The DVD says:

"It was an evil house from the beginning, a house that was born bad." The place is the 90-year-old mansion called Hill House. No one lives there. Or so it seems. But please do come in. Because even if you don't believe in ghosts, there's no denying the terror of "The Haunting." Robert Wise returned to psychological horror for this much admired, first screen adaptation of Shirley Jackson's "The Haunting of Hill House." Four people come to the house to study its supernatural phenomena. Or has the house drawn at least one of them to it? The answer will unnerve you in this "elegantly sinister scare movie. It's good fun" (Pauline Kael, "5001 Nights at the Movies").

My Opinion:

A classic movie is brought into the digital era. Digitally Remastered in Wide Screen, this is how all classic movies should be released. Extremely good for it's time, the film has you on the edge of your seat, even if the body count is very low. Definitely worth a watch. The DVD comes with a commentary which is unusual for a film this age, plus a couple of other small extras.
