Review of The Haunting (1963) by Timothy M — 25 Jul 2010
Wow. I must admit, I'd never really thought of Wise as a stylist, but this is very impressive directorial effort. Chock-full of atmosphere, Wise's expertise and diversity is really apparent here, I think.
The performances are very good, considering the genre, although I think Julie Harris overacts just a wee bit too much. Richard Johnson is awesome, as is Claire Bloom. Russ Tamblyn is just kinda... there, but he does well with what he's got.
One of the more effective "horror" films I've seen.
