Review #2 of My Horrible Collection: Shocktober list.
On the one hand I heard that this is still one of the scariest movies of all time. On the other hand I knew it was old, black and white and probably slow. Still, I got the Blu-Ray to see what it's about. And I don't regret it one bit.
Yes this movie is old. It's black and white and it has no annoying jump scares. Yes it has jump scares, but they are deserved and do not annoy. The Haunting is all about the ambiance. All throughout the movie you are wondering if it's all real ghosts haunting the place or if it is all in Eleanor's head.
And the Haunting actually managed to scare me. Maybe not as much as some of the more modern movies, but it got the mood just right. I watched it at night, in my dark room, which helped a lot.
The characters were great, each of the main characters had something to them, they were all unique and special. And all likable for who they were.
I really enjoyed this movie and can only recommend it to everyone, I'm giving it 4 out of 5 stars and a like.
