Movie Reviews of The Haunting

Movie Review: A Haunting Thriller
Summary: 5 Stars

The "Haunting" (1999) was a thrilling masterpiece. It combined editing pace, lighting, incredible sound & cinematography to create a thrilling suspense film. The viewer can not help being drawn into the story of Nell, played by Taylor. While the script is weak in places, the directors make up for it with computer-generated effects and incredible sound effects that leave the viewer wondering what's around the next corner. The setting (the castle) provides an excellent adventure for all. As a kid, I used to wander through abandoned houses at night and get spooked. This brings the fantasy of wandering through an old castle to life. In my opinion, this is a MUST HAVE for any video/DVD library.

Movie Review: Thrills, Chills, and awesome special effects.
Summary: 5 Stars

I recently purchased and watched The Haunting on DVD. It was the type of movie which keeps you in suspense, not in horror.

Shirley Jackson's original Novel THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE, is brought to life in this rollercoaster of suspense. I was amazed at how hard The Haunting strived, and suceeded to follow the original novel, one of my favorite books. The storyline, which is already difficult to bring to the screen, was done so, with the upmost elegance.

The Hauntings special effects were very well done, and thankfully not overblown. The director chose to drive the story based on characters, not based on effects, and that is what always makes a movie.

Movie Review: Best and Most Realistic Horror Film of the Year!
Summary: 5 Stars

The entire family had a wonderful evening wathing "The Haunting" tonight. The scarriest part about it is that it is so realistic. You feel like you know the people and that you are there in the house with them! One of the best parts is the Special "Behind the Scenes" portion on the DVD. We really enjoyed this part of "The Mummy" but this was even better. A movie in itself! A good movie for a cold winter night (the kids will certainly join you on the couch!)

Movie Review: This was a VERY SCARY MOVIE
Summary: 5 Stars

Public warning: this is not some teen slasher flick. A thoughtful scary movie? What a concept! This movie is not gory nor does it have peppy, popular teen stars. It is creepy and really makes you think. It has a good plot and a very weird ending. It is definetly a good remake...like the 60s version but with better special effects. Much more tastleful than "Scream" and with better FX than "Urban Legends", this is a must-see movie.
