Probably the definitive haunted house movie. Like its cinematic sibling "The Innocents", it gets a lot of mileage out of its mentally unstable protagonist and the ambiguous nature of its ghosts. Smart, gorgeous, and chilling.

The question comes down to whether you like jump scares or a building sense of dread. I like both. This is the antithesis of A House on Haunted Hill, and I like that movie too. To be honest, I prefer The Innocents to both of these though. And, being perhaps too honest, I got more chills from Legend of Hell House even though it's an inferior ripoff of this movie. Being blatantly and overly frank, I wet my pants during The Changeling.

Beautifully shot, with some very effective setting and set design, this veers between a classic haunted house tale and psychological drama. The cast is very good, even if Harris' character may grate from time-to-time. Despite a couple of slow moments, and a bit of hokeyness creeping in, this is atmospheric and creepy, and quite memorable. Recommended.

Haunting is a great film in the manner that it treats the house as a fundamental element of the movie. It is a desire and dream machine whose "strange" and supernatural acts all correspond to characters' emotional quarrels. Wise takes a Bergmanesque chamber drama & imbues it with stylistic horror w/o de-intellectualizing it. However, the dialogues and motivations of characters seemed too superficial and sketchy to catch up with films masterful form.

An uncanny masterwork of subtle horror. It seems to float right on the mercurial surface that separates the psychological from the supernatural. Some of the ambiguous or subtle elements can be seen as lazy or boring. For the first third or so I was really in the latter camp but the film gradually crept under my skin and really left a strong impression. Stylistically it shows great restraint and measured intent although narrative structure really isn't its strong suit.

Atmospheric & effective horror film whose greatest problem is its failure to externalize the internal monologues of the novella's unreliable, lonely, approval-seeking narrator, instead simply relating the thought process through spoken narration. This objectification of the thought process, unfortunately, disambiguates the subjective and the objective, thereby implicitly privileging one reading (house is actually haunted) over another (Eleanor is crazy). Pleasurably creepy & off-kilter, though.

Is this a haunted house film or a psychological thriller? The beauty is that this film lets you decide. The true horror of The Haunting all takes place in your own mind. The setup for this movie is simple; A college professor studying the paranormal enlists three people to stay with him in a reputedly haunted house to study the phenomena. Before all is said and done, at least one member of this party will not leave.

The fantastic set design and some creepy atmosphere bring to life this "haunted house" ghost story/psychological drama. Although, despite appreciating some of the film's moments of creepy tension, unfortunately the movie's subtle ghost story isn't really something that frightens me exactly. Additionally the grating nature of "Eleanor", as well as aspects of the other characters, kind of lessened my enjoyment in facets of the psychological drama too. A mildly spooky classic still worth the watch.

This movie actually gave me goosebumps! Eleanor is a fascinating character, easy to sympathize with but also incredibly disturbing. I usually say it's better to just let the story elements progress rather than have the characters analyzing everything, but once you see this movie from start to finish, it instantly becomes worthwhile.

Robert Wise's haunted-house thriller (from Shirley Jackson's acclaimed novel) remains surprisingly fresh 50 years on, thanks to Wise's imaginative direction (aided hugely by Davis Boulton's nervy cinematography) and the superb cast: Julie Harris as the troubled Eleanor, Richard Johnson as the sly Dr. Markway, Claire Bloom as the sardonic psychic Theo, and Russ Tamblyn as the smug Luke are all remarkably good. There are some gaps in the story, but it's too brilliantly crafted to matter much.

Julie Harris is great in this. The internal monologue and the way her behaviour alternates between spaced-out and slightly manic constantly left me wondering whether it was her or the house that had gone haywire. Comparable to The Innocents in the way it relies on suggestion to create the atmosphere. There are one or two jump-out scares towards the end, but mostly you find yourself freaked out by things that aren't actually there, which is how it should be in a good ghost story.

There will never be a better looking Haunted House movie. The way Theo's glares C their way into, and dominate, the A-B conversations going on in the foreground of scenes is brilliant. The internal monologue comes dangerously close to being cheesy...but overall this was the movie that made me rethink what makes "horror" movies great, and I gotta respect that.

A very tasteful and subtle gothic horror, though rife with 60s psychobabble and with a somewhat irritating lead. it has a very hitchcockian feel, recalling rebecca and vertigo strongly, but with a bit more camp and bit less raw acting power. the best part for me is Theo the lesbian psychic who reveals a lot about the odd status of women in the early 60s, but the film certainly laid the foundation of gothic horror as well, despite not being frightening at all.

Great film. I found all of the characters to be extremely charming and fun to watch. All of the random stuff packing every room along with the "off" geometry and the way the rooms are all fully lit up made the film feel disorienting when the tension ratchets up and the camera work becomes more dynamic. I wasn't expecting this to be more of a psychological horror than a ghost film, but I think I found it even more affecting if you think of the film as being from her perspective.

An intensely eerie film, helped by the black-and-white cinematography, interesting characters, and experimental effects. It's not without it's flaws, namely the grating nature of Eleanor and the abrupt ending, but it achieves it's title as a milestone horror movie by being relatively smart and overwhelmingly frightening.

Beautiful to look at but difficult to connect to. Some of these characters don't seem to have real motives so it takes me out of feeling like I'm right there in the movie with them. That's difficult for horror since it stops being scary at that point. But I was entertained the entire way through and enjoyed the Miss Moneypenny cameo!

It's not quite as funny as "The Ghost and Mr. Chicken"... I find this a bit too hokey to be actually scary. The first 25 minutes are excruciating, until Claire Bloom (followed by the rest of the main cast) finally shows up. The score is terrible, the sort of 60's crap that gives modern music a bad name, and there's WAY too much of it. And the incessant voiceover narrating Julie Harris's thoughts...so very annoying. One of the few movies about which I disagree with Pauline Kael (she likes it).

Remarkably effective for a film so old - but then again, it's only doing what all of the best horror does: simplicity & restraint. The mind is more frightening than anything produced via VFX, which is why paranoia is such a powerful theme and works so well here; that grouped with loneliness, misplaced purpose, guilt, fear of the unknown... And what better way to keep the unknown frightening than to keep it out of sight? The monologue is overused, but restrained enough to keep things effective.

Everbody has the right to run away. Pretty good-looking and still effective -- oh, the vibes of that first hour, Eleanor arriving and sensing that Hill House is staring at her -- gothic horror on trauma, loneliness and suicide entirely built on stuff we all recognise in any flick today -- things bumping at night, banging at your door, an invisible hand holding yours, cold spots, weird architecture with "wrong" angles, darkness laughing and crying -- but that still can make us chill.

The Haunting is nothing short of brilliant film making. The story leave just enough ambiguous to be far more interesting than modern horror movies. The acting is perfectly in keeping with the times. The camerawork is to a standard that would not be invented for years to come. It balances bombast and subtlety perfectly and exists as one of the scariest movies of all time.

Inferior to its contemporaries. For a superior haunted house film, look to THE INNOCENTS (1961). For a superior psychological thriller, look to REPULSION (1965). THE HAUNTING is an uncharacteristically restrained and subtle horror story, which is kind of a double edged sword: You appreciate its less is more approach while simultaneously wanting more. The problem? Well, it's dull. Too many dead areas, too much teasing, and not anywhere near as satisfying as it wants to be.

What I like about this film is that it never relies on fake scares. It jumps right into the real stuff. There are a few spooky moments and some sense of atmosphere. But much of it is dull. The film doesn't have enough plot to fill its running time, so we get a lot of Julie Harris (an intensely annoying and tiresome performance) fretting over this and that. The stretches between the scary parts are so uninteresting. I did enjoy some of it, but I wish it had a more consistent air of tension.

Camerawork, sound design & editing are truly impressive. The big problem is the script's increasingly awful characterization. Characters work far better as cutouts for Far Left “academics” to write essays about in feminist/LGBTQ journals than characters that make sense. What exactly is going on w/ the lead is left unclear & all the characters are literally terrified one minute & blase' the next. The doctor consistently refuses supernatural explanations, but is then terrified of a nursery

This film is a masterclass in not showing much and still making a really creepy and effective horror film. In several sequences, Wise uses not much more than sound and a static shot to produce profoundly disturbing scenes. This works so well partly because the film sets up a subdued, creepy tone right from the start, and because of the really amazing design of the house and David Boulton's deep focus cinematography.

Saw this the day after I saw the similar The Innocents and while there's lots to like, I didn't find it as effective as that film. I didn't find it as atmospheric or creepy. The VO device of Eleanor, giving us her thoughts, is overused-Harris's performance got these ideas across without the need for the VO more often than not. Tamblyn's performance (or character) is a bit annoying. The set design is top notch and there's some cool stuff happening with the camera. Good but a tad disappointing.

Watching this for the first time in 2022, this ~60-year-old horror film is surprisingly excellent and has aged well. We see much of the film through the eyes of a protagonist richly portrayed by Julie Harris. The film's lesbian undertones and depiction of mental illness make this as much about alienation and the struggle with identity as it is about the supernatural. A psychological horror story in a *truly* scary haunted house, this is horror done right!

As someone with mental illness, I gotta say, this is a *painfully* accurate portrayal of how it feels. And I note, this isn't "oh is the haunting real or is it all in her head"; this is "she's mentally ill and at the end of her rope and then *also* has to deal with a genuinely haunted house", which, honestly, feels much more compelling, especially with the fraught queer barely-even-subtext. Difficult to watch, so much that I might've given it a higher score if it was less accurate, but worth it.

It's a good ol' horror movie with a genuinely creepy mood and an amazing setting with the house itself. There are some neat camera tricks there as well (like the shot through the mirror) and a lot of tension is achieved by the use of different shots themselves. I can appreciate that when a lot of the modern horror relies so much on cheap jump scares.

Another one from the 1001 Movies You Must Watch Before You Die list. This one is based on Shirley Jackson's 1959 novel The Haunting of Hill House. For a film that's now 50+ years old it's still a worthwhile watch. The interesting camera work and use of mirrors within the allegedly haunted house really sets the mood. I haven't read the novel yet but it's certainly on my to-read shelf. #1001Movies

The lead isn't half as interesting as the supporting cast, but it looks great, and there are some genuinely creepy moments.

Quite frightening but exhausting and humourless melodrama with a lot of suspense and not enough plot for its length. The wide screen is a disadvantage.

Deeply manipulative, and manages to make some genuine chills out of nothing at all -- just smoke and mirrors. Beautifully shot and acted, with Julie Harris giving it her considerable all. This is one of the very few movies that is better than the novel it is based upon.

This gothic horror, adapted by Val Lewton protege Wise from Jackson's _The Haunting of Hill House_, may be somewhat overrated but still supplies ample atmosphere, subtle chills galore, and an excellent turn by Harris as a raging neurotic.

Too boring and dull. I had to stop this film.

More is less. This is proof. If you can make it through some of the rather dull set-up, you'll be rewarded with a tremendously tense final at, I swear.

Chilling and spooky, without any cheap "startle" scares.

The film eventually begins to drag, but the camera work is perfect in establishing the tone of the film and creating a real sense of unease
