If you ask me, not as wonderful as its reputation, but certainly a highly enjoyable spook show. I think Julie Harris is too stagy in the role of Eleanor, but Claire Bloom, Richard Johnson and Russ Tamblyn are all in top form and Hill House is a great set. But I think Wise’s direction isn’t as subtle as everyone gives him credit for. I feel like he’s busy shouting in my ear, “Look at me, I’m only hinting at the horrors behind the door!” Still worthy of any horror fans attention, though.
