Product: The Haunting [VHS] (1999)
Rating: 3.0
Actually the second time around it's not that bad.
Ok so the first time I saw this I thought it was pretty bad and dumb. So I got the DVD for an early Christmas present and thought why not lemme watch it again. I did and I was surprised that I liked it the second time...not that it was fantastic or anything but I learned if you dont take it too seriously it's actually pretty fun and entertaining. The special effects are fantastic and real looking but when the last 15 minutes come look out...absurdity hits right about now which makes it not great. The ending is the worst part...but up until there it's a fun movie. Now for the DVD it's fantastic with a clear crisp picture and the colors were rich and vibrant. The sound was fantastic and was great with surround. The special features could have been better and added the scenes that were cut to recieve an R rating. The only special features are a 30 min docu on the film, a teaser trailer and a full length trailer, bios and menus. Now for the menus themselves they were pretty neat and were animated with music in the background. An audio commentary would have been nice had they added it but they did not. This being a signature collection is a bit meager in it's features but the DVD is overall great.
