Review of The Haunting

Whenever I decide to watch a horror movie, I always take in consideration the fact that I will probably be disappointed. Thus, when I see a movie such as this one, I am grateful. I like the fact that the movie misleads you until a certain point. I like the fact that the movie treats with respect certain subjects related to faith and beliefs. I like the fact that though this movie brings back clichés and stories that maybe were already told, it always uses an original and renewed point of view. AND, it is frightening, it really is. The acting is superb, the scenery is fantastic, with landscapes Grey and disturbing. If you know a bit about recent Spanish history, you'll discover how this story could actually be based on true facts. And if you know the mountains around Madrid, you'll feel how this atmosphere suits the narration. I warmly recommend this movie, specially if you liked the last Spanish Armada of horror movies. This is, I believe, one of the best.
