If you haven't yet read Marky Waters' review, it would serve you well to do so. He has outlined the problems with movies bearing similar titles and was rather hard on remakes. I read his review and I was amazed at how close his opinions are to mine. "The Legend of Hell House" is a dorky movie that unfortunately attached itself to "The Haunting" based on Shirley Jackson's novel, "Haunting of Hill House". To me, "The Haunting" was and still is, the best ghost movie made. There is nothing more frightening than the unseen. Anyway, "The Legend of Hell House" is worth an evening's viewing. Not particularly scary but it's entertaining in a dated way. However...if you have not had the pleasure of seeing "The Haunting", do yourself a favor. Find it and savor it with the lights out.
