When so many reviewers praise a movie there has to be something that is
deserving of that praise. And I have to admit that there are elements
that make this a solid movie. But overall I was quite disappointed with
this movie. Now I do think it has to do with the fact that this movie
relies on using your own fear and imagination. You could perceive this
movie as scary as you like since this movie gives you room to interpret
matters on different levels. And this is probably it's strength and at
the same time it's downfall. If you are an avid fan of horror movies
than i'll doubt you will find this movie scary or chilling at all.
Because the presented events aren't really original or refreshing.
Casual viewers will be more impressed I think. The mystery itself
wasn't that compelling either. With movies concerning haunted mansions
you know that there is a story behind it and finding out what that
story is part of the fun. This finding out part in the movie wasn't
that interesting in the first place. It also didn't help that George
C.Scott was far too calm and accepting when he was confronted with the
so called scary events. Keep your expectations low with this one.
