Carnival of souls was truly captivating film on it's eeriness and atmosphere. The story was well-written and inspiring and the director had many interesting ideas in filming. Director was like an orchestra leader who toyed with the viewer. The film had its own unique style of mixing horror, thriller and mystery into one woven fabric. Protagonist was superb in her role and there were a very interesting characters in this film. A truly terrific film indeed.
