Since I have already seen the original,superior-by-a-mile 'Haunting' (1963
The entire blame for this miserable excuse of a horror movie can't be placed solely on director,Jan de Bont's,shoulders,even though he did do a royal botch job here.

It's not; The Haunting is a serviceable action/thriller/horror film at best.
The Haunting" is a film that is well worth buying if you can find it for an excellent price; otherwise, it qualifies as a good rental title.

The Haunting" has a great set-up.....unless they decide to make fun of the movie, which is a definite option to consider.....And, finally, the only horror to be present was from hearing the horrifically bad dialogue uttered each time someone would open their mouth.....Well, the action, special effects and "horror" sure do kick in in the final act....subsequently, the 1963 film adaptation, Jan De Bont has unwisely decided.... ...

played by the very capable Lili Taylor, who did Mystic Pizza and Arizona Dreams --....so the film loads up right away with overblown sets (a 15,000-square-foot living room, 19-foot-tall wooden doors portraying devils manning the gates of hell) and zany special effects (I'm ready for my digitalized devils, Mr. De Mille)..... ...

The only good news to be gleaned from ``The Haunting'' is that the filmmakers tried to prove that a good movie could be made with no talent, just technology, and it didn't work.
The script needs to build a mood, not undercut it.
