Plots(1)
"It was an evil house from the beginning, a house that was born bad". The place is the 90-year-old mansion called Hill House. No one lives there. Or so it seems. But please do come in. Because even if you don't believe in ghosts, there's no denying the terror of The Haunting. Robert Wise returned to psychological horror for this much admired first screen adaptation of Shirley Jackson's "The Haunting of Hill House". Four people come to the house to study its supernatural phenomena. Or has the house drawn at least one of them to it? The answer will unnerve you in this elegantly sinister scare movie. (Warner Bros. Home Entertainment)

"The Horror in Connecticut" is definitely not a completely bad horror movie, which surprised me quite a bit because I was expecting something worse. But this is a film that has a frantic pace, especially in the way horror images are portrayed here. And there are indeed plenty of them. From those that are relatively realistic, to some ectoplasms that swirl through the air. The writing on the body is truly disgusting.

Not nearly as bad as I expected and quite a pleasant surprise when compared with the recent and ostentatiously stupid Unborn. The story, of course, is one massive cliché, but I still liked it. The arc with the sick boy helps quite a lot, preventing the film from being as generic as other ghost stories. On the other hand, the film takes itself very seriously, which hurts it in some passages – a bit of a B-movie approach wouldn’t have hurt (but given that the hero is dying of cancer, the creators probably didn’t have balls for that). Average, watchable.
