From the Vault: The Haunting (1999 Film)

Jan de Bont’s adaptation of Shirley Jackson’s novel bears little
resemblance to the source material, much less the 1963 Robert
Wise film, but with all the talent that worked on the movie it
should have still been a success. Stephen King and Steven
Spielberg both pitched in, but for whatever reason they couldn’t
save the movie from critical disappointment. Stars Catherine Zeta
Jones, Owen Wilson, Liam Neeson, and Lili Taylor are all there,
too, but can they elevate the movie above cheap thrills? Enjoy
