Review

A star rating of 5 out of 5.

Alan Jones

This is one of the best supernatural chillers ever made. Richard Johnson plays the psychic researcher who brings along two mediums to help him investigate a monstrously haunted mansion steeped in spectral phenomena. All the more effective for keeping its horrors unseen, director Robert Wise's masterful adaptation of Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House is an exercise in invisible terror. All you see are pulsating walls and all you hear are loud pounding noises! Julie Harris shines as the spinster worst affected by the poltergeist events and whose psychological state is cleverly kept in question throughout the tale.
