Carnival of Souls (1962)


Originally Written
Wednesday, May 2, 2007

When it comes to B-movie horror films it's best to have something either quite bad, to the point it's humorous, or a film that's actually quite entertaining. But so often is the case that the result lingers somewhere in between, therefore being just plain boring and quite a pain to stomach. Carnival of Souls is about a group of girls whose car drives off a bridge while racing against a couple of guys. Amazingly one of the girls survives but her life seems to be completely changed, as she becomes totally anti-social and is haunted by hallucinations of a strange looking man. A man who wants to bring her to an old abandoned carnival, a Carnival of Souls!

Carnival of Souls starts out rather interesting but quickly begins to drag on with the only suspense in the film being the ghostly guy who randomly pops up to some rather annoying organ music. The whole strange plot is a decent idea but it's something more fit for a 30 minute Twilight Zone episode, not a feature film stretched out to 90 minutes which tends to become old fast and predictable even faster.
