glad it was available on dvd! October 8, 2008

Not Scary. At All. Not That Appealing, Either.

While the official Amazon.com reviewer for this film got it right when saying that this was an obvious labor of love for the filmmaker, that's unfortunately all this movie really has going for it. Love for the material is apparent throughout the entire picture, and it does give the film some charm . . . . . sometimes.

But those moments of charm are too few and far between, and no matter how much I actually feel kind of bad saying so, the movie falls flat on almost every level. First and most important of all: it's just not scary. At all. I mean, not even comparing it to other ghost movies and taking it on its own terms, there is not even the slightest bit of spooky atmosphere to be found. The DVD is covered with all these positive reviews about how "haunting" the movie is, but what LADY IN WHITE really is is a ghost movie for children. And I don't mean that in a derogatory way, I simply mean that as entertainment for adults or even older kids, the movie really fails. It really is structured, acted, and all-around made like a film for little kids. Maybe it was, and if so, it did a good job. But don't believe all the reviews on the DVD, for instance.

Good Stuff

I was happy to find this movie on Amazon. I loved it as a kid, and wanted my kids to watch it. When they did, they liked it too. It is a haunting story with a pleasant ending. It is not very violent. April 12, 2008

OK, this was a tough film to watch...

This film is about a boy who, after being locked into the school house, witnesses a ghost being murdered. After that he is attacked and almost killed. Racism and the feel of the period, with the cars and form of dress, gave the movie a real feel of reality. Things become weird and, yes, a tad scary. A audio commentary by the director plus behind the scene footage and deleted scenes add to the extras and make the DVD worth buying and adding to one's collection.
Not for young kids. January 17, 2008
