The Haunting - DTS

Rating:
Summary: Three star theater - because....
Review: it's just not very scary, folks. I give it one star for atmosphere and set, one star for attractive actors, and one star for loudness. This movie has zilch to do with Shirley Jackson's novel (one of the most frightening stories I have ever read) and bears no resemblance to the previously filmed adaptation from the 1960's. Very loud, a lot of special effects, actors running all over the place yelling things like "are you all right?" and some absurd story about past child labor, never made clear. Disappointing!

Summary: ABSOLUTELY DISMAL, DISTRESSING FILM
Review: Despite this movie's impressive pedigree (classic novel, classic sixties horror film) "The Haunting" manages to foul the entire story up with dreadfully over-the-top special effects and a contrived, ridiculous story. Roots aside, this movie in its own right is poorly crafted and uniteresting. Special effects buffs may enjoy it, but wouldn't they enjoy a well thought out story laced with intelligence and wit better?

Summary: Great special effects. Lili Taylor shines!
Review: Not as scary as it could have been, but I don't think this version was meant to be. Lili plays Nell, the main character and is the best actor in this film. The house comes alive with ghostly images and draws you in as if you were one of the guests. Well done! Don't listen to the critics. See this one and judge for yourself.

Summary: Poopy!
Review: Not scary, bad acting, boring story... One star added for some nifty special effects. I really wanted to like this movie, but alas, it was another "Armageddon."

Summary: One of the most scariest movies I have ever seen!
Review: This movie has got to been one of the best horror movies I have seen in years. This movie made me so scared, when we saw it in the movie theater, I screamed out "Oh, my god!" at one scene of the movie! This movie is a thriller.

Summary: Worst Movie Ever Made
Review: If you've ever seen the original you'll know that this film is anything but good. The story arc is poor, there is a total lack of character motivation, and the script seems as if they wrote it as they went along. Very little care was paid to the story when bringing this film to the screen. The only care seems to have been for the special effects. I want my two hours back.

Summary: i liked Owen Wilsons part. IT was a suprising film that will
Review: This was a great movie.It was beutifly made. It will scare you bad. Its cast fits the parts like pieces to a puzzle. Catherine Zeta Jones,Liam nesson,Liv Taylor,and Owen Wilson are great. Four people go to a haunted house not knowing it was haunted.Boy,are they in for a scare.

Summary: EMBARASSINGLY BAD
Review: This is the worst film of all time. The only amusement came from making fun of the acting. How they got Liam Neeson and Zeta Jones to be in this movie is incredible. I was looking forward to bathroom breaks so I would miss some of this movie. Total poop!!

Summary: Not Exactly Scary But Fun Anways
Review: I saw this movie twice in the theaters. It is a very good popcorn movie and is fun to watch. It isn't scary but the acting is good and the special effects only make it better.
