Audiences
justifiably hooted at this ludicrous, FX-heavy remake
of the beautifully understated, and scary, 1963 classic,
directed by Robert
Wise.
A great location, though. 'Hill House' for the nineties
is the gorgeously over-the-top Harlaxton
Manor, an astonishing neo-Elizabethan folly
which was home to mad Lord Peter
OíToole in Peter
Medak's film of Peter Barnes's pitch black satire
The Ruling Class.
Three miles from Grantham
on the A607 in Lincolnshire, itís now Harlaxton College,
the British Campus of the University of Evansville,
Indiana.
The car-port entrance was added for the movie and the
bizarre interiors – nothing like the real Harlaxton
– were created on soundstages in the US.
The Billiard Room, however, is Harlaxtonís Great Hall.
The kitchen scenes used Belvoir Castle, home of the Duke of Rutland, about
seven miles from Grantham, previously featureed in Barry
Levinson's Young Sherlock
Holmes. It's pronounced 'Beaver'. Stop sniggering at the back.
