I’m sure this film was great for it’s time but it really didn’t do much for me. The haunting/hallucinations were pretty mild, consisting of some noises alone. The lead character wasn’t very likable so I was not very invested in her fate whether it be a haunted house or mental disorder. If you’re into haunting/psychological horror films that lean on a more slow burn this one might be for you.

From director Robert Wise comes the classic horror film The Haunting. Based on a novel, the story follows a researcher who puts together a group to aid him in a study of the paranormal at a house with a sorted history of death. The characters are a little one-note, but the mystery of the house fairly interesting. And Wise does a good job at creating tension and suspense. The Haunting has a few weaknesses, but overall it’s a solid haunting house story that delivers a few chills.

**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.**

Movies about haunted houses? Whoever saw one of them, saw them all… right? I like to think not. And this film is probably the grandfather of a good number of them More

“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.”

I can’t be More

"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
