I saw this movie in tv when I was a kid and have always had a soft spot for it. It's not as good as the original version of "The Haunting", but it's a nice liitle horror movie. Not really scary but enjoyable, nevertheless. It's based on a book by Richard Matheson, a writer of some memorable Twilight Zone episodes (the one about the gremlin on the airplane's wing!).
The plot is pretty standard. Four people go into a famous haunted mansion and one of them wants to exorcise the place. All kind of mayhem happens. The movie has great acting by Pamela Franklin and Roddy McDowall. It also features two pretty intense sexual scenes for a PG movie, which may have been part of the reason I remember it as a kid.
Not the kind of movie I would recommend, but if you have 90 minutes to kill and the movie is on Fox Movie Channel, check it out. It DOES have a cool poster!
