In Reply to: The Haunting??? posted by Collin on February 02, 2000 at 07:16:27:
No contest between the original and the remake of "The Haunting"; see mine
and other reviews/comments on these films at www.imdb.com. Both available
at Blockbuster Video.
As for Jaws, yes I was 27, but when one has fought off a great white
attack with a surfboard and sheer will-to-live fortitude at age 16, then
the old fears have a way of surfacing when vicariously re-experienced.

...when the corpse with the mangled eye showed through the hole in the bottom of the boat.The last time I was scared by a film was when I saw "Pet Sematary" in a theater. Pretty creepy, even for Stephen King.
I think there's a couple different ways I would label "horror" movies.1. The slasher/monster type, which doesn't really scare me. Some get to be real funny when you think about it. i.e. Friday The 13th, Nightmare On Elm St.
2. The evil spirit/ghost type. i.e. The Exorcist, The Changling, Pet Semetary. This type, when done right can really scare me silly.

Regardless of what people think about Spielberg, Jaws was exceptionally well done. Simple, almost stark, yet very intense with good acting. If you haven't read the book, its excellent too.
