Reviews for The Haunting
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.

...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.

Without showing one ghost, Wise's camera works like a contorting black and white swallow.

One of film's great ghost stories. Great Humphrey Searle score.

The Haunting is a wisely sophisticated horror film of implication, subtlety, and restraint. Watching it now, after roughly three decades of consistently visceral horror films, is speculatively as frightening an experience as it was forty years ago.

One of the all-time creepy classics. Don't miss it.

The very first response to "What's a good haunted house movie?"

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.

It put me to sleep -- and Harris's constant, nagging voice over makes you want to tape your ears shut.
