An average movie

Obviously, I wasn't expecting much from this flick but since Nick, my step-son, loves ghosts flicks I thought we might as well give it a try. Basically, at the end of the 90's, they thought it would be a good idea to remake those old classics like 'Dracula' which was directed by Francis Ford Coppola or 'Frankenstein' by Kenneth Brannagh which were both not bad but they also produced some terrible remakes like 'The Haunting', 'House on Haunted Hill' and this flick. Indeed, it was terribly weak. First, you get this really convoluted and messy introduction and soon the characters were stuck in this weird house for some rather dubious reasons but there wasn't a single moment during which it became slightly compelling. Sure, the house was visually interesting but it was just some elaborate set-design, in fact, it was so elaborate that there was no connection left with the real world and therefore, it was not really convincing. Even those 12 ghosts who did look rather nasty were actually rather underwhelming. To conclude, I think I'm being quite generous with my rating here, it is just a really weak horror flick and I don't think it is really worth a look, even if you love the genre.

5/10
