Review:
Yikes! Now I don't know much about haunted house movies, but I know what I like, and this wasn't it. In fact this was one of those movies that I felt was going to pick up sometime....and then it never did. The idea is that Hill House is the setting for a sleep deprivation study that three people have chosen to participate. Of course the house starts misbehaving and soon the group learns they've been invited to this house for an entirely different and less interesting purpose. Really the story is totally alright (let's not blame the story), but this particular film is extraordinarily boring, and non-frightening. Even this Hill House isn't creepy! Definitely one of the weaker remakes that came out around this time sadly.
