Reviews

Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
The story is a mess, but for long periods of time that hardly matters. It's beside the point, as we enter one of the most striking spaces I've ever seen in a film.
63
Christian Science Monitor - David Sterritt
The Haunting can't quite decide whether it's an out-and-out thriller, a psychological drama, or a systematic demonstration of the latest computer-generated effects. But it should attract big crowds for a weekend or two on the strength of its attractive stars and deliciously spooky setting.
50
San Francisco Examiner - Wesley Morris
De Bont's effects-riddled remake of the '63 spook-out adaptation of Shirley Jackson's novel is not nearly as creepy as either its cinematic or its literary precedents. But it's a hokey, hokey entertainment and a $100 million Lili Taylor movie.
50
Washington Post - Desson Thomson
Eugenio Zanetti's set design is wonderful. But the movie isn't enough to make people check the shadows when they leave the theater.
42
The A.V. Club - Keith Phipps
You can buy the special effects, but if that's all you have to offer, it won't amount to much.
