Description:
A family inherits an elegant steel-and-glass mansion from a deceased relative. The catch is that along with the house comes a slew of ghosts that can be seen only through special goggles.
Amazon.com:
Cool sets, gory make-up, and frantic energy are given high priority in this glossy remake of William Castle's 1960 haunted-house chiller. The original boasted its 'Illusion-O' ghost-viewing gimmick, so this remake's producers--as they did with 1999's The House on Haunted Hill--up the ante on Castle's showmanship by spilling ample amounts of blood, guts, and ghoulish glory. The plot's essentially the same: An impoverished family inherits a luxurious haunted mansion, only this time it's an elaborate, maze-like mechanism of glass, gears, and Latin incantations--'designed by the devil and powered by the dead'--with a cellar full of tormented, undead souls. As the family (including Tony Shalhoub and American Pie's Shannon Elizabeth) enlists the aid of a psychic (Scream alumnus Matthew Lillard) and a ghostbusting paranormal (Embeth Davidtz), this updated 13 Ghosts grows loud and ludicrous, trading shocks for yuks and nuance for nonsense. It's fun, to a point, after which it's just exhausting. --Jeff Shannon

Average Rating: 
Rating: - Not amazing
The disk was fine and the case was OK but it was sent to me with a sticker directly on the cardboard of the case which left sticky residue behind when I took it off. The shipping was not as fast as I would've liked but overall it wasn't bad, but not amazing service.
Rating:  - Great
We've looked all over for this movie. My son likes it. It arrived in good time and in great condition!
Rating:  - Worth It
This movie relies more on shock value and effect than suspense and dread in order to build the atmosphere of a horror movie. Admittedly, it is kind of a cheesy movie. But, if you are just looking at it in terms of entertainment value I believe it is worth it (especially at a bargain price). The effects are well done. The acting probably could have been better and the story is just okay. Still, I would recommend it. Just don't expect to be scared.
Rating: - Steve Beck Remakes another movie, leaving out the good parts
So he already destroyed one of the greatest haunted house movies of all time "House on Haunted Hill". I was already upset that once again Steve Beck (The Director) was remaking another movie. How about we come up with something new here. Well needless to say I went into this film with no expectations what so ever, which turned out to be a good thing.
The best scene of the film comes right at the beginning (So wait to get your popcorn until later into the film, just don't miss the opening) We begin in a Junkyard full of dangerous looking metal and sharply twisted vehicles. Here we meet Matthew Lillard as Rafkin (I know most of you hate him but I find him quite funny) a pill popping psychic who is one step from losing his last grasp of reality. He steps is in this god forsaken junkyard with F. Murray Abraham (Uncle Cyrus) an instantly dislikable character (Which means he's the bad guy) and about 50 other random people in bio suits. After the opening scene (which ii quite bloody and rather interesting) We discover that they are a bunch of Ghost Trappers and this is the 12th ghost they have trapped in one of these lovely glass boxes with writing all over it.
End of really cool beginning (Go get popcorn now)
Now we segue into a family scene, Tony Shalhaub plays Arthur the loving father of two, Shannon Elizabeth as Kathy, and Alec Roberts as Bobby. They are a poor family that has lost their mother. They have creditors calling but amazingly can afford to pay Maggie ... Read More
Rating: - Love this Movie.
I love this movie. The ghosts are just so cool. Slow movement is awesome.
Anyway overall it is a good scary movie. Plus I love the black girl in it. She is so funny.
