	House on Haunted Hill - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The theatrical trailer promoted the film as The House on Haunted Hill, although all advertising material, and the title on the film itself were simply titled House on Haunted Hill.
		Ennis House, a house designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, is seen during the title sequence as the title "House" in the 1959 film.
		The movie is said to have been inspired by Jennings Mansion in Bennington, Vermont, which currently houses the music department at Bennington College.

	House on Haunted Hill
		If the movie had offered more scenes like that and if it was consistently scary throughout, then it could have proudly stood beside The Blair Witch Project as one of the scariest films of 1999.
		She wants her birthday party to be held at a spooky house that used to be a mental institution, and where nearly everyone was killed off in a fire in 1931.
		It's obvious that the house is haunted, yet the movie tries to dismiss that with the weak murder plot and the assistant pushing all the buttons.

	At-A-Glance Film Reviews: House On Haunted Hill (1999)
		It's unfortunate that there are good qualities of this movie, not the least of which is Geoffrey Rush's fantastic performance and lunatic character, because they're wasted in a truly wretched finished whole.
		House On Haunted Hill makes a subtle miscalculation and tries to scare us not by the unknown but by the unknowable.
		That movie, at the very least, knew that it was cheesy and happily indulged in gimmicky devices in a spirit of fun.

	Horror Movie Review \| House on Haunted Hill (1999) Geoffrey Rush, Famke Janssen
		The best thing "Hill" has going for it is the glossy big-budget Hollywood look that turns the haunted house of the title into another character.
		The house is not actually a house, but an old mental institution for the criminally insane that was closed after a bloody, unspeakable incident years ago.
		"House on Haunted Hill" is certainly not the best of the bunch, but it's not the worst one, either.

	House on Haunted Hill (1999) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
		The House in William Castle's original was a Frank Lloyd Wright house, and it stood out for two reasons: first, it was phenomenally ugly, especially in the manner in which Castle's camera captured it; and second, it seemed the least likely setting for a ghost story that anyone could possibly imagine.
		The new, utterly different House is all verticals, tall and thin and perched atop a cliff overlooking the ocean.
		As the movie goes on, we see the house is full of wicked-looking torture devices, and the door to the room in which Vannacutt was performing a vivisection at the time of the riot is marked "Hygiene".

	House on Haunted Hill (1999) - The Bad Movie Report
		What we know about this modern version is that his grandfather built the House, his father was killed during the renovation, and that he knows far more about the House and it's supernatural denizens than any person should reasonably know.
		How do you expect me to get adolescent boys to see this?" The answer, of course, is that she need look no further than the movie she is in; a large part of the modernization process seems to include a liberal amount of profanity, lots of gore, and some nudity.
		I had intended, before my MTV digression, to address the subject of the Evil that rears its ugly head in the last fifteen minutes of the movie, which is referenced by many as the point at which the movie sinks itself.

		"The House on Haunted Hill" is the latest offering from director William Malone, who had the dubious distinction of writing the unnecessary "Universal Solider: The Return".
		Unfortunately, "The House on Haunted Hill" is yet another movie to be added to the growing list of horror disappointments.
		Overall, "The House on Haunted Hill" is a disappointing effort that focuses too much on the special effects and not enough on the characters.

		Sometimes a generation appreciated a movie for qualities that related to the times, but decades later when another kind of film maker comes along, all those values get scrambled up or left out or misunderstood, so that what results is an insult to the original.
		HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL, a remake of a 1959 low-budget production directed by William Castle and starring Vincent Price, remains faithful to some of the original premise and principal character but then takes off on several flights of fancy, and hence falls somewhere into a fuzzy middle-ground.

	TheMovieBoy Review: House on Haunted Hill (1999)
		While "The Haunting" was more sophisticated, with a superior cast, a budget of around $80-million, and a kid-friendly PG-13 rating, "House on Haunted Hill" is a gory, atmospheric, $20-million, R-rated spookathon.
		The catch, it turns out, is that the house really is being haunted by the maniacal doctor (Jeffrey Combs) who was killed in 1931, and that all five guests are unknowingly related to the five inmates who survived decades before.
		Admittedly, "House on Haunted Hill" has a zinger of a premise, a sort of ghastly rendition of 1993's "Indecent Proposal," in which people were asked if they'd cheat on their spouse for one night, and a million smackers, with Robert Redford.

	Laramie Movie Scope: The House on Haunted Hill
		November 1, 1999 -- The oft-told story of a small group of people caught in a remote place while an unknown killer picks them off one by one is the premise for "The House on Haunted Hill." This has been seen in numerous movies, at least one of which bears the same name.
		It also proves deadly as the guests are locked in the house, unable to escape, while a mysterious killer is on the loose.
		Movies of this horror-slasher genre are so seldom well-made, but are often successful.

		Both Zemeckis and Silver also consider themselves long-time fans of William Castle's HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL and, as such, they decided a remake of that film would be the perfect inaugural motion picture for Dark Castle Entertainment.
		HOUSE moves along at a good pace and the fl and white characters are actually acceptable within that first hour.
		The first hour of the new HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL is a pretty enjoyable affair, primarily due to Geoffrey Rush, Famke Janssen, Chris Kattan and, in his limited appearances, Jeffrey Combs.

		The filmmakers believed that one of the biggest challenges of the film would be to create the horrifically haunted insane asylum, essentially establishing the house as its own character.

		"House on Haunted Hill" is produced by Robert Zemeckis, Joel Silver and Gilbert Adler, and directed by William Malone.

		If you're ever stuck in a haunted insane asylum that looks like a big hood ornament on a cliff, and the lights are faltering, find a random wiring junction out of thousands in the walls of the basement, stick your hand in it and wiggle it around briefly.
		The first "Alien" movie was scary as hell because it started off quietly, establishing a sense of "normal" life on a big spaceship.

	Attack of the 50 Foot DVD: House on Haunted Hill (1999)
		The first of a planned series of remakes of William Castle films, House on Haunted Hill manages to preserve all the plot holes of its predecessor while at the same time introducing holes of its own.
		A fairly good horror movie, though much of the updating seems to consist of adding a bit of nudity, lots of gore and the ever-popular "f word".
		The interactive menus are nicely done, utilizing sets from the movie, and various motifs such as racing shadows and blood dripping from the ceiling, as in the original movie - not to mention some creepy damn sound effects.

		The action is centered in pretty much two rooms, as the scared inhabitants (who have obviously never seen a haunted house movie) make one wrong turn after another, ending up in the same rooms again and again.
		Since the movie is a newer release, the scratches and dust that can be found in print transfers of some older movies are virtually absent.
		Still, the movie manages to be fun and scary at times, and if you can really put your suspension of disbelief to work, it's not a bad night in front of the television.

		After seeing a few spots for 'House on Haunted Hill' on both the big screen and small, I thought that this would be a good movie.
		I was hoping it would be able to add the extra gore and scariness that The Haunting lacked, but unfortunately, 'Haunted Hill' contains a flimsy plot with five of the stupidest people in the world all competing for $1,000,000 prizes if they can survive until the morning.
		I don't know how this movie got made. Following close on the heels of 'Haunting,' with an almost identical plot, 'Haunted Hill' fails miserably. By combining an unimaginative plot with a storyline full of holes, the movie just rambles on and on with no real purpose or direction. When Mr.

		On the sucks-smelly-ass-scale, Haunted Hill is a masterpiece compared to almost anything starring Robin Williams.
		The house of the title is actually a massive old psychiatric facility that has been closed since its sadistic and insane director and all its violent patients burned to death in the thirties.
		The rest of the cast quickly discovers that the house really is haunted by the ghost of Dr. Vannacutt (Jeffrey Combs), the insane director, and he's a brutal fuck.

	House on Haunted Hill (1999) Movie Review by Paul Balderas at The Movie Insider
		The movie just takes a complete turn for the worse here, as they decide to take a little trip to the basement (which happens to be a labyrinth of concrete) and try to override the system.
		The movie dishes out several, common, cliché scenes without, including several solo journeys into the dark regions of the haunted asylum and opening doors that should be kept shut.
		A movie that was so witty, so effective, it almost strayed from the laid path of nineties horror movies, but then in stopped dead in it’s tracks.

	DVD Review: House On Haunted Hill(1999)
		"The House On Haunted Hill" may not be high art, but it certainly delivers much stronger scares and more entertainment, thanks in a large part to the production design.
		Where "The Haunting" took place in a beautiful, yet moody old house, "The House On Haunted Hill" takes place in a dark, intensely creepy version full of shadows and darkness.
		SOUND: "The House On Haunted Hill" contains an incredibly agressive sound mix that, while almost constantly active, never distracted me - I found it always to be very effective in either going forward with the creepy mood or scaring the viewer.

	House on Haunted Hill (1999)
		First up was the remake of The Haunting (1999), and this was followed variously by the amazing successes of The Blair Witch Project (1999) and The Sixth Sense (1999), as well as the likes of Stigmata (1999), Stir of Echoes (1999) and Tim Burton's Sleepy Hollow (1999).
		Perhaps the film's biggest departure over the original is that it is no longer a haunted house thriller wherein the supernatural was revealed to be of purely mundane origin at the end.
		This allows Malone to quite adeptly play a haunted house carnival ride game dallying between whether what is going on is a real haunting, faked as part of the birthday party or a murder mystery plot.

		The film begins during the house's years as a mental institution for the criminally insane, as Dr. Vannacutt is performing experiments on his patients as a way of eliminating them.
		When they arrive at the house, they discover that the guests are not the ones they invited, and both of them deny inviting the people present.

	Review: House on Haunted Hill (1999)
		Of course, since this is 1999 and horror movies try to avoid being called "understated", this version is also very loud, very gory, and chock full of special effects.
		I have always gotten House on Haunted Hill mixed up with The Haunting of Hill House (the book upon which The Haunting was based), probably because both titles use basically the same words.
		In the original House on Haunted Hill, the birthday party is an elaborate cover-up for a hopelessly convoluted murder plan.
