Product: The Haunting [VHS] (1999)
Rating: 3.0
Excellent Premise But fails on many levels
This was a great premise update the 1963 version of the movie with the same name and make with big budget special effects. It works for the great looking mansion and the special effects and some truly scary parts but on other levels it just fails. Mainly the cast a good cast with Liam Neeson and Cathrine Zeta-Jones and lilly Taylor they are wasted and those to characters who in the begining who are sent into town but never hear from them again what is up with that? Directed By Jan de Bont famous for speed this could have been truly scary and exciting. But it is only partly scary and exciting. But i reccomend it for the special effects and the production design.
