David SimsJun 7, 2021I would like to introduce you to my sons! Here is my eldest, The Haunting (1963)! [The Haunting (1963) stands and confidently extends its hand. It is tall and handsome and smells softly of sandalwood. Its gaze is dizzying.] And here is my younger son, The Haunting…

why even remake the film in 1999 if you’re not going to have theodora and eleanor bang?
jourdain searlesOct 9, 2019I actually liked the characters before the haunting started. I might even be willing to watch a romantic comedy with them in it. But a combination of awful effects, bad horror acting and a bad realization of the story made this barely watchable. Not even funny. Just bad.

I watched it for Theo and Nell, so it’s worth watching for me. If you watch it,I’m sure you’ll be laughing instead of covering your eyes 😌.

N3M3S1SVII likedThe HauntingAt least there’s a decapitation
Luca Tosti dislikedThe Haunting2/10
- mossy_cryptid likedThe Haunting
Don’t go into this movie expecting it to be terrifying. It was scary, and the effects were great for its time. For me, it’s more of a movie to put on in the background, or for a light watch. There’s some dying, scary things, twists. It was fun! I loved Theo and Nell, 6/10!
lainey likedThe Hauntingi don’t think i realized until i started watching that this was an adaptation of the shirley jackson novel, which i love! the ambiance and setting are sooo good. catherine zeta-jones is the perfect theo
Hank Leet dislikedThe HauntingA complete butchering of the original novel, terrible writing, bad acting, on-the-nose metaphors and themes and the only sound I heard while watching this was Shirley Jackson turning in her grave.

Metacritic
The story is a mess, but for long periods of time that hardly matters. It's beside the point, as we enter one of the most striking spaces I've ever seen in a film.
Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times
The Haunting can't quite decide whether it's an out-and-out thriller, a psychological drama, or a systematic demonstration of the latest computer-generated effects. But it should attract big crowds for a weekend or two on the strength of its attractive stars and deliciously spooky setting.
David Sterritt
Christian Science Monitor
The scariest thing about The Haunting is how awful it is. No, worse than awful: desperate. It’s a horror flick afraid of its own audience, as lost in its own geography as the fictional film crew in The Blair Witch Project.
