Between Two Worlds
24 May 2009
Warning: Spoilers
While driving her car with two girlfriends, the driver is challenge to a drag race and falls off a bridge over a river. When it seems that the girls have drowned and there are no survivors, Mary Henry (Candace Hilligoss) surprisingly leaves the water. A couple of days later, she drives to another town to work as organist in a church despite not being religious. While driving, she has visions of a weird man. When she arrives at her destiny, she moves to a room in the boarding house owned by Mrs. Thomas (Frances Feist). However Mary is haunted by spirits and is frequently drawn to a nearby abandoned carnival, where she discloses a dark secret.

"Carnival of Souls" is a sort of episode of "Twilight Zone", with an intriguing tale of a woman that survives to a tragic accident and is haunted by souls, trapped between the world of the living and the dead. The use of shadows and the make-up are really scary and the creepy story works well but could be a little shorter; furthermore the conclusion is predictable. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): Not Available
