There's a good story here, with compelling characters, story arcs, and themes. The supernatural elements were done fantastically, as is the tragic elements of the series. But the slow burning story and ending deserved a tighter edit, that, honestly needed no more than three to four episodes. Is it good? Yes! But it would have been much better as a three or four night event mini series. Some stories only need just a few episodes, and this is one of them. Still, if you like mysterious supernatural films or shows, you will enjoy this one. One more thing, the mystery behind his wife's death was played out way too long. Not going to spoil it, but once you find out what happened, you are like, "why'd this take so long to get to?" Also, the terrible character of Crystal's self absorbed and angry character's daughter was written annoyingly bad. She was written in a way solely to move the story forward, instead of being an organic and believable character that you can identify with or be empathetic toward.

It's rare when one can combine Beautiful and Horror, without coming off as ironic. But, it's true. Lady in White is one of my favorite horror films of all time, much less the 80's. It was like Peter Straub's Ghost Story and Harper Lee's To Kill A Mocking Bird had come together and gave birth to this little gem. Lady in White is at its heart a wonderful coming of age ghost story, about a square peg. It felt like director Frank La Logia wrote this film just for nerds like me, because we quickly identify with Lukas Haus' protagonist, and are drawn in and feeling his peril to our core. Many of my personal favorite horror films involve kids at the center, because most of us remember feeling overwhelmed by the world as kids, and quickly identify with children in peril. There are a handful of kids in peril films on my top list of films, Cat O' Nine Tails, ET, The Goonies and #1 is Lady In White.
