Product: The Haunting [VHS] (1999)
Rating: 1.0
good special effects, but no plot
To think of the courage it took hollywood to actualy claim that this was taken from Jackson's book "The Haunting of Hill House" is amazing. I am a big fan of the book and I'm just writing to tell that there is little simularity's between the movie and the book. Only the names are the same and 1 five minute scene is taken from the book. The rest is from the imagination of the screenwriter. I would think that if you are going to change that much of a plot, then you shouldn't be allowed to advertise it as from the book. However, the special effects are amazing, the acting is well done. They should have put another title to it and changed the names of the charecters. Then it could have been there own work. Very disapointing.
