Thir13en Ghosts

Thursday, July 1st, 2010

Arthur and his two children, Kathy and Bobby, inherit his Uncle Cyrus’s estate: a glass house that serves as a prison to 12 ghosts. When the family, accompanied by Bobby’s Nanny and an attorney, enter the house they find themselves trapped inside an evil machine “designed by the devil and powered by the dead” to open the Eye of Hell. Aided by Dennis, a ghost hunter, and his rival Kalina, a ghost rights activist out to set the ghosts free, the group must do what they can to get out of the house alive.

Mark’s review:

I liked Thir13en Ghosts a lot, very unusual movie.  I have seen this movie before, but recently saw it again for probably the third time.  Great plot and even better acting with Mathew Lillard (from Hackers and the Scooby Doo movies) and Tony Shalhoub (from TV’s Monk).  The daughter, played by Shanon Elizabeth (from American Pie fame) was great and so were the other actors.  I like a good horror movie with a good plot line, but even more important the characters have to be believable and these were.

Great “date night” movie.  Not so scary that your girlfriend won’t enjoy it, but scary enough that those of us who like that kind of thing can get into it.  Overall the movie was entertaining and fun with some really great acting for a horror flick.  4 out of 5 stars.
