An undeniably effective adaptation of the Shirley Jackson novel and remains one of the best haunted-house movies.

...one of the most fascinating aspects of The Haunting is the multiple interpretations available for many events, which might be supernatural, or might be the product of a disturbed mind or distorted perceptions.

What makes the film so effective is not so much the slightly sinister characterisation of the generally neurotic group, but the fact that [director] Wise makes the house itself the central character, a beautifully designed and highly atmospheric entity.

Properly creepy, unlike like the dodgy remake.

The horror remains admirably attuned to the sense of solitude in a premature spinster

Borderline perfect... Strip away all of its frightening elements, and the film remains a sophisticated, complex, and tremendously subtle character study.

The artful cinematic strokes of director Robert Wise and staff are not quite enough to override the major shortcomings of Nelson Gidding's screenplay.

A dark brooding atmosphere, disturbing psychological insights and a handful of suddenly executed surprises make this old horror as fresh and vital as the day it was made.

Pretty effective when it came out; it may be a little stiff in the joints by now, but it's still a much better scare show than the recent stinker remake.

Makes more goose pimples than sense.

People stare about in terror and squeak: 'The house, it's alive!' The picture, it's dead.

This is one of the best supernatural chillers ever made.
