CRITICAL

How great a horror movie when board 3 pillars of parapsychology such as transcommunication, poltergueist and apparitions. I know no lover of these subjects who did not like the end of the ladder, for one simple reason, it is a kind of esoteric manual made ​​film.

We highlight the performance of George C. Scott (The Exorcist III, Anatomy of a Murder), which is impressive with an air of bohemian genius and abstracted.

Perhaps those who have seen it, immediately relate to a wheelchair or frightening old red ball straight down the immense palace, but the truth is that this film is striking not only for these frames, but in my humble opinion, the shift to the heart that gives the director to understand us suddenly with a delicate twist of script, the real story behind the mansion. Buying new house with violent past, warnings from the afterlife, unexplained noises are banners of any good classic horror movie and the end of the ladder gathers all and some other surprises.

It consists of many factors in its favor such as actors, photography, script, HISTORY.

Cons: Some shadow of micro, insignificant compared with the end result.

If you consider yourselves fans of the genre and habáis not seen this gem, it means you really have not seen shit, because this film is essential work for anyone who loves horror movies. At the end of the ladder becomes my recommendation eighties to this week.
