OP, it's a snooze fest. Don't believe any of the fantasists reporting their willies here. They just remember Claire Bloom's lesbo creation and how the whole thing seemed vaguely artsy. Nothing happens, the camera shots and music will drive you nuts, and Julie Harris is so completely tedious you'll wonder why the trees don't pull themselves up by their roots and chase her in her car for the pleasure of shutting that insipid yammering up once and for all.

Since the film is called, "The Haunting," and the main character is a big, scary, haunted mansion, anyone who is foolish enough to be frightened by anything on the screen rather than fasten on the psychological profiles of the human (and previously human) characters must, by definition, be a "moron."

It's a small wonder that a script which conceives lesbianism in such bigoted terms also designates the nursery as the wellspring of horror and the married, maternal figure as the woman-in-white who causes the sensitive Harris's death. In the end, what haunts the movie is precisely the notion that lesbianism is somehow unnatural and horrifying."

R15 here. Film buff. Let's examine R16's argument to see exactly what the value of the movie is in the fan's eyes.
[quote] Fuck you [R15]. It's a classic.
Okay. That's intelligent. Shall we say the writer is passing on informed second-hand information without evidence and citing an adjective as somehow being proof of value?
[quote] Julie Harris is fantastic as the repressed Eleanor.
Well, I suggest R16 look up the definition of the word "fantastic" as then check what I said at R15 to see how well it matches.
[quote] The movie was shot at a famous house in England, not New England where the story is set.
Very persuasive argument. We are at this point starting to wonder if your medication has just started to kick in.
[quote] Shirley Jackson had a lot of tragedy in her life.
And this means what in reference to the value of the movie, dear?
[quote] The book is a classic too.
I believe the word is "circular."
In other words, the fool offers nothing to indicate why anyone should think the movie is worth a bother, except that Julie Harris is fantastic.
And that is the level of DL criticism, from people accusing naysayers of being 15.

Director Robert Wise got his start working on the Val Lewton horror film unit at RKO in the 40's.
