The Haunting (1999)
Dir: Jan de Bont

A group of volunteers spend the night in Hill House as part of an experiment.
Horrible remake of the classic 60s chiller. The subtlety and atmosphere that made the original so scary is completely forgotten here, instead we have non-existent scares and endless dodgy special effects. The cast are useless and the story has been butchered beyond recognition. An awful mess.
