November 9, 2009Eerie haunted house story follows a paranormal investigator who gathers three people to a large estate to study the supernatural. Understated, low key and elegant, this horror film is based on the novel "The Haunting of Hill House" by Shirley Jackson. Film remarkably builds ten...( read more)

October 2, 2009A bit over-dramatic, like many films during this time period, but entertaining overall. Richard Johnson plays a wonderful ghost hunter (as well as lending one of his lines to White Zombie's Super-Charger Heaven).

October 3, 2008Confused with the G rating. Scariest film i have ever seen yet they allow the same audience as things like the spongebob movie to watch this. The MPAA is fucked up, unlike the British BBFC, who rate things appropiatly (it's a 12 here, and poltergeist, a PG in America is a 15 here). Don't let kids watch this.
