Pros: Understated yet horrifying fright fest Cons: Probably a bit too understated for some of today's horror fans
It was an evil house from the beginning -- a house that was born bad.
Typical horror movies and villains don’t frighten me in the least. But ghosts on the other hand send chills up my spine. I blame it on that now cancelled Wednesday...
Pros: Great directorial work, classic movie Cons: Loses a little over the years
The Haunting is a 1963 black and white horror flick, adapted from Shirley Jackson’s novel, “The Haunting of Hill House.” It’s directed by Robert Wise who is as well known for his musicals (West Side Story and The Sound of Music) ...
Pros: a ghost story that creeps up on you Cons: what about Shirley Jackson's lesbians?
With a moderate budget, and sandwiched between two upscale musicals from the 60s, West Side Story (1961) and The Sound of Music (1965) Robert Wise made this ghost story set in a haunted mansion in New England, and as a paradigm for the perfect ...
Pros: Eerie photography, delicious performance of Julie Harris, the film's ability to scare us silly! Cons: None
A gothic mansion, squirreled away from all semblance of humanity, becomes the magnet that attracts a group of four unsuspecting people, who get more than they bargained for over the course of a term to study the world of psychic phenomena. Add to this ...
Pros: Wonderfully nuanced performance by Julie Harris and beautifully spooky atmosphere Cons: There really is nothing wrong with this movie in my opinion.
The Haunting is Exhibit A on how much a horror movie can benefit from restraint. There is no blood and gore and we never actually see a ghost but The Haunting terrifies all the more with “things that go bump in the night.” When the film ...
Pros: A genuinely spooky movie with believable characters and an excellent story line. Cons: None that I can think of.
Despite the somewhat cheesy name, I was fairly excited to see the new-ish remake of the classic movie The Haunting last year. Having been immediately disappointed with it, I turned to the original, confident that I would see a better portrayal of...
Pros: smart, sophisticated, Freudian Cons: no big explosions, if you need that sort of thing
Haunted houses. Movies about this subject can be SO bad. I think it's usually due to a few factors: lack of imagination, lack of daring, and lack of subtlety. This movie is one of two classics from its era, the other being the slightly earlier...
Pros: Excellent movie for suspense, implied horror. Good plot with excellent introductory narrative. Cons: Too "tame" for some with lack of explicit gore. In black-and-white.
I was looking forward to seeing the remake of "The Haunting" last summer, but when I heard the abysmal word of mouth about the movie, I decided against it. I'm glad that I got to see the original version of "The Haunting" back...
Pros: Psychological Thriller Cons: Black and White Might Not Appeal to All
A classic supernatural film, it kept me in suspense every step of the way. I saw the movie appropriately on Halloween two years ago, and the film stands among the best of horror movies I have seen. Psychological terror enshrouds the visitors to the...
Pros: scary, intelligent script, sets, direction Cons: where's the beef?
One of the better haunted house films, "The Haunting" conveys horror without resorting to violence, gore, or even special effects. No ghosts ever appear onscreen, but we know they are out there, howling, laughing and banging, in the hallway...
Pros: One of the best examples of what can be achieved with minimal visual "tricks"... Cons: Few or none-- except that they just "remade" it in 1999...
It's almost a cliche to point out that, in a scary movie, less is sometimes more. But today, almost all action or horror films are SO literal and SO grisly that any real psychological effect is lost.. ('The Others' being a recent, excellent exception...
Pros: Superb Writing, good acting, Cons: Let me know if you find some!
The year once again ripens towards Fall and that most glorious of Holiday's "Halloween". It's time to pull out the best of Movie Horror to set the Halloween mood. Number One with a bullet in my book is the Haunting.
I had vivid, nightmarish childhood memories of "The Haunting" on
TV. The 1999 CGI-fx crammed remake of this 1963 ghost tale (and
disappointment over the "Blair Witch" sequel) prompted me to
screen the original again, to...
