Thirteen Ghosts

This movie is a remake of the 1960 film of the same name by William Castle.  Personally I never saw the original film.  I was quite impressed with the movie.  It was pretty entertaining.  Plus it included one of my favorite actresses from American Pie, Shannon Elizabeth.  Oh yeah!!!

The movie is about a crazy man/ghost hunter named Cyrus Kriticos (F. Murray Abraham) and his assistant Dennis Rafkin (Matthew Lillard) trying to catch a spirit called the Juggernaut in a junkyard.  But in the process of trying to catch the ghost most of the team gets killed including Cyrus.

Arthur (Tony Shalhoub), a mathematician is informed by Cyrus’s lawyer of his death and has told him that he inherited a mansion.  But guess what?  That is where Cyrus has all of the ghosts.

Dennis Rafkin pretends to be an electrician and meets Arthur, his family and the lawyer at the mansion.  Dennis warns Arthur that they need to leave the house because of the spirits and Arthur’s kids get lost in the house.  So Arthur and Dennis search for the kids, but at the same time try to get the heck of the house.

This house was an amazing masterpiece.  It really is cool.  I enjoyed the movie.  Pretty gruesome in some parts.  I would give the movie 8 out of 10 stars.
