    Watch it. Its worth it!!

    I like this movie for it's sheer entertainment value. It's nowhere near being very smart or scary, but a great cast and actually creepy and well done ghosts make this movie pretty entertaining.
    Lillard is always a favorite of mine and yet again plays a good eccentric, crazy char...( read more)acter. Shalhoub and the rest of cast do a good job as well, but the real talent is the group that played the ghosts. They manage to be extremely creepy and most of the time all they do is stand there!
    The story is a nice remake of the original and is defintly more entertaining for a modern audience. Good characters and a decent twist towards the end makes the film watchable.
    The makeup effects are the most impressive though, because the ghosts look amazing and will actually scare most people.
    If your thinking about seeing this movie then don't take it too seriously, but don't think it's a laugh a minute either. It's what a movie should be. Full of entertainment and worth watching a few times.

    "There are ghosts in the basement!"
    "This basement?"
    "Of course this basement! What is it with you people? If it was the basement next door I wouldn't give a s***, would I?"

    Relentlessly stupid and pointless.

    Bad acting as well.
  • November 6, 2009
    Quite good, not really scary.

    As soon as we relised bloody Shaggy and Miss Honey were in it the horror went out the window!
  • November 3, 2009
    The ghosts were amazingly cute in some way.

    Another one of my favorite movies. It is kind of spooky. Yes kind of scary but I have a unique since of humor also. If you listen to the nanny in there you can pick up some funny lines. Also some of the scenes they make fun of like the guy who gets split in half. I wont ruin that...( read more) one check it out. All and all a good movie.

  • September 24, 2009
    Not a very clever story and not a very good film.
  • September 16, 2009
    Wooo... the ghosts are cool and the sequences are as creepy as they should. Good... Obviously it's crap but you know what I mean.

    43/100

    I saw this in my choir class and I loved every second of it!
  • September 15, 2009
    Why re-make films like this when you wont be able to make it better than the original?????
    John Carpenter needs a dam good slapping after sitting through that.
  • September 11, 2009
    John Carpenters worst movie, which is a shame because there are some nice ideas, but the cast is terrible and the plot/script shambolic.
  • September 1, 2009
    Another horror flick that's just a good time. This movie belongs the KNB effects more than it does any of the actors. Sit down and watch the flick, feel an excited glee at the absolutely WONDERFUL makeup effects and creature designs and then consider your 90 minutes well spent. I...( read more)t's an interesting adaption of the William Castle original, and fans of that film will especially get a kick out of the cast's "ghost viewers". It's a fun flick and I can dig it.

    Thirteen Ghosts was a good movie, some of the ghosts were very well done, but Thirteen Ghosts didn't have enough scares or excitement to be considered great.
  • August 23, 2009
    The only entertaining thing on this film are the various ghosts. The acting was pretty hideous. No biggie, though. Except for Lillard, the actors really didn't lose out much. Horrible acting was expected.
  • August 23, 2009
    One of the first thrillers I watched...Oh so many memories.... A MUST-SEE.
  • August 23, 2009
    cool house ... bad movie
  • August 22, 2009
    The Castle cult classic gets a slick update. A family checking out the bizarre house they've inherited soon discover it contains a number of ghosts and other interested parties. This remake takes itself considerably more seriously than it's predecessor but what it leaves out in...( read more) humor and gimmicks it makes up for with scares and visual effects. While by no means an exceptionally scary or remarkable film, it is enjoyable overall for a light movie night.

    Kinda weird but its good.
  • August 18, 2009

  • August 17, 2009

    dont really remeber it but i know i liked it
  • August 3, 2009
    scared the crap out of me when I first saw it
  • August 1, 2009
    After watching this awful movie I literally said to myself, "Well, those are two hours of my life that I will never get back" Just awful, and that is too bad because it is kind of a fun idea. I think I will check out the original.
  • August 1, 2009
    Different but i like it.
  • July 31, 2009
    scared the shit out of me. still pretty haunted about the angry princess!
  • July 31, 2009
    the only thing I remember is the fact I yawned instead of being scared.. bad point for a "horror" movie.. and wasnt even funny.
  • July 24, 2009
    just love any kind of scary movies
  • July 24, 2009
    i love this movie! u have to watch it
  • July 21, 2009
    For a ghost movie, this one has it points. only seeing in my younger teen years, what impressed me about this was; Few of the ghosts that make you want to help half of them while the others you never want to be near in a dark place, the characters that make you want to know who g...( read more)ets out alive and the twist that may surprise you or not. I'd recommend this as a Friday night movie
  • July 19, 2009
    not bad! glad I dont live in a glass house :)
  • July 13, 2009
    I have to much to say about this movie. The Ghost's are just amazing, and the story is so interesting. It's such a good movie, I'd watch it anyday.
  • July 10, 2009
    I'm torn, because it had some amazing visuals, the house and the ghosts were really cool, and it has Matthew Lillard. Unfortunately, the screenplay and acting were ridiculous, comical without being the slightest bit amusing. It seems like it had some potential and there were a fe...( read more)w moments when the scary scenes could've been actually scary, if they didn't come off as too much of a music video for Marilyn Manson or Tool. I really want to see the original because I really like Margaret Hamilton.
  • July 9, 2009
    remake the third time
  • July 7, 2009
    very new brilliant idea but scary
  • July 7, 2009
    It was ok. Not a favorite by far. Creepy and far fetched
  • July 5, 2009
    the editing style ruins the whole film.
  • June 29, 2009
    The movie is creepy and entertaining at the same time. The first scene showing ghost busters I mean capturers were so psychotic at the same time. Why would they catch those ghosts and as the story progresses, I totally understand. I hope the characters [ghosts] were more elaborat...( read more)ed and the sequence of violence and terror is so effective that I almost got scared.
  • June 23, 2009
    It reminded me how horror movies can be absorving and cheesy.That why ? watched untill 3.30 am.But that doesnt change its poor quality.Ghosts werent scary as i though.but it has smart story.i cant denie that.And one thing stucked in my mind:Why the kid isnt dying in the horror mo...( read more)vies.Kill the kid if you want it to be scary.it is just a movie.isnt that right?
  • June 23, 2009
    The general idea, concept and ghosts in this film make it what it is. When you really think about the acting and storyline you start to see some flaws, but how can that maze of a house and the creative ghosts be ignored. It's an enjoyable Horror film with good characters and stor...( read more)yline but it's the concept and general idea of the film that makes it what it is. Overall well worth watching for good Horror fun.
