I don't find this movie scary at all, the plot line is stupid, and House on Haunted Hill is much better.
Yeah... reminded me of house on haunted hill. However it wasn't as great as I hoped.
Critic Reviews
To my surprise, I find myself recommending The Haunting on the basis of its locations, its sets, its art direction, its sound design, and the overall splendor of its visuals.full review
A mess, a jumble of fancy special effects that are supposed to be scary but are really just fancy, further decorated with dribbles of dialogue, most of which are unintentionally hilarious.full review
The only thing scary about the new version is realizing that someone keeps giving director Jan De Bont money to make movies.full review
