	Review: The House of the Spirits
		The House of the Spirits is driven by its complex and many-faceted plot, not by the characters that populate the film.
		However, in the case of The House of the Spirits, which is a worthy effort as it stands, certain alterations (not all of which would have been simple to execute) might have transformed this into a devastating film.
		The House of the Spirits spans six decades, beginning in South America in 1926 and ending in the same country during the early 1970s.

	:: rogerebert.com :: The House of the Spirits
		The story told in "The House of the Spirits" is a lusty, passionate Latin melodrama, filled with ghosts, magic, poison and romance.
		"The House of the Spirits" seems like a road production - like a French "Guys and Dolls," an Italian "Three Sisters," a British "Streetcar Named Desire." All of the characters have the right names, all of the necessary events occur, and indeed the very best local actors have been engaged.

	The House of the Spirits VHS
		The House of the Spirits is a generational tale of life among the ruling class in a South American country, as adapted from the Isabel Allende novel, but the political realities coexist very uneasily with the magical realism in this Bille August film.
		I have not seen a film quite as appaling as this one in a long time, I am Chilean and a huge fan of the book "La casa de los espiritos" (The house of the spirits), which is beautifly written, with some of the most truthfull and thoughtfull characters I have come across.
		Ponderous, pandering and dull, THE HOUSE OF THE SPIRITS wastes an amazing cast of great actors on what can only be called a bad couple of hours.

	The House of the Spirits (1993)
		He returned to Clara, who had not spoken for many years, preferring to live in the 'house of the spirits' inside her head.
		Director August has an eye for epic size - the film takes places in opulent cafes, plush houses, big crowds - all designed for maximum widescreen impact.
		And indeed the book would have been better suited as a tv mini-series than as this rather ungainly film.

	Horrordvds.com - The Changeling DVD review
		The Changeling plays out like a lot of other haunted house films with the familiar scenario of a new tenant moving into a seemingly serene home only to discover some terrible things occurred long ago and the wronged spirits are unable to rest.
		The Changeling, one of the most effective haunted house films ever made, has finally made its way to DVD from HBO Home Video.
		It's one of the few films of its nature that is genuinely effective in scaring the pants off the viewer.

	Amazon.co.uk: The Legend of Hell House (REGION 1) (NTSC): DVD
		Overall, while 'The Legend Of Hell House' may seem a little dated when you watch it now, especially in the world of CGI special effects that exists today, however it still manages to be pretty scary, creating tension and suspence through atmosphere and timing.
		Pamela Franklin plays the psychic Florence Tanner who is used by the spirits in the house as a medium and who is also attacked by a killer cat.
		The film is an enjoyable haunted house story with low key performances from Clive Revill (always great), Gayle Hunnicut and Pamela Franklin and a barnstorming performance from Roddy McDowell.

	The Haunted Mansion Movie Review - The Haunted Mansion Movie Trailer - The Boston Globe
		As the ride itself is a pastiche of every ghost-story prop and plotline since campfires were invented, so the movie calls upon the spirits of many, many haunted-house movies past.
		Neither an inspired reimagining nor a painful dud, "Mansion" splits the difference between the two earlier movies: As directed by Rob Minkoff ("Stuart Little"), the film is an efficient, reasonably enjoyable factory product that should scare a 9-year-old just enough and be gone from his or her memory by dinnertime.
		Flush with the success of "Caribbean," Disney has now unleashed "The Haunted Mansion," based on the long-established attractions of the same name at Disneyland and Walt Disney World.

	House On Haunted Hill (1999)
		House On Haunted Hill (1999) is a good example of how modern filmmakers have in general forgotten how to make films and think that a bunch of cool effects will hide the obvious flaws like lack of a creditable plot, mediocre acting and so on.
		This is a fairly dynamic soundtrack as you would expect of a film set in a haunted house, with a wide variety in the levels of dialogue and sound effects as a result of reactions to various situations.
		The original House On Haunted Hill was not one of the greatest films of the horror genre, but this remake barely lives up to the genre name at all.

	ROSE RED! STEPHEN KING FILM INSPIRED BY REAL GHOSTS!
		Although filming could not be done at King’s original choice for a setting, the Winchester House, there was apparently no shortage of ghosts at the house that was eventually chosen to portray Rose Red in the film.
		(Click Here to see the entire story of the Winchester House) During the preparations to shoot Rose Red, King and a crew from the production company actually visited the Winchester House in hopes that they might be able to do the filming at that location.
		We’ll let the viewer and reader judge that for themselves but we do hope that you’ll take note of art once again imitating life in this new take on haunted houses.
