the haunting . a remake and of course . the original be a creepy psychological thriller and and one that have improve with time . compare to this 1999 remake and it a classic . there be no character development here and only caricature ( the slut and the authoritative brain and the i be gon na get u outta here fellow and the oh so sensitive bookworm ) . but and see a how the be bank on the special effect be the star and i guess character that you can empathize with be a secondary concern . unfortunately and the effect be laughable . mew cherub and stretchy door and irritate dead child that can not speak plainly . and an idiotically sappy end that do it darnedest to give you a new age enema of butterfly and rainbow . ill take my skittle orally and thank you . bruce dern and i have like you since the cowboy . stop it .
