Description

Haunting, The (DVD) (Rpkg)Hill House has a reputation for evil. The mysterious New England mansion has been the scene of grisly murders. But when four people spend the night, they find themselves trapped by The Haunting. Anthropologist Dr. John Markway (Richard Johnson), who seeks to disprove the legends; heir to the mansion Luke Sannerson (Russ Tamblyn); psychic Theo (BAFTA Award winner Claire Bloom); and Eleanor Vance (Julie Harris), who has a tenuous hold on sanity, slowly come to realize that the stories are all true. Now, Scream--no one will hear you! Run--silent footsteps will follow. The dead are restless in Hill House!]]>

I agree with Martin Scorsese!
This is the greatest scary movie of all time! (Thanks to Shirley Jackson for all of her creepy stories.) The acting, directing, cinematography, etc. are wonderful. What a contrast to current movies that lay on the effects, gore, and rehashing (not well) of the great films that are such a disappointment What a lot of terror and madness so subtly conveyed. This movie is a masterpiece. I watch this every 3 or 4 years and this time I became aware the theme of repressed sexual urges of women. Abigail never leaves her childhood bedroom! The companion ends up living alone. And Eleanor sleeps on a couch in her sister's home. Even the doctor's wife sleeps in the nursery instead of with her husband! Eleanor escapes the couch and immediately is infatuated with the doctor. Once his wife arrives, Eleanor transfers her 'passion' to the house. She's "disappearing" into the house as one subsumes oneself in one's lover. "It needs me" "I'm the one it wants", etc. I know what Eleanor was thinking when she acknowledges that she "is expecting something to happen" to her. The greatest scary movie of all time! Deceptively simple and so complex. ... show more

An iconic black and white psychological horror movie that would make Woody Allen proud (and scared).
One of the best psychological horror films that still stands the test of time that also offers us brief glimpses into the unenlightened attitudes towards homosexuality in those earlier times. Julie Harris and Claire Bloom are amongst the pivotal characters of the film and deliver outstanding performances respectively as Eleanor Lance and the Lesbian psychic Theodora. The narrative of the plot regarding the beginnings of Hill House is recalled in bone chilling detail and convincingly establishes the supernatural elements of Hill House. Even the subsequent scene of Dr. Markway negotiating with Mrs. Sanderson for permission to use Hill House for Markway's paranormal research reveals a clue that is a foreboding indicator of things to come. Mrs. Sanderson inherited Hill House from a distant relative and her cane is identical to the one used by old Abigail Crain. Russ Tamblyn (of West Side Story fame) is perfectly cast as the playboy nephew of Mrs. Sanderson who hopes to inherit Hill House and joins the group as an overseer of the proceedings and provides a welcome element of perfectly timed humorous, but not overtly comedic relief in the strict Shakespearian sense. Eleanor Lance is essentially a woman who is the midst of a psychotic emotional breakdown who finds escape from her tormented past in a decisive bonding with the supernatural elements of Hill House after being disappointed by her delusional romantic obsession with Dr. Markway and her undisguised revulsion of Theodora, with whom she at first considered to be a friend. We see that it is a combination of all the aforementioned disappointments and her ever deteriorating mental state that finally drives her to the embrace of the sinister ghosts that haunt Hill House. The use of black and white film is used to maximum effectiveness, with the director's (Robert Wise) use of shadow and light to enhance the evil personae of the house to a degree of success that would please even Woody Allen. The dour but all too knowing housekeeper and her groundskeeper husband (the Dudley's) are minor characters, but wonderfully portrayed by Fay Compton and Valentine Dyall. They, like Mrs. Sanderson's cane, underscore the dangers of the events that are about to unfold. We see them only briefly but they are first class supporting character actors who are masterful in their use of facial mannerisms and mode of speech; conveying menace without hamming it up and spouting dreadful cliches. All in all, this is an iconic classic that is timeless and effortlessly inflicts true terror on the viewer without the (dubious) enhancements of modern CG special effects. ... show more

The Definitive Ghost Film Masterpiece
What can I say? This is a truly great film. I can watch it over and over, and enjoy it immensely each time. Some younger viewers may find it boring or tedious -- they may wonder why there are NO special effects, to speak of. There are no explicit visions of the supernatural. No gore.... no dismemberment. What there IS is a fantastic and hugely chilling SUGGESTION of evil, danger, and malevolence. It's scary as hell. Everything is hinted at.... and almost subliminally portrayed. "Something" is seriously and obscenely wrong with this house. The house itself wants to use you for its evil outcome, its malevolent agenda. There is such an aura of twisted malice, and vile intent. Wonderfully cast, and spectacularly photographed, this is a paranormal gem. All of the acting is consistently marvelous. The editing, camera angles, and musical (and sound effects) score ratchet up the fear factor. And director Robert Wise does a stunningly good job of disturbing, frightening, and unsettling us. He keeps us off-balance and fearful from the first scene, with its jarring children's music, all the way to the chilling and devastating conclusion. This film is a supernatural tour de force. ... show more

Good Movie, But Still Diverges From the Book
As a fan of the novel The Haunting of Hill House, I was eager to watch this movie. It is acclaimed for being "true to the novel," and I must admit, many of the lines are taken straight from the book. However, I felt that some of the omissions give it as much an original spin as the 1999 remake. There is a key conversation in the novel discussing the difference between a "haunting" and "poltergeist." It is up to the viewer/reader to determine whether the house is haunted, or Eleanor is manifesting poltergeist phenomena. (After all, the other characters DO see and hear things, once not even in her presence.) However, this movie removes that element completely. Instead, it strongly hints that Eleanor is mentally ill and imaging the whole thing. It leaves the possibility open that the house took advantage of her mental weakness, so it was a combination of the house and Eleanor's mind. But actual hauntings and poltergeist aren't up for consideration. Just as the 1999 remake went too far pushing the haunting aspect, this version went too far pushing the psychological aspect. However, the actors and actresses did an amazing job! And it is great how the scriptwriter incorporated so many lines from the novel into the movie. ... show more
