The Haunting is a haunted house film. The house in question is Hill House - a historically unlucky building with plenty of deaths under it's roof. Dr John Markway (Johnson) is trying to prove that the paranormal exists and therefore brings in some people with previous experience with spooks to stay at the creepy mansion.The Haunting isn't gory or full of jump scares. It just feels creepy and sinister. Julie Harris plays Eleanor, a character who seems to descend into madness and as she is also the narrator the film seems to get more and more creepy as it goes on. One scene with a face on the wall stands out as the scene that is most likely to make you feel uncomfortable.
It's old fashioned horror but damn does it do it good.
****Good
