This movie is quite bad. Example: the house grows eyes and almost eats the main character. The Haunting, starring Liam Neeson and Catherine Zeta-Jones, had few entertaining surprises (I admit it; I screamed once), but for the most part the characters are under- developed and there simply is no atmosphere. Along with the rest of the audience, I mistakenly laughed when I was to be instead seized by terror.
Too much attention was given to the special effects, which although nicely executed, were not enough to carry the script, characters, plot, or dialogue.
RATING: 3 out of 10
