The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

A young couple buys an old house overlooking the ocean and intend to turn it into a bed and breakfast. Bui shortly after taking possession of the house, weird things start happening - a worker is electrocuted, a bathtub mysteriously overflows, a guest goes missing, and the couple's dog dies. Are these random occurrences? Or, is there something else going on? Obviously, with a name like The Haunting of Seacliff Inn, it's not hard to figure out this mystery.While there were a few moments I enjoyed, the movie has too many problems to overcome to be called good. A predictable script, a very weak ending, very few scares, and a really lame subplot involving marital issues are just a few of the more obvious issues I had with the movie. While most of these can probably be traced to the movie's "Made for TV" origins, they are problems nonetheless. I saw some potential, but the TV limitations on budget, writing, and content were too much.There were, however, a couple of things I liked about The Haunting of Seacliff Inn that keep it from being a disaster in my eyes. First, the cast is at least adequate. While I've seen her do better work, Ally Sheddy is decent enough in the main role. And second, I'm a sucker for a haunted house movie. They're a real weak spot with me. And while this one isn't great, I've got to give the movie a point for trying.

The Haunting of Seacliff Inn (1994)I find this bit silly, a couple who see house that they liked but old lady still there, that night the lady is killed and is found the next day.So they get House that quick and they want to make in a Hotel thing. Few odd thing happen at times but there to far part and that really that effecting at all and it kind of drag in some part of the movie.Which dose make a bit boring at times and there near the last 15-20 minutes thing start to kick off again and They tried to turn a very slow movie in to a very pace movie for few minutes,which I Don't think flowed that well with the rest of the movie at allIt was not that scary or creepy at all, it was Ghost story one or two spooky moment that really.3 out of 10

For a PG rated film made for television this is spooky and very chilling movie. A couple of yuppies want to move away from the rat race and open an inn,bed and breakfast to us English.They find the perfect house but it has a problem,there is an old lady living there.The old lady suddenly dies mysteriously and so they buy the house. At the start of the film when the old lady's radio and TV turn on mysteriously ,you get the feeling that something or someone also occupies the old house. The couple,Ally Sheedy and William R Moses,move in and start renovating the house quite happily and then things start to happen.An electrician,working on the house gets electrocuted,log fires start to go out suddenly and they encounter an evil black dog.Add to this mixture an attractive lodger who vanishes and a wind blowing in the attic during an intimate moment and you have the makings of a classic ghost story. The thing i really liked about this film were the camera angles and long distance shots that give you the feeling that you are seeing things through the eyes of the entity. This film did have a few potholes .The biggest one being that you never find out why the lodger suddenly appeared then vanished and what her purpose for turning up was in the first place. On the spookiness scale I definitely give this film 10/10. Overall I give this film 8/10 due to the fact that I thought the ending was a bit weak. That being said,if you want a film that sends a few chills up your spine and brings you out in goosebumps then take a look at this one.I promise you wont be disappointed.
