Summary: NOT YOUR AVERAGE FAMILY MOVIE!!!!!!!!!
Review: Horror movies are the best type of movies. I try to watch every single one. This movie is an ok horror movie. I was kind of hesitant on giving it 5 stars but the gore factor improved the rating. The movie is about a family that is struggling in this small apartment and ends up moving into this glass like house given to them by their late relative. What the late unlce never tells them is that he collected ghosts and with them moving in it bascially unleashes these angry, murderous, gory/grahpic looking ghost. And they are basically trying to escape with their lives throughout the movie. The plot is pretty much not great but the scenes are worth watching over and over again. This movie is non-stop action from beginning to end. Even the intro to the movie was pretty scary. The DVD version has the basic DVD features like commentary and trailers. It also has a feature called a club reel. Overall, I do plan on buying this movie when it comes out, I highly recommend this for horror movie fanatics, and Shannon Elizabeth looks hot in this movie too.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Save your money!
Review: This is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Paper thin plot, bad acting, bad script, bad direction.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Scare you back all the way to the ticket counter...
Review: Scares you back all the way to the ticket counter, to get your money back. Lack of plot and acting skills make the movie a rollercoaster of gore. Not interesting enough to even try to understand what the goal of the movie is. About the only thing holding this movie together is the makeup on the 'traditional' monsters.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Don't buy this movie. Don't even rent it.
Review: This is probably one of the worst horror movies in recent years. Robert Zemekis should be ashamed of himself. The film is edited at such an MTV po-mo fast pace that it never bothers to wonder if its scaring the audience. The script is just bad - not even laughable- and the only scary thing about it is how burned you'll feel for spending ANY amount of money on it. BEWARE!!!!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Great Popcorn Movie
Review: I went in the theatre with high hopes. I watched it. And I left feeling satisfied. This is a great movie, but that isn't to say that it is without its flaws.
First off, this movie is way too similar to the previous movie by Dark Castle Entertainment, House on Haunted Hill. Here are a few examples.

- Both have a slightly (initially) crazed, pessimistic, comic-relief character
who knows the ropes around the house. This was Watson Pritchett in House on
Haunted Hill, and Dennis Rafkin in 13 Ghosts.

- Both have basements. In both versions, when the main characters first go
into the basement, they get a shock. Both have henchmen of the crazy
millionaire who die in the basement (the mantainence guy in House on Haunted
Hill, and the lawyer guy in 13 Ghosts.

- Both start off with music playing as we follow the main characters initial
arrival at the house. (While House on Haunted Hill had a very cool, very
memorable scene with Marilyn Manson's rendition of 'Sweet Dreams are Made of
These', 13 Ghosts unfortunately seems to attempt to capture the spirit of
the previous outing in an almost parody of itself as we hear weird pop music
playing, seemingly slightly out of place.

In my personal opinion, Dark Castle's first film far surpassed the much inferior 13 Ghosts, though I no doubt found myself grinning madly through most of the film. The script seems rather weak and jokes quite lame, but this is no reason to miss the film. Don't go in expecting a Citizen Kane, but do expect a pretty good B-Movie rendition. P.s. They should have given us ghosts viewers.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best Horror Film Ever!!!
Review: Has to be the best horror film ever, the storyline was great and the ghosts were the most grusome and scary I have ever seen.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Pure evil!!
Review: Well the story line it self makes 13 Ghosts worth watching. To think that someone would be evil enough to do harm to a family member. This is a great movie with above avrage special efects. I will not get in to who plays what rolls, if you need that info just click on cast list. Other than that I rank 13 Ghost up with "Rose Red"

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Visually Impressive and Very Entertaining
Review: Since I am writing this before the scheduled release date for the DVD, I'm unable to comment on the DVD's special features or its digital quality and appeal... However, I can assure you that it is well worth the twenty dollars that Amazon.com is charging for it. The movie itself, as you can tell from prior reviews, is an enjoyable horror film which leans more towards a suspense/thriller tone and utilizes a series of wickedly fast-paced "pop-ups" and "boo-scares" to keep the audience on the edge throughout the 90 minutes that it takes for its mediocre plot to unfold. And with that being said, I'll gladly admit that I enjoyed every minute of it, and that I am anxiously anticipating any future releases from Dark Castle Entertainment or director Steve Beck.

"Thir13en Ghosts" was a great deal more than I expected it to be (seeing that I was let down tremendously by how unfrightening "House on Haunted Hill" was). I was almost certain that there would not be a single frightening scene worth my ...admission into the theatre. And I was amazed at how many times I literally dropped my jaw and stared wide-eyed at the screen because of its stellar make-up effects, its stylish and unique production design, its fast pace, and some very convincing performances by Tony Shaloub and Mathew Lillard, who definitely steal the show and make this picture an extremely worthwhile experience.

In conclusion, I'd just like to say that even if this movie were priced ... it would still be worth every penny... I'm waiting with anticipation for the DVD.

Summary: Best Horror Movie I'v Ever Seen
Review: I thought that scream was a horror movie until I quickly and gradually started loathing it as it grew into fifty knock-offs, wannabies and sequels. However, WITH THIRTEEN GHOSTS, the idea to remake a classic with today's new and improved graphics was one kicking idea. And it definitely worked. I have no working knowledge of the original but many people have told me that it does in fact stay true to the original plots and characters. I especially thought that the excellent performances only enhanced the quality of the flick even more. I personally think that this is by far the best performance by Matthew Lillard. I hope that other future remakes can live up to this one's potential.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome Remake! Must see!
Review: I absolutely love this movie! You have got to see it! The plot isn't that good, but the house is amazing, like clockwork. We should be able to hear the backstories of the ghosts in the movie, but you have to go to 13ghosts.com. I wish they actually had a house like that. I'd buy it. Just watch this film. You'll love it. The Jackal freaks out my friend, but eventually you get used to the gory effects.......
