movie 12

The Haunting

so obviously i am doing VERY BADLY at watching 50 movies this year... so when this was on tv after the mets game ended, i kept it on and figured even if it was awful it would count toward my 50 so i'd win.  The Haunting was awful.  like AWFUL. now maybe you see why i don't watch many movies, i mean the majority of what i'm reviewing here is like.. awful, awful films.

i was a little surprised to be honest.  the movie is from 1999 but the production was like 1980s.  there were major names in the cast: owen wilson, catherine zeta-jones, liam neeson... i mean, did they READ the script?  did they practice their lines? the dialogue was awful.  the acting was awful.  the plot was... well, awful!

i understand this is a remake of a previous film that may or may not have been good.  i won't be finding out any time soon.. this movie was so bad i used the word "awful" 900 times in this review. please don't watch it. please.
