Carnival Of Souls 2000 Horror Movie Review

Mary Henry (Candace Hilligoss) survives a drag race in a rural Kansas town, then takes a job as a church organist in Salt Lake City. En route, she becomes haunted by a bizarre apparition that compels her to an abandoned lakeside pavillion. Herk Harvey’s macabre masterpiece gained a cult following on late night television and has been bootlegged for years. Made by industrial filmmakers on a modest budget, “Carnival of Souls” was intended to have the “look of a Bergman” and “feel of a Cocteau,” and succeeds with its strikingly-used locations and spooky organ score.
