Eleanor “Nell” Vance, an insomniac, has cared for her invalid mother for 11 years, sharing a Boston apartment with her. After her mother dies, Nell’s sister Jane and her husband Lou inherit the residence. They eject Nell to prepare for a sale. As she faces homelessness, Nell accepts an invitation to participate in an insomnia study directed by Dr. David Marrow at Hill House, a secluded manor house in the Berkshires of western Massachusetts. At the house, she meets Mr. and Mrs. Dudley, an eccentric pair of caretakers. Two other participants arrive, Luke Sanderson and the glamorous Theodora (“Theo” for short), along with Dr. Marrow and his two research assistants. Unknown to the participants, Dr. Marrow’s true purpose is to study the psychological response to fear, intending to expose his subjects to increasing amounts of terror. Each night, the caretakers chain the gate outside Hill House, preventing anyone from getting in or out until morning.The Haunting 1999 full Movie Download.
During their first night, Dr. Marrow relates the story of Hill House: Its original owner, Hugh Crain, a 19th-century textile tycoon, constructed the rambling home for his wife Renee, hoping to populate it with a large family. Unfortunately, all of Crain’s children were stillborns, and Renee, devastated by the multiple losses, killed herself before the house was finished. After, Crain became a recluse. When Marrow’s assistant declares that she feels there is more to the story, she is severely wounded in a freak accident and both research assistants leave for the hospital. As the four people stay in the house, supernatural events begin happening. A mysterious force tries to open the door to Theo and Nell’s bedroom, there are banging noises against the walls, and the temperature drops in rooms and hallways. Nell begins seeing the ghosts of children in curtains and sheets and a large portrait of Hugh Crain morphs into a skeletal face, vandalized with the words “Welcome Home Eleanor” written in blood. During a heated argument, Theo and Luke deny any involvement in these events. They accuse Nell, claiming she is seeking attention, which she denies.
