Herk Harvey’s Carnival of Souls is a stylish, low-budget Kansas mood piece featuring striking nightmare imagery, haunting atmosphere and foreboding dread. When Mary ends up the sole survivor of a car accident, she becomes terrorized by ghostly visions while being drawn to the deserted carnival on the outskirts of town.
“[Carnival of Souls] is one of the most original and unsettling horror movies to come out of America during its B-movie saturated, drive-in friendly period.” – Film4
