Great performance by Julie Harris. Good visuals, good storytelling. Unfortunately I was a little drowsy watching it.

The photograph and its choice of angles is very innovative for its time. In addition, there is an interesting psychological undertone in the film that is told in a creative way. The director moves perfectly between ghost histories and what actually goes on in one's head, leaving room for interpretation from us as viewers. A well-written and well-played film worthy of its good reputation.

Interesting characters, good camerawork. The internal monologue ruined the realism a bit but other than that an enjoyable film.

The fantastic set design and some creepy atmosphere bring to life this "haunted house" ghost story/psychological drama. Although, despite appreciating some of the film's moments of creepy tension, unfortunately the movie's subtle ghost story isn't really something that frightens me exactly. Additionally the grating nature of "Eleanor", as well as aspects of the other characters, kind of lessened my enjoyment in facets of the psychological drama too. A mildly spooky classic still worth the watch.

Well-made and pretty effective. I wasn’t crazy about the voice over, and it’s a rather slow film, but Wise’s direction and the good performances carry it over the finish line.

Probably the definitive haunted house movie. Like its cinematic sibling "The Innocents", it gets a lot of mileage out of its mentally unstable protagonist and the ambiguous nature of its ghosts. Smart, beautiful to look at, and chilling.

I had high expectations for this one, and that probably hurt it a little for me. Still, a very good haunted house movie with great lighting and an overall very creepy vibe. It is light on the scares however.

The film is pretty good but it can't convince or affect me since I don't believe in supernatural bullshit. I would enjoy it more if it didn't force viewers to believe ghosts are real. Because I believe everything is about craziness not ghosts...

The Haunting is nothing short of brilliant film making. The story leave just enough ambiguous to be far more interesting than modern horror movies. The acting is perfectly in keeping with the times. The camerawork is to a standard that would not be invented for years to come. It balances bombast and subtlety perfectly and exists as one of the scariest movies of all time.

Beautifully shot, with some very effective setting and set design, this veers between a classic haunted house tale and psychological drama. The cast is very good, even if Harris' character may grate from time-to-time. Despite a couple of slow moments, and a bit of hokeyness creeping in, this is atmospheric and creepy, and quite memorable. Recommended.

I've seen scarier movies, but this is genuinely creepy and psychological. It has outstanding cinematography.

Haunting is a great film in the manner that it treats the house as a fundamental element of the movie. It is a desire and dream machine whose "strange" and supernatural acts all correspond to characters' emotional quarrels. Wise takes a Bergmanesque chamber drama & imbues it with stylistic horror w/o de-intellectualizing it. However, the dialogues and motivations of characters seemed too superficial and sketchy to catch up with films masterful form.
