| TheFrightFile.comDustin PutmanA deliciously layered, visually atmospheric, gravely underappreciated seasonal thriller aflame with the embers of a classic campfire yarn. |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeSurprisingly effective little ghost story. |
| Chicago TribuneDave KehrLaLoggia directs with creepy effectiveness. |
| USA TodayMike ClarkWriter/director Frank LaLoggia's chiller about the dark underbelly of an idyllic small town is so effectively heartfelt yet also creepy that it's surprising he couldn't parlay it into more assignments. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertLady in White tells a classic ghost story in such an everyday way that the ghost is almost believable, and the story is actually scarier than it might have been with a more gruesome approach. |
| Chicago ReaderJonathan RosenbaumAlthough the results are a bit overextended, the film is still something of a rarity nowadays: an evocative, poetic horror film without a trace of gore (and in this respect, closer to a Val Lewton film of the 40s like The Curse of the Cat People than any contemporary models). |
| The New York TimesCaryn JamesHere are the bones of an ordinary ghost story. But the writer and director Frank LaLoggia brings them to life with exceptional vitality. |
| IGNTodd GilchristFrank LaLoggia's 1988 film scared the living hell out of yours truly with its singular combination of hometown horrors and operatic tragedy. |
| Groucho ReviewsPeter CanaveseFar from perfect, but what it lacks in finesse, it makes up in shaggy-dog charm....the fun is in the journey. |
| Washington PostDesson ThomsonFor all its faults Lady in White is never dull. |
