Product: The Haunting [VHS] (1999)
Rating: 1.0
One of the Worst Remakes of a Really Superb Story
I can't begin to describe how awful and stupid this movie was. I saw the original,I've read the book and I am truly angry that anyone would do this to a story. I'm shocked Liam would be in this masterpiece of stupidity, especially since this was supposed to be his last film. There were good actors, trying hard to salvage something. How can you salvage something from nothing? PLEASE don't waste anything, especially money on this version of Shirley Jackson's truly classic story. The book gives me creeps, especially if I read it alone at night. The original movie is still disturbingly real. Just what does walk at Hill House--well, whatever it is or isn't, I'm sure we both could agree on one thing. This movie can be summed up very much to the point--awfully stupid.They should be glad it isn't a crime to waste a movie.I gave it one star since there wasn't anything lower, say like, minus 1,000,000 stars, to choose from. Maybe the 'thing' from Hill House will get this movie and force the makers to watch it for eternity--insanity sure to ensue and poetic justice!
