THE BOOK OF STONE (1969):
This seemingly well-regarded Mexican spookshow is probably the textbook definition of what kids today call "mid". It falls roughly between THE INNOCENTS and THE OTHER and traffics in the same "creepy children under the influence of evil from beyond" business, but it's nowhere near as good as either. Then again, maybe you're just really in the mood for a passable alternative to those horror classics. (I guess I was...)
There is a concerned new governess, a pair of confused parents, an easygoing family friend who isn't taking circumstances nearly serious enough (good luck with that, buddy!), a doomed family pet...
...y'know, all the usual ingredients of such flicks. And there's the central child, who insists that she has a close friendship with an unseen and presumably imaginary little boy named "Hugo", which happens to be the name of the little statue on the family's property. Surely Hugo doesn't really come to life and cause mischief, right? 
Most of BOOK OF STONE is shot indifferently and paced for extremely mild chills rather than thrills. There is one nicely understated, quite effective, yet slow pan around the little girl's room 2/3rds of the way through. The film ends just about exactly how such films always tend to end. Finally I'll add that I often wanted to smack this little girl around and tell her to snap out of it, like the little boy in THE OTHER, but I never felt as much sympathy for her as for the OTHER brother nor as much as for the kids in THE INNOCENTS. She just kinda' sucks.
2.5/5 Meh!

Thank you Claws ❤️🌹🌹
She was a very special person indeed. Tough, uncompromising, kind, beautiful, very funny, special and someone who would have your back especially if she felt you were being threatened.
I have spent the last two days remembering and reminiscing with people about her. Everyone who knew her - and it's a lot of people - is hurting.
She was my friend, my mentor, my champion and my big sister.
❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹💔💔💔🥀
