Review of The Haunting (1999) by Cheyenne — 05 Sep 2009
To be completely honest, I had fun with this movie than any other horror film I've seen. Well, it's not really a horror film; it's more of a suspense film. The effects looked like something from a 1970's fantasy movie, but I loved the storyline and the dialouge. I think I'm beggining to really appreciate remakes for the first time :-) Sure it does have its boring moments, but it also had entertaining moments to balance it.
Also, I don't care what people think about this movie. They might think it's dumb, but I seemed to enjoy it (kind of like 'The Happening'. I liked it, but everyone else didn't).
The whole cast was wonderful in this good remake. I loved Catherine Zeta-Jone's wardrobe in the film and I couldn't get over to how young Owen Wilson looked and, well, I couldn't stop drooling over Liam Neeson (feel free to arrest me for falling in love LOL)! I just LOVE him! I love his movies, I love his acting, and I love his good looks. Call me obsessed ;-).
Also for some weird reason, the movie kind of reminded me of 'Casper'. I don't know why, but it just did. It's a mystery.
In conclusion, this is an 'undiscovered gem' that I will treasure and everyone else won't. You kind of have to be in a right mood to watch this film and absorb eveything in order to like it, but if you're not quite as picky, you'll like it! Just give it a chance.
