Product: The Haunting [VHS] (1999)
Rating: 5.0
A GOOD, CLASSIC HAUNTED HOUSE FILM!*****
This movie was great! Though not very scary, the director, Jan de Bont did a bang-up job on it. The film has hardly any bloopers in it, and the special effects are fantastic. The plot is great and creepy, the actors/actresses give a knock-out performance and the movie is above all, GOOD! Not to mention, along with the constant cold temperature felt by the characters, and the swaying drapes, and the scary noises heard by Huge Crane (bad guy) the movie is actually if watched in the dark for the very first time...SCARY! The part where the skeleton lurches out of the fireplace made me jump. The slamming doors, the moaning echoes, the brilliant score conducted by Jerry Goldsmith, all give this movie the perfect touch to be allowed in the horror section.
