This movie scared the shit out of me when i was 9 but im not 9 anymore and now i see what it truly is and that is a piece of shit, sorry folks but it is a big stinkin pile of shit. I haven't seen the remake but I know for sure that it has to be better.

a true story, and damn scary.

I saw nothing wrong with this movie, it was awesome and the fact that it was a true story made it even better!

i have to give it credit, since this was one of the first scary movies i saw, and at the time (when i was 8) it scared the crap out of me. but in hindsight, the acting is terrible and it pales in comparison to the book.

Loved the whole thing

Cheeeesy, lame and overlong.
The priest and detective storylines should've been taken out.
Ugh, some annoying performances! I was pretty proud of James Brolin though. Margot Kidder sort of.
The music is UNscary.

i love the idea of a haunted house and they captured the setting perfectly...

This one was boring as hell! I can't see why anyone would like this one as much as the remake.I'm sorry but just because its the "original" don't mean its better! Face it people platinum dunes can out do a remake better than a original!

I think its so funny that the remake is 5 times better than this boring ass movie.

Good scary bits, more true to the orginal story.


Posted By: randomrick at 9:25pm, March 13, 2009

i dont care if its slow or not this is a great flick and can be scary at times...get out!

This movie has a special place in my heart. It's the film that gave me my first real nightmare as a kid. My first horror movie that I remember seeing as a child too. One of the most iconic structures in horror, along with the Bates house (Psycho)!!!! Grab some p-corn & give it a look, but try not to scare Jodie !!!!

I loved this movie. Classic.


Posted By: whitewire at 8:16pm, December 29, 2008

Cool idea and cool plot, but failed execution. I just found the movie boring. I enjoyed the 2005 remake much more.


Posted By: Turk3102 at 4:54pm, December 1, 2008

Bad quality, but cool plot. James Brolin's beard could've won an oscar, but that's about it.


Posted By: sicbitch at 12:26am, October 24, 2008

Pretty good movie ...too bad it was a Hoax


Posted By: Ed Gein at 9:16pm, October 23, 2008

Badly-made garbage.


Posted By: Stupid-Eyed at 12:49pm, October 12, 2008

One of the true classic horror films. If you're a fan of horror films and haven't watched this you have to.

im borderline with this film, there are some things about this movie i really loved alot, and then there was some things i hated, so ill probably give this a 5 rating.



Posted By: madkins42 at 8:27pm, July 3, 2008

Awesome!! Gotta love the Brolin.


Posted By: stew5150 at 12:06pm, July 1, 2008

This film actually can fall into 3 categories. Hate it, love it or tolerate it. I fall in the tolerate it category. There are som really cool things about this flick that were very creepy. Mainly the films music and the look of the house. But, the acting is awful, even for the great Rod Steiger! And it never really flows like a movie should. The book scared the bejesus out of me more than the movie. But for all of it's little quirks it does have that classic horror movie feel and has a soft spot in my collection.

ONE OF MY FAVS!! deff. a classic, must see movie!! Not to mention its based of of a true story!!! which in my opinion makes it that much more intense!



Posted By: QueenOfHalloween at 1:06pm, March 19, 2008

Really good, a must for horror fans!
