Product Description
The family has moved in but the ghosts arent moving out. In this bloodcurdling and state-of-the-art remake of the classic 1960 shocker a family discovers that the home theyve inherited from an eccentric uncle is inhabited by sinister phantoms. Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 12/12/2006 Starring: Tony Shalhoub Matthew Lillard Run time: 91 minutes Rating: R Director: Steve Beck

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

I am a fan of this film. Great cast and absolutely great special effects (my favorite depiction of ghosts so far). The premise is a haunted house built by a magus to entrap 13 malevelent ghosts in order to gain everlasting immortality.
Has fun moments as well.

Thirteen Ghosts brings to the screen the story of a down-on-its-luck Greek-American family that inherits a luxurious and highly unusual-looking house built by their deceased uncle. Once there they soon realize that their hopes for a better future may result in no future at all, but a horrible death (or undeath) instead...
Tony Shalhoub, Shannon Elizabeth, Matthew Lillard, and the rest of the cast carry out their performances very well. The story is definitely great, and as for the setting it is excellent! The film combines horror, drama, action, and adventure making it very enjoyable, as long as you're in that kind of a mood.

I cant belive that so many reviewers (especially the most recent) have only given this movie one or two stars. It is a very good modern horror movie that manages to combine horror genres, mainly ghost/spooks and slasher. It has plenty of suspence and is actually quite gorey, which makes a change when compared to most 15 certificate modern horror movies.
The storyline is origional and the effects are very good. The house with the "Th13teen Ghosts" is made almost completely of glass inc. walls, floors, ceilings and it is very technical with all sorts of strange machanical devices for opening and closing certain sections of the house and the movie manages to pull this off very well without making any mistakes or making it look cheesy. This adds to the suspence of the movie. The ghosts themsleves are pretty creepy and about three of them are downright terriying!
Don't listen to bad reviews, give this movie the chance it deserves and you will be please you did.
