Hi guys, I had seen this film many years and it is my second favourite film by Stephen King after Rose Red.

The Story

The film opens at a nursing home where Paul Edgecomb is having a special power of immortality, this is actually a punishment for him because he executed a black who he was falsely accused of raping a young girl while working at a jail.
Out of his horror story, this is actually a very sad story and I literally cried throughout the entire movie! I also feel sorry for both Paul and John, especially the latter because he did not commit a crime and that he was an African American...

The Haunting

The 1999 version is actually a bastardised version of the novel on which both the original 1963 version is base on, that's why it receive such low ratings from both the critics and fans alike.
In this version, Hugh Crain is the main antagonist and Nell is his descendant. He killed the children once Hill House was completed, and...
