The Haunting (DVD 2003)

This is the best ghost movie of all time, I first saw it when i was merely a kid. It scared me then and it scares me now. I love this movie becouse it doesnt rely on special effects, gore or anything particulary visual, but it uses atmosphere and phycological means to scare you. and it works.

1963 the film was made and it remains of the scariest movies of all time. with all the other ghost stories to hit the big screen this still remains the mother of all.

Julie Harris plays Eleanor Vance, who gradually becomes more and more hipnotised and intoxicated by the house until her ultimate demise.

The film did have one scene with a visual effect. the scene in the lounge where the door begins to worp and change shape as though it was breathing is one of the scariest scenes.

This movie is so much more intense and scaryier that the remake. Which i have also reviewed. The storyline is the best, with a group of sensitive's coming to stay at Hill House Its truly a classic ghost story.
