Product: The Haunting [VHS] (1999)
Rating: 3.0
Nice Try...But....Doesn't live up to original
This movie is allright, not the best. It is loosely based on "The Haunting" wich came out in the early 60s(I Think 1963). The original was alot better. It(This one) starts out similar to the original, but then changes. It adds the Childrens' ghosts and those things. Though I think the door might have been made similar to a book they find in the 1963 movie(The door with hell and purgatory). It doesn't have the neat, and dizzying, camera angles from the first one. Instead it adds alot of special affects(Wich I will give them credit for doing a good job on, some credit that is). But compared to the first one.....It is really not that good or scary. If you want to see a good scary movie, than see the Original "The Haunting", Or the "Innocents"(Wich is very scary), or "The Changeling". Leave this one on the shelf, Save your money and get a real, scary horror movie, such as the ones I mentioned above.
