However, after the first hour or so, the well-made aspect was completely lost and the film, including the actors dialogue (solely writer David Self\u2019s fault) seem to lose their way, growing mundane and lackluster, slowing to a ridiculous grind, never regaining momentum all the way to the less than stellar and unbelievably unfulfilling ending.<span id=\"more-54450\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-54503\" title=\"TheHaunting-1999-Movie-11\" src=\"https:\/\/horrornews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/TheHaunting-1999-Movie-11.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/horrornews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/TheHaunting-1999-Movie-11.jpg 450w, https:\/\/horrornews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/TheHaunting-1999-Movie-11-400x282.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The Crain estate, also known as Hill House, is a massively secluded castle-like structure straight out of medieval times.

When Mrs. Dudley (Marian Seldes), eerily explains to Eleanor that prior to darkness, both she nor Mr. Dudley will no longer be on the grounds and that no one will even consider aiding during the night, the premise is completed.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-54499\" title=\"TheHaunting-1999-Movie-5\" src=\"https:\/\/horrornews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/TheHaunting-1999-Movie-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"184\" srcset=\"https:\/\/horrornews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/TheHaunting-1999-Movie-5.jpg 450w, https:\/\/horrornews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/TheHaunting-1999-Movie-5-400x164.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-54500\" title=\"TheHaunting-1999-Movie-7\" src=\"https:\/\/horrornews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/TheHaunting-1999-Movie-7.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/horrornews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/TheHaunting-1999-Movie-7.jpg 450w, https:\/\/horrornews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/TheHaunting-1999-Movie-7-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-54501\" title=\"TheHaunting-1999-Movie-8\" src=\"https:\/\/horrornews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/TheHaunting-1999-Movie-8.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/horrornews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/TheHaunting-1999-Movie-8.jpg 450w, https:\/\/horrornews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/TheHaunting-1999-Movie-8-400x200.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Theo arrives and Eleanor proceeds to giving her a tour of what she has already explored. In one of the most intriguing, effective and elaborate scenes, the two find a room with a slowly spinning dance floor surrounded by mirrors. While the scene heavily implied that it would eventually become part of the master plot, it failed to do so and will probably leave the screener wondering why it was used in the first place. Regardless, it is a sight to behold and certainly eye candy.<\/p>\n<p>The two leave the room and traipse on throughout the home\u2019s various rooms, prancing down a water-filled hall, leaping from book to book set like stones for crossing a stream. Again, the set implies future potential, but doesn\u2019t hold muster, only serving to express the home\u2019s extravagance.<\/p>\n<p>Barreling through a door, they clash into and meet a surprised Luke, who obviously, and rightly so, takes an instant liking to Theo.<\/p>\n<p>Fast foreword to the evening as Dr. Morrow explains the home\u2019s background, a bait and switch ploy, establishing and attempting to install fear. And, while the audience is aware of the doctor\u2019s motives, they are also privy to watching an untouched harpsichord\u2019s tuning peg slowly twisting and tightening the string to the point of snapping, which, when it does, whips across his assistant\u2019s face creating an ugly slice.<\/p>\n<p>For the next 35 or so minutes, the audience is led into a quite good, thought provoking mystery nearly equal to that of an Agatha Christie novel, with Nell making little discoveries along the way. However, the clues are subtle, bordering extreme vagueness and making the enigma very hard to follow. By the time the end of the movie rolls around and the case is finally cracked, the audience will most likely be left scratching their heads, feeling let down, and maybe even glad its over.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-54496\" title=\"TheHaunting-1999-Movie-1\" src=\"https:\/\/horrornews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/TheHaunting-1999-Movie-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"184\" srcset=\"https:\/\/horrornews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/TheHaunting-1999-Movie-1.jpg 450w, https:\/\/horrornews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/TheHaunting-1999-Movie-1-400x164.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-54497\" title=\"TheHaunting-1999-Movie-2\" src=\"https:\/\/horrornews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/TheHaunting-1999-Movie-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"184\" srcset=\"https:\/\/horrornews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/TheHaunting-1999-Movie-2.jpg 450w, https:\/\/horrornews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/TheHaunting-1999-Movie-2-400x164.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-54498\" title=\"TheHaunting-1999-Movie-3\" src=\"https:\/\/horrornews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/TheHaunting-1999-Movie-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"184\" srcset=\"https:\/\/horrornews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/TheHaunting-1999-Movie-3.jpg 450w, https:\/\/horrornews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/TheHaunting-1999-Movie-3-400x164.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Regardless, somewhere along the way Nell has made a connection with the ghost children. As the four attempt to flee the estate, Nell abruptly changes her mind choosing to stay and protect the held captive and unexplained as to why, tortured children. When the remaining three are unable to escape the house\u2019s grasp, Nell suggests they play a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a> of hide and seek with the evil ghost, something the ghost supposedly enjoys. Huh? What? Hide and Seek? Thus begins the welcomed ending.<\/p>\n<p>Scary this film is not and in a desperate attempt at frightening viewers, CGI special effects are used. While the wood carved children\u2019s faces changing expressions are, in all honesty, quite good and an asset to the film, it is the bed sheet based ghostly facial apparitions and impromptu appearances of the wicked previous home\u2019s owner that tend to be rather cheesy and unconvincing.<\/p>\n<p>The premise and location couldn\u2019t have been more perfect, and had this movie maintained what it began with, this would have been a must DVD for a ghost film connoisseur\u2019s collection. But, after watching it unfold into an absolute train wreck, this viewer is wondering how it managed to draw over 30 million it\u2019s opening weekend and why so many even considered spending the night in Hill House.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.target.com\/p\/the-haunting-blu-ray-2020\/-\/A-81144071?ref=tgt_adv_XS000000&amp;AFID=google_pla_df&amp;fndsrc=tgtao&amp;DFA=71700000012510700&amp;CPNG=PLA_Entertainment%2BShopping&amp;adgroup=SC_Entertainment&amp;LID=700000001170770pgs&amp;LNM=PRODUCT_GROUP&amp;network=g&amp;device=c&amp;location=9028977&amp;targetid=pla-682755619607&amp;ds_rl=1246978&amp;ds_rl=1248099&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQjwt4X8BRCPARIsABmcnOoYnXamhfa61NgLaF0pOx14at9zlo62DXsQoPvJjn3siS2wptVESikaAiISEALw_wcB&amp;gclsrc=aw.ds\" class=\"external\">The Haunting (1999) \u2013 purchase link<\/a><br \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Bonus Features:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Filmmaker Focus: Director Jan de Bont on <em>The Haunting<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Behind-the-Scenes Featurette<\/li>\n<li>Theatrical Teaser<\/li>\n<li>Theatrical Trailer<br \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-160603\" src=\"https:\/\/horrornews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/the-haunting-pack.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"522\" height=\"392\" srcset=\"https:\/\/horrornews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/the-haunting-pack.jpg 522w, https:\/\/horrornews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/the-haunting-pack-310x233.jpg 310w, https:\/\/horrornews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/the-haunting-pack-100x75.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 522px) 100vw, 522px\"\/><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">For forums sites go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/forum.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Forum.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>If you want to read more Like this articles, you can visit our <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.buradabiliyorum.com\/watch-movies-tv-series\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Watch Movies &#038; TV Series <\/a>category<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/horrornews.net\/54450\/film-review-the-haunting-1999\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Film Review: The Haunting (1999) Watch Online&#8221; SYNOPSIS:When Eleanor, Theo, and Luke decide to take part in a sleep study at a huge mansion they get more than they bargained for when Dr. Marrow tells them of the house\u2019s ghostly past.
