(HORROR) Haunted - 1995 **





'Haunted' is one of those films that looks like it's going to be brilliant. And to be honest if you described the story it would come across like 'The Awakening' which I thought was terrifying. An old house, set in 1920s, ghosts, creepy music - it's pretty much my ideal film. Except it wasn't. It was slow, not in the least bit scary, very odd towards the end and Kate Beckinsale gave a very wooden performance. Saying that, so did Aidan Quinn. She spent the whole film whimpering and quivering and he spent his time giving confused and spaced out glances to everyone he spoke to. I don't really understand the plot. So that was another black mark against it.
