The Haunting ( 1999) ( SPOILERS)

Top five things we learn from The Haunting

# 5

It only takes a couple slightly deranged people to have a real killer party. It's kinda fun to play the how-much-more-psychotic-are-than-me game late at night when there are dead children in the firepit.

# 4

If Catherine Zeta-Jones were dead and fat and deformed she would still be hot. She had these crazy designer boots on the whole time. The costumer must have had some kind of sick obsession because no one in their right mind puts a woman in 5 inch heels and asks her to run all over a giant house for hours. But, of course, most of the house was a back drop, so never mind, I retract my statement.

# 3

Owen Wilson, before the cutting scars, was actually a kind of alright guy. I don't know about the rest of you but every time I see that fucking nose I can't stop wondering what must have happened to it. Maybe Luke took some kind of mallet to it when they were young. Or smashed his head into a brick wall repeatedly. Or maybe he did it on purpose. I can see him now thinking to himself, " The only way a weird-slightly-creepy-but-still-endearing guy like me is gonna get anywhere is if my face is all fucked up." And then promptly shoving his nose in a meat grinder.

# 2

Psychologists are fucked up people. IMagine the type of therapist your therapist needs to get rid of all the trauma they experience from having to listen to all your bullshit whining all the time.

The # 1 most important lesson learned from The Haunting

That girl from Mystic Pizza is REALLY good at acting like a maniac. She's kind of the favorite 90's girl who never made it big like Julia Roberts. Oh, well, she's playing with children from hell now. I'm sure she'll be fine, after all when you have no life to begin with it really isn't all that bad never having one. Stagnation is always nice.
