Review of The Haunting (1963) by Henrik S — 08 Sep 2009
The classic haunted house movie. Dark corridors, lurking shadows and noises from the other world. The movie follows a working formula of spooks and pits a handful of different people, the prof, the beau, the lesbian and the wicked lady in an old house under ludacrious circumstances. An experiment to find out about the paranormal. What follows is a long ride through scary sensations and questions of believing in the paranormal etc. The story is spiced up by the protagonists schizophrenic reactions towards the possessed building as she is equally scared and flattered by the house's will to "keep her there". The movie suffers from a week cast however, and the side-plots are very unintersting and tedious. It is a classic spooker however and will appeal to all fans of the genre.
