The Haunting (Original vs. Remake)

The Haunting


Original
Remake
1963
1999
Actors: Julie Harris, Claire Bloom &
Richard Johnson
Actors: Liam Neeson, Owen Wilson & Lili Taylor
Director: Robert Wise
Director: Jan de Bont
Run Time: 1hour 54 minutes
Run Time: 1hour 53 Minutes
While you don't actually see any ghosts in this version, all the lighting, sound effects make this a scary film with brilliant camera work.
The special effects on this film had their hands full with this one. The practical and cgi effects were near perfect in this version of the film.
Review:
Both Julie Harris and Lili Taylor played the lead female character brilliantly. Casting on all accounts was outstanding. While the original was more so of the book the films were bases on than the remake. The remake is a visual movie while the original was more of a psychological movie. Both are good in their own rights.
