Haunted house adds twist for insomniac experiment in film
By Rob Pazell
Kanson staff writer
The legendary mansion of Hill House sits majestically in the middle of the Berkshire Hills. Its gothic architecture and stunning sculptures decorate this aged beauty, which sits nine miles away from the nearest town. Inside this beauty, however, hides a beast and a gripping history that waits for its next unwary visitors. Eleanor Vance and her group of guests come to learn its story the hard way in The Haunting; a visually throttling remake of the 1963 horror classic, the Legend of Hill House.
Starring a stellar cast including Oscar-winner Liam Neeson, The Haunting takes you through a chilling ride complete with ghostly whispers, violent raps and terrifying objects that come to life.
The story finds Eleanor Vance, played by Lili Taylor, a depressed insomnia still bothered by the death of her mother, joins a test group conducted by Dr. David Marrow, portrayed by Neeson. Marrow takes Vance and the other members of her group, a narcissistic woman and a wiser cracking blonde man, to the haunted halls of Hill House to conduct an insomnia experiment. Vance, directed by a supernatural force, pieces clues together to learn the true story of the house and its deceased owner, who may not have decided to leave his house yet.
As Vance and others learn the true force in the house, it's difficult to sit still every time someone is left alone. Supernatural occurrences become
more frequent leading up to a thunderous climax, a showdown between Vance and the horrifying presence.
Foreshadowing plays a major role and may just be the best attribute of the storyline. We are taken through rooms filled with sculptures ranging from laughing children to monstrous birds — some of which give the unsure feeling that they will be alive later.
The movie's comical wisecracks and Vance's interesting companions balances out the heart-pounding scare scenes. Theo, portrayed by the sexy Catherine Zeta-Jones, suffers from not only insomnia but extreme narcissism, driving her to do a different outfit in every scene. Her bisexual references and funny little passes directed at Vance provide a '90s twist. Smart guy Luke Sanderson, played by Owen Wilson, tags on many cynical one-liners, which the house definitely doesn't approve of
Commentary
The visual effects deserve an A+ Statues come to life, and, at times, whole rooms molding into one shape puts it up into the visually fear-inducing class of Poltergeist and The Amityville Horror, two other classic haunted house flocks.
The Haunting may not be a movie that could drive you to nightmares, but stunning effects, a classic story, and — did I mention freaky status? — will give you the satisfaction of seeing it in a theater.
