Haunting

Rating: Null/10 (22 November 2000)

I like this movie because of the atmosphere it creates. Kubrick
is a master in creating atmospheres (i.e. watch The Shining).
Beautiful cinematography, nice color contrasts, great lighting,
etc. Love the pot scene :) It is so funny and well acted. Kidman
is fantastic. Cruise is a bit on the unbelievable side, but OK.
(I never bought him as the doctor, less a father (and he is in
real life!). A young De Niro would have done something else
here, but I'm not complaining! Ok, I know the piano music does
get a little annoying sometimes, but it is very effective. And
what about the skinny nude beauties? Where can I get one of
those? WOW! Overall a flawed, but great movie. Watch it at night
with pot on your hand :) 8/10
