In the 1860's, industrialist Hugh Crain financed the construction of Hill House, a beautiful but forbidding mansion where Crain hoped to house a wife and children. However, Crain died an unexplained death at Hill House, and ever since tales have circulated that the mansion is haunted by evil spirits. 130 years later, Dr. David Marrow (Liam Neeson), long fascinated by the Hill House legend, brings three people there for what he tells them will be a study in sleep disorders. Theo (Catherine Zeta-Jones) is outwardly brave, but it soon becomes evident that Hill House's sinister reputation has her on edge. Luke (Owen Wilson) quickly finds himself wondering: if this is really about studying sleep, why bring everyone to a haunted house? And Nell (Lili Taylor) finds herself inexplicably drawn to the mansion, with a fascination that soon bears terrifying fruit as the true story of Hill House is revealed. The Haunting was directed by Jan de Bont; the screenplay was written by David Self and based on Shirley Jackson's novel The Haunting Of Hill House, which was also the basis for Robert Wise's 1963 film The Haunting, widely regarded as one of the screen's finest ghost stories.

I am not a big fan of the 1963 horror classic, The Haunting, but I LOVE this spooky 1999 remake, an adaptation of the very same book, The Haunting of Hill House, by Shirley Jackson! Nell thought it would be a good idea to take Dr. Marrow, a psychologist, up on his offer to join him and a couple of others, Theo and Luke, at the abandoned mansion known as Hill House for a weekend as an experiment on insomnia because she thought it could help her cure hers. But she and his other subjects had no idea that the house was haunted by a tragic, frightening history. But Nell would soon learn the truth in the most terrifying way possible as the ghosts of the past visited her, leading her to slowly learn the chilling details of the history of Hill House. As she desperately tries to hold on to her sanity while trying to help the restless spirits, she and the others will soon experience the wrath of the one evil ghost to haunt Hill House, plunging them all into a horrifying struggle for survival! With spooky special effects, an eerily beautiful and creepy setting, excellent storytelling from director Jan De Bont and the writers, and great performances from the cast, including Liam Neeson, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luke Wilson, and Lili Taylor, The Haunting is the perfect haunted house fright-fest for movie buffs and horror fans looking for a powerful, haunting ghost story!
