**A simple film with a basic script, but which scares us in such a way that it still has an influence on horror productions today.**

“An evil old house, the kind some people call haunted, is like an undiscovered country waiting to be explored. Hill House had stood for 90 years and might stand for 90 more. Silence lay steadily against the wood and stone of Hill House, and whatever walked there... walked alone.”

"The Haunting" is a beautiful Black & White film based on a haunted house and one particularly haunted woman. I really like the atmosphere and the way Robert Wise builds tension and the dread of the unknown to generate frights. I wouldn't say "The Haunting" is a scary movie but it is effective More
