Personally, it feels as if made from a child's point of view - it has the nightmarish view of a world of useless adults and amazing matriarchs, and the sequence of Shelley Winters drowned in the car is so surreal and unexpected. Tonally, it's totally uneven, veering from broad comedy to real horror - and then to a It's A Wonderful Life-style American dream stuff - I love it! :-) I wonder what you'll make of The Haunting - it's wonderfully atmospheric!
