A bitter sweet movie that is hauntingly appealing
Added 8/12/2009
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
Added 7/17/2009
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.

Classic tale of the supernatural
Added 7/12/2009
"The Lady in White" ranks as one of my all-time favorite ghost stories and I've watched it numerous times over the years. It begins with a flashback to the past where a young boy Frankie [Lukas Haas] gets locked in his classroom closet at school on Halloween Night in 1962. The night has life-altering consequences for young Frankie. He witnesses the ghostly recreation of Melissa, a little girl's murder [Joelle Jacobi] whose spirit continues to haunt the place. The killer who is back looking for evidence inadvertently left behind, strangles Frankie, but he lives. He does have a chilling experience where Melissa's troubled spirit beseeches him to help look for her mother. Young Frankie learns to his consternation that Melissa is but one in a string of children that have been molested and murdered over the past 10 years. As Frankie unearths more troubling truths, he finds a link between Melissa and the ghostly lady in white, and scrambles to uncover the truth before he himself becomes the killer's next victim.
Those who love a good old-fashioned ghost story with plenty of thrills must watch this movie. It doesn't disappoint. Some of my other favorites in the genre are "The Changeling", "The Legacy", "The Haunting", "Ghost Story","The Sentinel", "Burnt Offerings", "Audrey Rose" etc.

GOOD MOVIE, NOT GREAT...
Added 7/7/2009
This is a pretty good movie, not a masterpiece like some seem to think. If I were using a 4 Star movie review system I'd give it 2 1/2 Stars. Hopefully without saying enough to be a Spoiler, there's a scene near the end where two lights shoot off into the air, that really should have been three lights.
