Haunting - not a film but an experience.

Rating: 9/10 (4 November 2001)

This is truly great. The horror relies on suspense rather than the stalk and slash material that has invaded the screens for the last twenty or so years. The film develops slowly and is much the better for that.

I found that I appreciated this more by reflecting upon it afterwards. It was not simply a movie but an experience. Our experience of the events remains with the characters and develops with them to the ultimate revelation. I felt that the film had a claustraphobic feel to it and I did not like this at first but if anyone feels this I would urge them to stick with it because it is vital to the outcome.
Also one of Nicole Kidmans best performances.
