Rating: Summary: Haunting Review: I loved this movie! I could watch it over and over! My friend and I watched it I just I love it. IT's something you should definately watch it's creepy though.
Rating: Summary: I loved this movie! Review: This was so good. Okay, I give all of The Haunting haters that it WASN'T scary. But still! The house was beautiful, the actors/actresses were very good in it...Lili Taylor was the best one, as usual. She gave a believable performence as Nell, a reclusive shut-in. This movie did NOT deserve the beating it got from critics and viewers alike. So go rent it and you'll see what I'm talking about!
Rating: Summary: This was a great, great movie! Review: This was such a good movie. The sets were beautiful, the actors were very real. Lili Taylor was phenonemal in this! It did not deserve the beating it got from critics AT ALL!

Rating: Summary: Creepy Review: Being a huge fan of the original, I was just waiting to hate this film.....however I must admit that the atmosphere of the orginal has been reproduced by some great effect and some superb camera work. The actors perform quite well, however they do tend to play second fiddle to the effects - and more importantly the house itself (which is breath-taking). As the film progresses the feeling of dread builds to a good climax, which is slighly more upbeat than that of the original! Nevertheless this film does not deserve the slagging it got in the press and does well to keep up with the black & white version.
Rating: Summary: Great - then ZZZZZZ - then EGADS, what a waste! Review: Sad Sad Sad The waste of talent in this movie is such a sad state of affairs. Catherine Zeta-Jones is a much higher caliber actress, along with Liam Neeson's lame attempts to make this movie palatable is such a crime.... almost as if the movies' set was haunted! The beginning of the movie has so much promise - you feel the backround of the centralized story has promise, you get suckered into the premise this house has to offer - then, and without warning, the silliness begins. It is as if you've been thrown into an Addams Family reunion - the story line starts to wander, the characters continue to wander, and ideas and solutions pop-up without a warning or explanation... To say a "horror" movie isn't believable almost sounds absurd, but this movie gets you suckered in, then throws you on the floor flat... This is a definite - do not buy, borrow or rent! Just wait for cable!
Rating: Summary: Two Thumbs Up Review: I went to the theater to see this movie & I thought it was great. I really liked the special effects. Now the chemistry between the actors/actresses could've been better. I reaally liked the set too. I just thought everything about the movie was great. I can't believe that people whom have seen it are giving it bad reviews.
Rating: Summary: Huge talents in a poor poor movie Review: Awesome special effects, great set, and a group talented actors,but the film didn't reach expectations. The script and story was so bad that not even Entrapment's Catherine Zeta Jones, and Episode I Liam Neeson couldn't save the movie. Sometimes the movie gets interesting vand you get into it, but that's just a start, the ending messes up the movie.
Rating: Summary: SURPRISINGLY ENJOYABLE! Review: I guess there's nothing like expecting the worst from a movie - so often it winds up being so much better than expected and this is truly the case with THE HAUNTING. I know the original is a classic but as big a fan as I am of classic horror movies, I have never been fond of the original Robert Wise film. I found this remake to be better in so many ways...the characters (while not as interesting as the originals) are a much nicer bunch to be around; the effects are wonderful; the house itself is magnificent and Lili Taylor is terrific. Movie purists will probably hate me for this but I loved the ending which made much more sense to me than the first one. The DVD is exquisite by the way...the sound effects are incredible and never drown out the dialogue. This HAUNTING is a fun-house version of Shirley Jackson's novel - a couple of jolts along the way, scary sounds, things that go bump in the night sort of stuff - no real terror but a fun 2 hours in a haunted house. And Catherine Zeta-Jones looks so good throughout, that alone would be worth the price of the movie!
