Movie Rating
A decent paranoid, creepy, old school haunted house film....that then becomes an old school possession film. It starts well and is genuinely creepy and jumpy. The second half of the film changes direction somewhat and has an almost fairy tale feel to it. Not bad for a 12a rated horror film.

Original Horror
A decent original take on a few Horror styles. Mixing GoPro POV, Haunted House in a claustrophobic setting. A big House in the bottom of a lake.
Rather low budget, not the best dialogue but the unique setting makes up for most of the films minor flaws. Not really scary, more atmospheric and claustrophobic. Pretty good for a low budget film.
Short scene after the credits.

Hill House
The Haunting- doesnt live up to the oringal, now thats with most horror remakes, and this is one of them. Liam Neeson and Lili Taylor did a good job. Why cast owen wilson, he does nothing in the film but just say "wow". Catherine Zeta-Jones was just there.

The plot: This horror tale focuses on visitors to the secluded mansion of Hill House who have been called to the isolated location by Dr. David Marrow (Liam Neeson) as part of a study on insomnia. However, Marrow is really investigating fear, and he plans to scare the subjects, including the introverted Nell (Lili Taylor) and the seductive Theo (Catherine Zeta-Jones). Unfortunately for Marrow and everyone staying at Hill House, the manor is actually haunted by an evil spirit out to torment its guests.

Steven Spielberg talked to Stephen King about doing a haunted house movie, and the two agreed that Robert Wise's 1963 film "The Haunting" was a benchmark of cinematic house horror, but after they started writing, the two had creative differences. Spielberg agreed with King's idea to use the real-life Winchester Mystery House, in San Jose, California, as a source of inspiration.

Just watch the oringal.

"For when you need a ghost-story romance I just...fell in love with this book. It’s a historical romance set around the restoration of a haunted house with some serious Edith Wharton vibes. But it’s the characters that got me. Our unfairly maligned heroine and our absentminded professor hero are people you can’t help but adore—and root for."
