Product: The Haunting [VHS] (1999)
Rating: 5.0
This Movie Should Be Considered To Be "A Pathetic Comedy!!!"
In this sorry excuse for a Horror movie we see Liam Neelson who lures a group of insomniacs to a Gothic Mansion in the pretext that he will be assessing their various Sleep Disorders. Catherine Zeta Jones is beautiful as always but her character is a bisexual barbituate swallowing fashion victim who thinks that one of life's necessities is 'sex". Poor Catherine states' Do you ever feel that you are the only one at the party?". Stephen King once stated that' CHARACTERIZATION is all important in a Horror book or movie. If the viewer likes the characters then he or she will have some empathy with their fate. Sadly none of these people are very likeable and as a result you don't care about what happens to them. The special effects are (unintentionally ) very funny. Wood carvings of cherubs seem to come to life. This reminds me of my wild reckless youth where after consuming too much Jim Beam things started to shift and move too. I give this movie 5 stars because Catherine looks so good in it.
