The Haunting
"A Funhouse Of Shrieks And Screams!" -Joel Siegel - Good Morning America
In this edge-of-your seat supernatural thriller featuring Hollywood's hottest stars, a study in fear escalates into a heart-stopping nightmare for a professor and three subjects trapped in a mysterious mansion.
For over a century, the dark and forbidding Hill House has sat alone and abandoned...or so it seemed. Intrigued by the mansion's storied past, Dr. Marrow (Liam Neeson) lures his three subjects - Theo (Catherine Zeta-Jones), Nell (Lili Taylor) and Luke (Owen Wilson) - to the site for a seemingly harmless experiment. But, from the moment of their arrival, Nell seems mysteriously drawn to the house...and the attraction is frighteningly mutual. When night descends, the study goes horrifyingly awry as the subjects discover the haunting secrets that live within the walls of Hill House.
Don't miss the state-of-the-art special effects as Hill House unleashes its supernatural wrath in this latest thriller from the director of Speed and Twister.

well I liked it, the actors were good, the story was fairly cheesy but fun. Kept me behind my hands at times. I actually had to watch it during the day, OK I'm a chicken, but I also like scary movies that aren't too scared. So this was a good fit for me. I love Owen Wilson so that helped me enjoy it, but all of the actors did a good job.Love it :) - Heavan
l don't know what all the negetive feedback is about on this movie. The cast is all star and l am certain that with their previous bodies of excellnt work, they would know enough to read the 'whole' script before making the movie. As far as plastic props in the fireplace go, give me a movie that does'nt use props. l mean really people. Are Freddies nails really that long? lf they are, serious manicure needed. ls the Exorcist really based on true events? OUCH if it is. Every horror movie you watch is...Oh No, are you ready people? FAKE. This movie has amazing special effects and held my interest till the very end. As far as the guy falling off his chair in the theatre because he fell asleep during the movie out of boredom? Atleast he does'nt have Insomnia. And here is the scariest thing about it all....We spend our hard earned money to watch them. Let's face it. Every horror movie is corny in one way or another. Afterall. THAT'S HOLLYWOOD for ya. :)??? - Zoyamauz
What were they thinking? I find it hard to believe that such an interesting cast actually came together to make this picture. Did they read the script until the end? My guess is that they read the first 10 pages and were intrigued, as was I in the beginning... Halfway through the movie the alleged ghosts of some kids make their appearance, looking rather like some kind of cartoon figures - the plot gets really cheesy and all thrills cease. The remainder is just painful. I strongly recommend - SKIP THIS ONE!
