Review of The Haunting (1963) by Sameir A — 09 May 2017
A scientist doing research on the paranormal invites some people to a haunted house for some studies. Only three show up, 2 women and 1 man. The house had many scary back stories for around 90 years.
When it comes to horror, jump scares, ugly faces, gore.. blood etc are the usual stuff. Very few films stay out of these cliche. Great director Robert Wise, was successful in creating a great horror film without the usual stuff. Beautifully filmed in black and white, it gives depth to the horror mood. Actors performance also added to the flavor, especially Julie Harris.
Please stay away from the star cast remake in 1999. Watch the original version of 1963.
A definitely must watch.
Highly recommended.
