I did like the atmospheric elements and how unlike many horror films today, there was not blood and guts, zombies, etc. It was all in your mind, what you feared. It was great to watch a young Julie Harris and Claire Bloom and the interplay between them very interesting. I was disturbed how the group didn't seem sad Nell had died! But great writing, Andre!Carol Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06193698533595071807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706937351903658758.post-29225193932324331782013-04-06T22:36:35.007-04:002013-04-06T22:36:35.007-04:00I just discovered your your review blog, Very good...I just discovered your your review blog, Very good! I like The Haunting, Repulsion, and other quite creepy movies. I would like to read your review of a movie from 1946 called The Uninvited. It is not a horror movie but a good ghost story. Maybe you will watch it someday and do a review.geofbrit59https://www.blogger.com/profile/16450580913274240844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706937351903658758.post-40672384868800739612012-06-04T23:46:59.072-04:002012-06-04T23:46:59.072-04:00This film establishes an eerie atmosphere and sust...This film establishes an eerie atmosphere and sustains it without gore or special effects. Julie Harris is exceptional as the unhinged Nell. This is a marvelous film and should be an example to filmmakers about how to make a ghost story without showing ghosts.Ace89https://www.blogger.com/profile/10910988855113730739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706937351903658758.post-53003698913672175312009-11-08T20:36:23.589-05:002009-11-08T20:36:23.589-05:00Ooh thanks I will definitely put the book on my re...Ooh thanks I will definitely put the book on my reading list.

The book is fantastic as well- The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson- if you haven't read it, I definately recommend it- it's a pretty quick read, and overall the movie is very close to the book- there are some differences though- i.e. Mrs. Markway (in the book their last name is Montague) is intrigued by the paranormal, and goes to the house to do some investigations of her ownEmilynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706937351903658758.post-12124202777812189272009-11-08T08:10:18.058-05:002009-11-08T08:10:18.058-05:00I love The Haunting, but it does scare the crap ou...I love The Haunting, but it does scare the crap out of me.
