Thirteen Ghosts
Hey i just saw this film the other week and i thought it was cool. Looking at film reviews of this everyone said it stank, but i yet again defy the critics and liked it! The film has an expensive look to it and has quality special effects and is also quite funny. Made by the same people who did House On Haunted Hill (it shows) this is a horror film (surprise, surprise) set in a haunted house. Cyrus a ghost hunter is killed during a hunt at a junk yard, in his will he leaves his house to his nephew . What the midlle aged nephew doesn't know is that all the ghosts Cyrus caught are all stored in the house basement. While visiting the house with his kids Cyrus's greedy lawyer attempts to steal some of Cyrus's possesions, but instead accidently releases the ghosts and seals the exits to the house up (as you do), as well as this the nephews kids dissapear, so with the aid of a psychic man also there (the loony killer from Scream 1) he has trys to find his children and escape the house. The film features some cool deaths, with someone getting sliced into 2 by an automatic door my favrioute. The 13 ghosts are all individuals and not the stereotypical spirits seen in films such as the Haunting and Um..the nightmare before christmas. Overall a cool original film which is let down a bit by some unlikable good guys (such as the nephew, his son and the sons babysitte, in fact all but one of the main characters are annoyingr) so 6.5/10. |
