... end of the film. This is a real ghost story in its purest and most worrying form. Put this film in the boot of your car, and drive past a field, and it would worry the sheep. This is a deeply psychological horror film about a professor of parapsychology who invites three people to spend a few days with him at a reportedly haunted house out in the middle of nowhere. His aim is to look for evidence of the entity which haunts the place. Made in the early 60's and in black and white, and relying not on "specia...more

The Haunting (Wide Screen) (DVD): Brilliant movie, true horror (288 words)
by - written on 20/08/00 (Very useful, 41 readings)

I have always believed that the source of real horror is uncertainty. It's what we can't see that scares us most. It's the IDEA that something MIGHT be under the bed, that worries us. For this reason, I have never rated films like Hellraiser as scary - this is simply a gore-fest in which we see the monsters in all their glory, and right at the outset of the story. However, in The Haunting, we never see a thing...not even at the end of the film. This is a real ghost story in its purest and most worrying form. Put this film in the boot of your car, and drive past a field, and it would worry the sheep. This is a deeply psychological horror film ... Read the complete review

Ive watched a lot of horrors in my time. I think reading horror is better, but this film stood out from the crowd. The effects are not the best, this film was made in the 60's, but it still scared me. this house is haunted (amtiville house style) by a poltergist and the family living in the house experience really wierd stuff. Theres a part where everybody is downstairs and they can hear someone in the bath upstairs. it may sound pathetic, but it is really scary. other horrors are mainly teen slashers that have no sense of realism in at all, but this does. its quite realistic and it sets ur mind to work. my advice is dont watch it when ur in the house on ur own.

"Hill House, not sane, stood by itself against its hills, holding darkness within; it had stood so for eighty years ... and whatever walked there, walked alone." This film adaptation of Shirley Jackson’s 1959 book The Haunting of Hill House is an understated gem. Shot solely in black and white, the story unfolds as anthropologist Dr. Markway assembles, at Hill House, a group of psychic researchers. Included in the group are two sensitives, Eleanor and Theo, and one avowed skeptic, Luke. Eleanor Lance (Julie Harris), who has spent her entire adult life caring for her sickly mother, finds herself (quite unhappily) staying with her ... Read the complete review
