In the 1860s, there was an intriguing case about a man named Crane, a famous manufacturer who died without traces at Bethel. Everyone doubts the cause of his death, which seems to be evil. But 130 years later, Dr. David Marrow is trying to uncover the truth about this controversial issue. The doctor, along with three other students, is planning an adventure in a mysterious house to find what could be the cause of the truth.
To my surprise, I find myself recommending The Haunting on the basis of its locations, its sets, its art direction, its sound design, and the overall splendor of its visuals.
When The Haunting finally limps to its conclusion, you may feel like booing the screen.
