Summary: SCAREFEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: I have been a real fan of scary movies for years and I was begining to think that movie makers had lost the plot! run out of good ideas?At last a film worth buying and watching more than the usual once and putting it back on your shelf! Thir13en Ghosts has it all! from the very beginning to the very end there is never a part of the movie where you are wanting to fast forward to a good bit!!!!!!!!! Ha!Ha!........ And I have done that many many times myself. The atmosphere and an excellent cast make this movie one not to miss! Especially Mathew Lillard a phycic ghost hunter(who also plays Shaggy in Scoobydoo).

Summary: The F/X scared me...
Review: Cyrus Kriticos (F. Murray Abraham) is an adventurer and collector who dies under paranormal circumstances. His nephew Arthur Kriticos (Tony Shalhoub), a recent widower, becomes the heir to his considerable fortune, which includes an amazing house. This wealth emerges in a very suitable moment, since Arthur is struggling financially with two children. However, the house has a terrifying secret that is waiting to be released upon the arriving relatives. Beck uses superb special effects that produce true fear, but they are not balanced with the story leading to an awkward cinematic experience.

Summary: Spooktacular Stuff!
Review: I would say that "Thir13en Ghosts" is a cross between "Cube" and "House On Haunted Hill". The opening 10 minutes of the film is intense, we are introduced to Cyrus Kriticos (F. Murray Abraham), a man who has an obsessive hobby of capturing and torturing disgruntled spirits, aided by an insecure psychic named Dennis Rafkin (Matthew Lillard). The scene then shifts to a drab apartment occupied by Arthur Kriticos (Tony Shalhoub), daughter Kathy (Shannon Elizabeth) son Bobby (Alec Roberts) and baby-sitter Maggie (Rah Digga) ever since a fire demolished their house and Arthur's wife. Things begin to look up when a lawyer (JR Bourne) arrives to inform Arthur that he has inherited his uncle Cyrus' mansion. Arthur and his family decide to travel up to visit the house with lawyer that evening, this is when things start to get a bit weird. It turns out that Cyrus' mansion is made entirely of glass. All of the rooms are transparent and one can see from one side of the house to the other. As they all enter the house, they are accompanied Dennis disguised as a "power guy". They all begin to realise that the house may indeed be a giant glass coffin, as it becomes apparent that all isn't what it seems. Cyrus did in fact detain his angry ghosts in the basement of the glass mansion. The characters wander aimlessly around the house looking for a way to escape, and the ghosts are being released from their secure cells one by one, and are a bit peeved. Each ghost is given an individual look and they are certainly creepy and disturbing, and characters can only see them if they wear a pair of "special glasses". The film is full of suspense as the ghosts are released and could attack anyone at anytime. This movie is full of horror, dark humour, twists and a great cast (Matthew Lillard plays a great part). It is clear the cast and crew had a fun time making it. Along with the film, there is a 19-minute feature entitled "Thirteen Ghosts Revealed" which examines the production of the film, the special make-up effects and the visual effects. Here, we are treated to interviews to cast and crew, as well as insights into the designing of the ghosts and the house. The most interesting aspect here is the focus on the make-up effects and the amount of dedication that the actors and crew put forward. Whilst watching the movie "Thirteen Ghosts", most viewers will note that the ghosts themselves are highly detailed, but we never get any background information on them. That is rectified with the "Ghost Files" (another brilliant Special Feature). Here, we get an in-depth biography for each of the ghosts, complete with illustrations and narration by F. Murray Abraham. In all, this is a fantastic movie and I would recommend it to anyone. I rented a copy out Monday and have already bought it! I rarely give films 5 stars, but this is certainly an exception!

Summary: One of the Worse Horror Movies Ever Made
Review: This movie isn't just lousy...anybody with no budget and a couple of drunk buddies can make a lousy horror flick. This movie is INSULTING. Though an obviously large amount of cash was thrown at this project, the dialogue is IDIOTIC at best, the jokes are unfunny, and the premise is ridiculous. You know how frustrating it is to see unbelievably dumb characters say and do unbelievable dumb things in horror flicks? All the while spouting innane one-liners? Well, this movie re-wrote the book on all of that. You'll be BEGGING the monsters to kill these idiots.

Summary: Absolutely HILARIOUS!
Review: I loved the movies 'House on Haunted Hill' and 'The Haunting' because they were soo bad. Thir13een Ghosts is another one of those movies. This movie is pathetic, but very entertaining! No, you will not be scared - instead you'll enjoy the countless plotholes, bad acting and, of course, the very funny ghosts. If your the type of person that enjoys bad movies, you'll undoubtedly enjoy this movie. However, if you're not the type of person that finds humour in pathetic movies - stay clear.

Summary: What a disgrace...Nothing Compared to the older version
Review: Let me start off by saying this has to be to the worst remake of 13 ghosts. first of all the whole movie took place in like a futuristic time period, which was a bad start.the whole house was filled with mirror and portals and stuff. The time period alone was jsut horrible. 2nd of all the movie was not even scary it was just plain stupid. A bunch of people running from these so called ghosts!! the ghosts were really stupid..they a princess ghost, basball bat ghost..i mean Common!!! 3rd of all shannon elizabeth didn;t even get naked!!! She just screamed the whole time.I mean commmon..also the acting was not to hot either. They turned a classic picture into a 91 minute torture. I suggest u buy the classic cuz it comes with visison goggles and it is ten times scarier. This movie is so bad it is not even worth renting. Whatever u do don't watch this disgrace of a remake.

Summary: Not bad but pretty much copied.
Review: The house was excellently done and the ghosts were cool and also done well but it was practicaly a copy of "House On Haunted Hill" which was much better. The acting in this movie is about a C- and is not done very well. This movie is worth seeing but it isnt that good.

Summary: A good horror movie
Review: The reason why I'm giving it 3 out of 5 is because in reality, I'd give it 3.5 but it's not an option here, so I need to give it three since four would be a bit too much. Anyway, I think it's a very well done horror movie and I don't understand why the critics are so fond of picking on it. They say things like it wasn't scary at all, but that's just a sign of them playing it cool - instead, I'm sure they crept under the chair when they were watching it! I think that it's got a good amount of scariness, making you afraid to watch the next scene, but not so much gore as to make it seem almost funny, like Freddy Kruger from ELM Street - that was too obvious they were trying to make it gory. When I watched Thirteen Ghosts, I sometimes couldn't even bear to watch a normal scene because I sensed something terrible is going to happen - that's the aim of horror movies and I don't know why critics ALWAYS find something to criticize. Thirteen Ghosts is about a family which inherits a glass house after their "dead" uncle, but what they don't know is that there are thirteen souls trapped in the basement of the house and as soon as the doors get closed, the clockwork starts working, releasing each ghost one by one... The uncle, Cyrus, wanted the father, Arthur, to be the next victim so that his Black Zodiac of ghosts would be completed, which is needed for the Ocularis Infernum (I think it's called this way) which he wanted to have to have power. So in the movie, the young son Bobby gets lost in the dark corridors of the basement, so everybody is trying to look for him. Fortunately, there is also a psychic which can sense ghosts and in that way is very useful in helping them get together and escape.
If you're not really into horror movies, then it's not going to be your best choice, but even I'm not so crazy about horror movies and I think this one was really good. If you want to get some adrenaline into your blood and get scared out of your wits, then go for this movie - it's going to leave you wanting more, searching Thirteen Ghosts websites (by the way I know a really COOL Thirteen Ghosts website, much better than the official site - go check it out, it's called thir13en_website.tripod.com - then go to the main page by clicking "go" and you'll find everything you need there) - so I recommend this movie to people who want to get scared out of their wits, or for horror-movie fans who seek some decent gore and a bit of a suspense. Check it out definitely!!!
