Negative Positive
Title: ABSOLUTELY DISMAL, DISTRESSING FILM
Review: Despite this movie's impressive pedigree (classic novel, classic sixties horror film) "The Haunting" manages to foul the entire story up with dreadfully over-the-top special effects and a contrived, ridiculous story. Roots aside, this movie in its own right is poorly crafted and uniteresting. Special effects buffs may enjoy it, but wouldn't they enjoy a well thought out story laced with intelligence and wit better?
