The Haunting of Seacliff Inn
I first saw this film on BBC1, UK in 1996. It was very late at night which was the right setting for this lovely film. The story makes the viewer confused and bewildered as to why all these strange things are happening during the day and night! The scariest part is when this strange wolf-like dog constantly appearing. But I must admit, that the ending is quite sexy and sad, when this dashing cad comes out of time and sweeps the lady in present time off her feet.
I would watch out for the fire scenes where hell takes the evil souls to rest. Enjoy the film.

Just plain fun
This is just a "fun" ghost story not to be analyzed to death so go and watch it on a rainy Sunday afternoon with the lights low and just enjoy.

the female ghost in this movie is one of the most lovely women ever to walk the face of earth.

I SAW THIS MOVIE ON TV
AND I THOUGHT IT WAS A WELL DONE MOVIE. IT STARS ALLY SHEEHY AND WILLIAM MOSES AS A MARRIED COUPLE WHO FIND A TOTALLY AWESOME HOUSE AND BUY IT. WHAT THEY DON'T KNOW IS THAT THERE IS A MYSTERIOUS WOMAN WHO COMES AND STAYS WITH THEM AND HAS A PREVIOUS CONNECTION TO THE HOUSE, AND IT'S NOT A VERY GOOD ONE EITHER.

IT IS MORE ON THE LINES OF A THRILLER THAN AN ACTUAL HORROR FILM. STILL IT'S WELL DONE AND A GREAT CAST AND A GOOD MOVIE TO WATCH ON A RAINY DAY OR ON A NIGHT WITH THE LIGHTS OUT AND A VERY VERY BIG BOWL OF POPCORN.

Hauntingly Entertaining!
This movie is a scary movie. Watch this movie at night with all the lights turned off while you eat a bowl full of popcorn and you won't be disappointed. ... Read more

NOT A BAD LITTLE THRILLER!!
In this nice little thriller, the rich wife of a cheating husband hires a thug duo to kill the babysitter, who is pregnant with the hubby's child. The thugs decide to hold their 5 year old boy for ransom too and collect diamonds along with their hit money. Problem is, they've gone to the wrong condo, killed the wrong woman, and now have to deal with the real babysitter out to protect both boys. Suspenseful and not cheesy like some 'babysitter' killer movies, this one portrays the pretty blonde babysitter (played by cute Josie Bissett) as a likeable medical student with a lot of common sense and guts!!! The only thing I didn't like about the movie was that by the end, I was ready to kill the annoying 5 year old boy myself!!! Rated R for some violence, this must have been a made-for-cable movie, and should've been rated PG-13.

Misleading.
Disappearance looked good on the shelf at the video rental store. Disappearance looked pretty good for the first 15 minutes. Somewhere along the way, Disappearance started to disappear.

The acting delivered by Harry Hamlin, Susan Dey, and Jeremy Lelliot is solid. Jeremy did an especially good job. His character took charge in certain scenes. The photography and sets were good, very authentic and believable.

The unseen, unknown "stalkers" were a part of the problem. They are never seen and we are asked to believe that they might be a cloud of dust. They breathe heavy and are apparently color blind, or perhaps possess a built in night vision.

Lastly, the movie ends terribly. We're all so used to a happy ending that this one really disappoints. Perhaps a little credit is due for a unique although disappointing ending.

Entertaining, but don't set all of your evenings entertainment hopes on this one.

I WISH I COULD HAVE GONE TO SLEEP
I just saw Disappearance with Harry Hamlin and Susan Dey. That is 91 minuets of my life I will never ever get back and I fear God will comdemn me to hell for wasting those precious minuets.I thank God I got this thing at the library for FREE......even then the price was to high. This movie had no plot, no logic and no ending. When my TV screen went black, I sat on my sofa with my mouth open and the little man in my brain was screaming....."What the hell just happened"?!I'm not going to wast our time telling you any more about this movie...but I will tell you one thing. If you see this DVD at the video store or at Wallmart for sale....RUN! Run like hell! At least the sprint will be more exciting.

Scary ? Huh ?
When I watched this movie I really felt like I was watching some friends low budget schoolproject. I could never take the movie seriously enough to enjoy it fully.
Rotten ending and did anyone say that this movie was scary ???
Won this DvD from some filmcompany and sold it off on Ebay as fast as I could..dont pay money for this people.

Was this a movie or an ink blot test?
I could say many good things about this move--I enjoyed most of it--but it was a "cheat." What I mean by that is the writers seemed to have come up with about a dozen ideas, wrote some dialog around that--then quit!

A movie doesn't have to have a "Hollywood" ending but, once a situation has been set up, it should have some consistent logic to it. In other words, no matter how weird or seemingly impossible a situtation may be (and I can accept everything this movie implied), the consequences should not be ignored.

Example: 20-some families have disappeared in the same area over a period of years. Wouldn't that have drawn LOTS of attention? And wouldn't searchers recognize the missing people who had been "converted" (or whatever.)
Most of the residents acted almost zombi-like. But the sheriff could easily pass for "normal" (even though he obviously was not.)

I could give many other examples. The best movies are those that make one think. But this movie took the lazy approach to that goal. They simply combined some elements of a scary movie, left out TONS of logic then quit--hoping that viewers would somehow connect the proper dots into a good movie.

I should have been paid to watch this! No stars!
Don't let the big names fool you. This is a dud. The great actors had no direction whatsover. There was lots of innuendo and build-up but no climax! The whole thing smacks of a highschool film art project. The director must have made this with his pocket money. The only good thing about this flick is that it eventually does end and go back to the video store, where it should rot on the shelf. I am more forgiving than the average film viewer, I mean I really want to be entertained. I'm not one of those jaded film snobs. But take my warning: The actors shouldn't have accepted this script (bad script, canned lined, very unbelievable)the characters shouldn't have gone into the ghost town (they were warned too, just like I'm warning you) and you shouldn't buy or rent this video. ...
