movie review - The Haunting

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Sydney, 2000.05.20

Actually pretty terrifying at times, this is about a small cast of people invited to spend the night in a crazy old mansion, supposedly on a study about insomnia. Two of the characters disappear quickly, and there's a beheading, and I shall say no more. It's pretty much standard Hollywood fare, and not a bad ghost story.

Recommended.
