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.

Not what I expected
Haunting in Hill House, when my daughter recommended this, I admit, the first episode made me almost not wanting to watch another, but I did. And I'm so glad I did. I had both tears and a need for a nightlight while watching this. The only thing that kind of was meh, was some of the secondary actors. The main characters were a nice cast in my opinion, but their husbands and wives, eh they were ok. I really hope there's a second season.

compelling story
ingenious puzzle solving
Contains spoilers, click to show
i used to love the old style adventure games like Myst, Riven and Schizm and this definitely reminds me of these. Its a clever concept where a young boy get washed up on an island and sets out to find out what mysteries the island holds. A lot of puzzle solving that involves moving objects, lining them up, jumping, climbing and also collecting items and artifacts. Its a beautifully designed game with haunting music and a wonderful and colourful setting. I love it and i would recommend it to those that like puzzle/adventure games

Beautiful Animation
Even years later the animation manages to hold up in this film. The hauntingly beautiful images hold up and will no doubt continue to hold up for years to come. The sotry is cute and the dialogue is light hearted and adorable. The music sadly didn't hold up to be all that like I thought it was when I was younger. However everything else was gorgeous and I enjoyed every second of it. This is what Id consider a happy haunting film, perfectly appropriate as a family film and perfect for the October season!

Having never seen a Chucky film before I'm not sure how to take them, this was quite amusing, in a gory overkill kind of a way. I liked the modern technology aspect of the movie despite it giving me haunting memories of my own Google Home trying to scare me, and I think that will particularly appeal to more modern audiences. For the life of me though I don't understand how the Buddi doll made it through focus testing.
