Product: The Haunting [VHS] (1999)
Rating: 5.0
One of My Favorite Horror Films!
I truly enjoyed this movie. I'd seen the original at least a decade ago, but I didn't remember it too well so while watching this newest version, I didn't find myself comparing it to the older and was able to enjoy it. The story was well written and easy to follow. The actors were enjoyable to watch, but I was most surprised to find Lily Taylor in the lead role. I'm so used to seeing her in independant films, I almost had a a pang of disappoint that she was in a mainstreams hollywood film. But she did do a great job!What I most enjoyed about the film was the breathtaking scenery. The sets were absolutly amazing! So much care was taken into detail and craftsmanship. Sometimes as I watch the movie I find myself focusing on the sets rather than the movie. Although this movie is labeled a "horror" film, it didn't terrify me, but it did scare me. I appreciate this film because of the amazing special effects and the set design.
