About This Movie

Pelikanen is an intriguing blend of drama and supernatural elements, crafted as a TV movie in 1982. It's this unsettling atmosphere that really pulls you in—the eeriness of an empty house post-funeral, where every creak and shadow seems to carry the weight of unspoken words. The pacing is deliberate, allowing moments of tension to build; the rocking chair and the slamming doors aren’t just stunts but echoes of grief and unresolved emotions. The performances are solid, giving depth to the characters who navigate this haunting. The letter discovery adds a layer of mystery, pushing themes of memory and loss. It's a unique snapshot of a family's struggle with the spectral remnants of their past, making it distinctive in the realm of made-for-TV films.
