Product: The Haunting [VHS] (1999)
Rating: 5.0
Thrills, Chills, and awesome special effects.
I recently purchased and watched The Haunting on DVD. It was the type of movie which keeps you in suspense, not in horror.Shirley Jackson's original Novel THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE, is brought to life in this rollercoaster of suspense. I was amazed at how hard The Haunting strived, and suceeded to follow the original novel, one of my favorite books. The storyline, which is already difficult to bring to the screen, was done so, with the upmost elegance.The Hauntings special effects were very well done, and thankfully not overblown. The director chose to drive the story based on characters, not based on effects, and that is what always makes a movie.
