Reviews for The Haunting
The scariest movie of its day
02/03/04
One of the best haunted-house movies ever. Very spooky.
10/01/03
You might not have a lot of answers by the end but you'll find various scenes stay with you long after the movie is over.
06/13/01
A dark brooding atmosphere, disturbing psychological insights and a handful of suddenly executed surprises make this old horror as fresh and vital as the day it was made.
10/19/08
Pretty effective when it came out; it may be a little stiff in the joints by now, but it's still a much better scare show than the recent stinker remake.

Top CriticThe horror remains admirably attuned to the sense of solitude in a premature spinster
09/06/09
...easily ranks among the finest supernatural suspense films ever made.
04/06/06
...it's what we don't see in The Haunting that makes it scary.
08/03/03
Spooky and atmospheric haunted house film, put to shame by the dreadful remake.

07/26/02
Properly creepy, unlike like the dodgy remake.

To say that Wise's The Haunting is better than De Bont's The Haunting damns the Wise picture to faint praise I fear it deserves.
08/04/03
It put me to sleep -- and Harris's constant, nagging voice over makes you want to tape your ears shut.
01/01/00
Ghosts! And they are unseen, frightening things in this creepy classic.
