Lady in White (1988) is a movie that I watched for the first time in a long time on Tubi last week. The storyline follows a young man who gets locked in his school and is almost murdered one night by someone looking for something in the school. That night he also saw a ghost which must be tied to what his would be killer was looking for. The young man starts researching who the ghost is; and indirectly, who tried to kill him.
This movie is directed by Frank LaLoggia (Fear No Evil) and stars Lukas Haas (Inception), Len Cariou (Blue Bloods), Tom Bower (Out of the Furnace), Alex Rocco (The Godfather) and Jared Rushton (Big).
This is an entertaining addition to the horror genre that aged pretty well. I really enjoyed the ghost effects in this; and while the special effects are dated, they still worked for me. I loved the depiction of the 60s, down to the Bela Lugosi Halloween costume. The depiction of the town and town's people were perfect for this era also. The woman in the window was very creepy throughout the picture. There's also a target practice scene that made me uncomfortable and set up the ending perfectly. I really enjoyed the storyline and the ending; and while being fairly straightforward and a bit predictable, everything was fun to watch unfold.
Overall, this is a bit of an underrated gem from the 80s. I would score this a 7.5/10 and strongly recommend it.
