A Wanting Haunting
Added 10/25/2009
This film recycles every haunted house cliche from the black-and-white movie era, and the tone of the movie often veers into camp (especially with Lili Taylor's performance). The back story is muddied and incoherent too. It's a shame that with such a large budget for special effects and with so many talented actors, The Haunting doesn't generate more thrills for the audience.

I was really stoked to watch this movie. And I honestly enjoyed the first half of the it - the setup. I love the actors here. The look and feel of the picture was great, dug the vibe. A bunch of strangers come together for an insomnia experiment in a haunted house in New England. The Dr, Liam Neeson hasn't told them that he wants to study their reaction to fear. They stay in the house a couple of days and it begins to have an effect on them. Lili Taylor's charactor in particular.
That's about as far as I can go w/o spoilage. I'll just say it becomes predictable haunted house story after that. I didn't get the thrills I was expecting. Such interesting characters. Such potential. I've rarely seen a movie that was such a let down.

1. This is one of those rare movies where it's so lame, that I didn't / couldn't finish it.
2. This movie is so lame, that spending more time writing a detailed review is a waste of time.
