In an old New England house believed to be haunted, an ESP researcher enlists the help of two mediums to join the skeptical owner in the hopes they can learn more about the source of the house's evil reputation. From the moment they walk through the door, things take a turn for the worse. Make sure your seat is comfortable because you'll be spending most of this nail-biting movie seated on its edge.

Terrifying! As a lover of scary movies, this is one of the most truly frightening movies I've ever seen. Don't underestimate the power of a psychological thriller! The first time I watched this, I clenched my hands together so tightly that I had trouble untangling my fingers (stiff from squeezing) at the end of the movie. Scary, and it doesn't get less scary on successive viewings.

This movie is totally scary, and I mean TOTALLY. No wonder why its in black and white because that's even more scary due to all the shadows. And since Hill House is a Victorian mansion all the angel statues in the house are totally creepy. Anyway you gotta get this movie its horrifying, its creepy and its awesome.

This movie scared the hell out of me when I was a little girl....and it's still just as good now...sometimes a psychological thriller is better than the gore..watch with the lights off and you'll find out
