I'm watching as I type. I will have to rewatch this because I'm too taken by the PQ to the point that it's distracting and can't really follow the story.
I have my OLED tv set to color temperature Warm 2 and gamma 2.4 and every frame is looking like a Kodac photo! Ridiculous! |

The action happening on the screen isn't necessarily what is happening in the story. I wouldn't recommend anyone multitask while watching this particular film. There is too much subtext and symbolism.

Oh I’m sure it could be good, but this particular story has been done so many times and is even getting another adaptation coming early next year starring Mackenzie Davis(I forgot the name).

By the way, Clayton directed a film called My Mother's House with even more spectacular acting from child actors. He had some sort of secret for working with kids. My Mother's House is a really amazing and unique film. It's available from Warner Archive. |

bigshot: You mean Our Mother's House. Splendid movie, featuring another wonderful performance by Pamela Franklin (such a criminally undervalued actor).

Flanagan keeps jumping the shark in his version of The Haunting of Hill House. Like with
the autopsy scene. I watched it through, but he changed the DNA so completely he should have had the integrity to change the title as well. Let his mini-series stand on its own. As it is, he's exploiting "The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson" to sell his own story, not hers. There is something inherently dishonest in this. |

I've been searching for the best ghost story/haunted house movies from the 40's-60's. I heard all the rave applause for this movie and I'm also interested in checking out The Uninvited (1944) as that is apparently the first movie to present ghosts as legitimate threatening entities and not just for comedic effect. I'm also going to check out Dead Of Night (1945) as I heard great things about that one as well. Besides these three movies, what other haunted house/ghost story movies from the 40-60's would you say are the best of the best?
Just wish this was a little cheaper. An almost 5 year old Blu-ray still demanding over $30 is a bit much for me. But, if it's an amazing movie, then I'll do it. Does Criterion's releases ever go on sale? Halloween sale perhaps? |

Obviously wait for the sale, but this movie is damn near worth 30 bucks. One of the most effective and creepy ghost stories you will ever watch. An absolute masterpiece.

Very few movies are worth $30, and The Innocents (which I consider the worst of all the "classic haunted house" films) is no exception, but at the B&N sales price (+ member's discount and an additional coupon), it's fair value.

![]() Couldn't agree more, as it's an effectively creepy haunted house thriller (based on Richard Matheson's "Hell House"). It's also a reminder of just how damn unsettling a film could be back in the '70s and still get away with a PG-rating. Last edited by MJD64; 06-21-2019 at 11:08 AM. |
