Product: The Haunting [VHS] (1999)
Rating: 3.0
Decent
The Haunting was an odd movie. The special effects were amazing. And much to my surprise, it was actually scary. I think it may be the first time in my adult life I ever screamed while watching a movie (much more from surprise than fear). But the script was definitely lacking. I came close to pitying Nell, the main character, but really felt a lack of empathy for the characters overall- Rather than being shocked if something was about to happen to one of them, I was more anxious to see what special effects would be used. There were also serious holes in the plot. This is a good movie if you just want to relax and have fun, but don't expect a moving experience.
