“The Changeling,” starring the brilliant George C. Scott, is a ghost story filmed in the 1980s, and the scariest one despite its age. Unlike many contemporary horror movies that rely on blood and gore, “The Changeling” uses more subtle ways, which work much better. The creators of this movie …

District 9 is a movie I bought after seeing it in theaters. I love science fiction-type films, and since this one contains aliens, it was right up my alley.
