thank you robert wise, my friend, for the original HAUNTING. it's so lame that mainstream filmmakers these days CGI the hell outta shit and expect us to turn off our minds. *yawn*
Long time ago as a kid I saw an old probably 60's colour-movie, same story, people kept overnight in an evil haunted house as an experiment. It was so scary I it gave me plenty sleepless nights.
First I thought it was the original "Haunting" of 1963. But that looked entirely different: black & white and with different actors. I saw a colour movie. And it wasn't this remake, I saw it in the late 70's. Does anyone know which movie I mean?
I'm going to be the lone dissenter and say that I thought this version was better than the original, and so did my mother, so I'm not totally alone. I thought the original was boring. No offense to Julie Harris personally, but I thought she was as dull as a dishrag in that movie. The special effects were lame in this one, no doubt. But Owen Wilson's character was a big improvement on the original portrayal, as was Catherine Zeta-Jones' role. To each their own.
i remember watchin this after some1 taped it of the telly when i was 8 it scared me to bits then .now its nt scary at all whats the point of it if it can only scare 8 yr olds
This movie was great, but I liked the original just a little bit better. The 1963 version had more of a creepy factor for me because you never saw the "ghost". I loved the way that the original really let my imagination run wild. The CG aspect in this took that part away and made it a lot less spooky for me.
The 1963 version was much better.

This movie belonged on Sci-Fi. Its one of those movies you watch when there isn't shit else to watch on tv. Its not even scary, its just so funny!

I agree. This version made a mockery of the original with it's over indulgence of special effects. Ruined the story.

Yeah, and the cast was a little corny as well.

Allegedly, the two of them shot a kissing/sex scene or something, but it was cut out of the movie and the footage was destroyed.

Oh my gosh, I saw this film when I was about 7
I've always wondered what it was actually called, coz I've been trying to find what it was ever since I saw it!
I only remembered some scenes, but watching this, more of it is coming back to me now
I'm surprised I rememebr any of it beacuse it was about 7/8 years ago! lool

You should watch the original movie that was made in 1963. Normally old black and white films don't scare me but that one gave me the creeps.
