Dan Ireland on “The Haunting”

Jan 21, 2008
Trailer 83 of 482

The subtle terror techniques that Robert Wise learned from his mentor Val Lewton are on uncanny display in the creepiest haunted house movie of them all. (The trailer's not too subtle, though.) Compare the original to the lamentable remake to see the difference between art and CGI junk.

Burt Lancaster was one of Hollywood's best actors, but how amazing is Tony Curtis in this? He's such a sniveling little social climber, and yet he's completely magnetic.. .
