Trivia
The Heimlich maneuver, or abdominal thrusts, a method of clearing an airway obstruction, was not widely known or taught at the time of this film. Dr. Heimlich first published papers on the technique in medical journals in 1974 and 1975. It wasn't until 1976 that the American Red Cross and the American Heart Association began to include it in their first aid classes and literature.

Goofs
Julia says she is going to see Mrs. Rudge in a mental hospital in Wales. As she drives in the front gate, the sign at the entrance says "Kensington and Chelsea and Westminster Health Authority", located in London, not Wales.

An acquired taste

I am a very big fan of slow moving, atmospheric horror movies. In fact, "Full Circle" aka "The Haunting of Julia" is probably the movie that got me into these kind of movies. However, the truth is that many people out there go into horror movies expecting thrill-a-second horror and blood and guts everywhere. This movie is not like that at all. It is built completely on atmosphere, character development, and a slow building plot that eventually leads to a shocking and unexpected conclusion. This is the reason i love this movie. I think that atmosphere contributes so much in unnerving us and sending chills down our spines and that is what horror is all about, isn't it? I love the music, the characters, and just about everything else. If you are into films such as "Don't Look Now" and "Let's Scare Jessica to Death" you should check this one out if you can find it.
