Don't Believe Everything You Hear
The WORD on this film kept me away from it since its release last summer, a similar fate experienced by the Anthony Hopkins, Cuba Gooding Jr. film, INSTINCT. In both cases, when I couldn't find anything else available at the video store, I ended up enjoying two very entertaining (key word, ENTERTAINING) DVD films. I agree that Liam Neeson 's stature was overkill for his character. But overall, it was a fine ensemble cast. The NON-COMPUTER generated effects were outstanding and deserve credit for the creators. And, if you have just assembled a good home theatre sound system, the Haunting is a must!To put it into perspective, Star Wars Phantom Menace was last year's truly Bad Movie...not the Haunting.
