An impressive labor of love from independent writer-director Frank LaLoggia, this low-budget supernatural thriller was a sleeper hit in 1988, deservedly praised by critics and horror fans for its effective combination of ghostly terror and small-town charm. The influence of Steven Spielberg can be felt in the movie's imaginative scenario, but it's also got the affectionate appeal of autobiographical nostalgia, mixing details of LaLoggia's own youth in upstate New York with a frightening tale of Halloween horror. It begins when young Frankie (Lukas Haas) is locked in a grade-school cloakroom on Halloween night of 1962; he witnesses the ghostly image of a little girl and is nearly strangled to death by an unknown assailant. From that point forward, Frankie is convinced that the ghost is somehow connected to the Lady in White, a haunting vision of local legend. A black janitor is tried as Frankie's attacker and suspected in a series of unsolved murders, but recurring apparitions lead Frankie to the truth of the case--a revelation of real-life violence and supernatural wonders. This plot may be a bit too cluttered for a conventional ghost story, but the movie's ambition works in its favor by providing an emotional subtext for its youthful sense of wonder. There's an abundance of charm and humor, but this also a moving story of grief and loss, tracing young Frankie's adjustment to the death of his mother. This gives Lady in White more depth than is typical for horror thrillers, and the movie further benefits from the obvious care and compassion that LaLoggia brought to its creation. --Jeff Shannon

 Lady in White February 7, 2010
Adan Chavira
This movie is great I'd recommended it to people who like a good ghost story. Very intertaining and also wholesome.
Good January 18, 2010
Alicia Burke (France)
Saw this when I was a kid and really enjoyed. Now of course not so scary of a movie, but still good to watch.

Very happy with my purchase and how fast I received it! Classic Halloween movie in my house hold! Thank you so much!
A bitter sweet movie that is hauntingly appealing August 12, 2009
Harmonybee (United States)
This movie always makes me tear up. When I was younger I saw some scenes in the movie that left me choked up. A black man in the movie was accused of harming the main protagonist and other children.
This movie exposed me as a young child to reality such as racism and cruelty however the ending left me more optimistic and full of hope.
This movie isn't very graphic in it's depiction of violence but the theme is there.
The movie if anything will teach your children of the grim realities of life however it's not so grim and depressing to the point of haunting your psyche after the credits roll.
I think the Lady in White is more of a mystery than a horror movie per se.
A Classic That Brings Back Memories July 17, 2009
Review Guy (PA, USA)
Lady in White is a great movie that brings back memories for me. For years I've had images in my head of a scary movie I saw when I was little with a lady, cliff, and a cloak room. My parents never allowed me to watch the really violent scary parts and I was too young to remember the name of the film. Finally after all these years I found the name of the movie and have watched it in its entirety and it still gives me goosebumps when I watch it. There is something about old women, white powdery skin, and fire that just scares the hell out of you. This is a must see for those who grew up in the 80s.
