While Starfish will be far too arthouse for some folk, it really is a beautifully realised and haunting vision, with an excellent central performance by Virginia Gardner.

"Klimov’s film is an unflinching examination of evil and embraces the surreal in places, while serving up dirty doses of realism in others. The barn burning sequence is the most haunting scene I’ve seen on film."

Superb album, featuring the awesome Good Fortune and This Is Love and the surprising, haunting This Mess We're In, featuring Thom Yorke. Great rock songs with strong messages.

Watched last night good scary movie not all horror movies need gore but just as effective with jump scares instead and there's plenty of them as I've already seen the nun and learnt about her backstory and knew about the Enfield haunting already. The stand out star goes to madision Wolfe who plays janet the daughter at the center of the haunting amazing young actress. Some point gonna watch the third conjuring movie devil made me do it

The Haunted House
The Haunting- is one of the best horror movies of all time. Its scary, spooky, haunting, terrorfying, horrorfying and more.

The Plot: Dr. John Markway, an anthropologist with an interest in psychic phenomena, takes two specially selected women to Hill House, a reportedly haunted mansion. Eleanor (Julie Harris), a lonely, eccentric woman with a supernatural event in her past, and the bold Theodora (Claire Bloom), who has ESP, join John and the mansion's heir, cynical Luke (Russ Tamblyn). They are immediately overwhelmed by strange sounds and events, and Eleanor comes to believe the house is alive and speaking directly to her.

From the great novel- The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson.

In 2010, The Guardian newspaper ranked it as the 13th-best horror film of all time. Director Martin Scorsese has placed The Haunting first on his list of the 11 scariest horror films of all time.

The film was remade in 1999 by director Jan de Bont, starring Liam Neeson, Lili Taylor, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Owen Wilson, but that version was heavily panned by critics and audiences. Dont watch that film, but instead watch this masterpiece.

I would highly reccordmend this movie.

"The masterful Anne Tyler again steals away with the most incredible story of a family unraveling and unfolding with the truths of resentments, failures, jealousy and beauty. Such a thing to behold is Anne Tyler at work. Haunting"
