The Haunting Reviews
A ghost has to work overtime to haunt Hill House...the best-that-money-can-buy technology of The Haunting shows how little you can make of too much.

High-tech remake is dumb and overblown.

If you crave horror, you're better off seeing The Blair Witch Project a second or third.

In The Haunting, the moviemakers succeed in something very difficult: creating a haunted house with real personality and terror.

A passable piece of summer hokum, but it underlines how difficult it has become to make an effective horror movie.

The more this new Haunting tries to impress with its state-of-the-art techniques, the more it recalls how much Wise accomplished with eerie lighting effects and mysterious noises on the soundtrack.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jan 1, 2000
A lavish illustration of how to take a fairly modest black-and -white horror film from 1963 and amplify it so relentlessly that the sight of the flying cow in Twister would not be all that amiss.

Worse than awful!

Director Jan De Bont may have made a cow fly in Twister, but he can't keep the howling dog called The Haunting from spinning into FX excess.

A blaring kitsch project of a horror film.

An overpriced mess!

The Haunting is a muddled mess that defies any rationality.

When The Haunting finally limps to its conclusion, you may feel like booing the screen.
