Gosh, what a film ...

In the story itself, I will not want to go now, that has been done often enough elsewhere herein. Overall, however, this film is constructed internally consistent, what "In A Dark Place" from 1992 is also due to the good presentation of RAY GARTON's book that he declares after (little credible) true experiences of family Snedeker in 1980 wrote. However, there are to this day no evidence of the film in course of voltage reasons dramatically inflated events in Sounthington, Connecticut.

This deficiency is a lack of evidence but typical of spiritualistic activities ... just think of the Exorxismus in the Roman Catholic Church ... In the film, the family called for legal reasons Snedeker, but Campbell ...

The Movie (writer Adam Simon, Tim Metcalfe) keeps the issue forth quite to the presentation and survived not least from the gloomy, but not too dark atmosphere, the relatively rapidly building up suspense, the wise drawn changing some characters and of course the almost perfect sound and background noise, including the precisely composed on the individual scenes towards film music (), which of course just like the excellent direction of Peter CORNWELL a hers contributes both Dolby, as well as in stereo to already mentioned goosebumps.

Though I am not easily frightened, I flinched but sometimes violently and sat glued to the screen ... my better half has preferred after half an hour to go out with the dog, because it was too creepy ...

Virginia Madsen's role as a concerned, mental suffering mother Sara Campbell of difficult cancer, plagued by horror visions Matt, shows once again its strength as a character actress without PHONY pathos.

Kyle Gallner, I for the first time as an actor correctly perceived here, even though I know his name, of course, of various TV series (Cold Case, Law And Order, Criminal Minds) ago, plays the role of Matt, quite inconspicuous, but intensely and if you will believable.

Well done to this point, the Department mask that delivered clean work not only in Matt.

Martin Donovan as Matt's father, I've had better already experienced z. B. in "Insomnia" (2001), the 2006 "The Sentinel" and "Sabotage" (2014). However, its role is also not the largest, but has rather Supporting Actor format ...

Amanda Crew's role is, which like some retreating - I believe - niece Wendy, with Matt understands quite well. In the last third of the film even she is plagued by visions.
The trained (hip-hop) dancer who managed their entry into Filmgeschäf on the musical track, fell for the first time in "Final Destination 3" on, made films like "Meltdown - Days Of Destruction," Sex Drive "and turned 2013 alongside Ashton Kutcher in "Jobs", a film about the life of the late Steve Jobs Apple maker. 2006-2007 she played in all episodes of the US series "The Secrets Of Whistler" with.

World Stars with star on the Walk Of Fame in LA will be missed in this movie. But that is not even necessary, because as already written, the film also builds thanks to the Schaupsieler steadily increasing tension on holding until the end.

Whether there's a happy ending or not, I would like for those who have not seen "The Haunting" not reveal .... At the end of dive else undead at my house at ...

Who is looking for excitement and shudder, is the right place for this title ...
