LA MAISON DU DIABLE

Robert Wise Royaume-Uni, 1963
Robert Wise’s production is a traditionally Gothic bit of horror that somehow remains faithful to Jackson’s book while also managing to flatten its surreal ambivalence and literalize much of its interiority, thanks to an overreliance on voiceover and melodramatic performance style.

I didn't show anything. It was just suggestions. There is nothing in it," Wise said. That's essentially true; the closest thing to a special effect is a moment when a door begins to ripple and bend from the force of whatever ghastly spirit is trying to get at the characters. But Wise also said, "I had a marvelous cinematographer." Boulton's camera is what truly creates the spooks.

A famous horror that actually works more like a Tennessee Williams drama, with fey, fragile Julie Harris - still under the thumb of her domineering invalid mom, even from beyond the grave - desperately looking for love, even if it means falling in love with a haunted house.

Robert Wise's 1963 black-and-white ‘Scope translation of Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House was pretty effective when it came out; it may be a little stiff in the joints by now, but it's still a much better scare show than the stinker remake, and clearly aided by Wise's skill as an editor.
