Haunted (Full Screen) description Professor David Ash (Aidan Quinn) is skeptical of the supernatural, yet he is invited by elderly Nanny Tess Webb (Anna Massey) to investigate paranormal goings-on at her country estate. When Ash arrives, he meets her three adult children (Kate Beckinsale among them, who becomes his future love interest) and the family doctor (John Gielgud), all of whom deny anything is going on and claim that Nanny Tess is merely hallucinating. Yet after spending some time there, the professor begins experiencing unexplainable visions that only Nanny Tess, and often only he, sees. Furthermore the ghost of his sister, who died as a child in a drowning accident, begins to roam the estate. Is he imagining it and going mad? Or is the house truly haunted? Adapted by Tim Prager from the James Herbert novel, Lewis Gilbert's highly memorable film is a brilliant haunted-house tale with chilling scenes and an exceptional plot twist. --Bryan Reesman |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | An under-rated horror movie! |
| Yes, this is definitely one of the under-rated horror gems that is not your typical gorefest that is so characteristic of horror movies these days. A thrilling, subtle adaptation of James Herbert's novel - Aidan Quinn plays David Ash, a debunker of supernatural phenomena. David himself had a tragic incident in his life, losing a beloved twin sister when they were both very young.
At the behest of an old lady who previously worked as a nanny in an old country manor in the English countryside, Davod goes there to help her resolve the question of whether or not there are spirits haunting the manor.The strange happenings lead him to doubt first his own skepticism, and eventually his sanity. Things get further complicated when David finds himself falling for Christina [an alluring and enigmatic Kate Beckinsale] who is a member of the family that owns the house. Christina's and David's mutual attraction to each other face the disapproval of Christina's brothers, especially the older brother [played by Anthony Andrews]. David also finds himself being haunted by visions of a young girl who looks very much like his deceased sister. Is he really seeing supernatural entities or is he going mad? This is a first-rate supernatural thriller that has some genuine jump in your seat moments, and a credibly eerie atmosphere. Highly recommended! |
