Summary: Not bad
Review: The special effects of the glass house are visually arresting in this movie, but unfortunately, the movie never really goes anywhere, plotwise, and the plot takes numerous unexplained turns that don't seem to have much to motivate them, either. Still, it's good to see F. Murray Abraham is still working. (Watch) the video (instead of going to the movie).

Summary: it must be to difficult to make movies.NOT!
Review: spiffy idea,utterly lame movie.cool poster tho.as for the movie itself,sigh........dont studios have a meeting about the end result?one would think that some big shot would have executed the producers for such slop.there are soooooooooooo many horrendous movies being shoved in my face im starting to think theres a conspiracy.but im sure,like most junk being reveiwed here,this reveiw will be scoffed at.audiences nowadays are so used to mediocrity(hence the rave reveiws for the epic romeo must die)that bright colors and loud noises are now the ingredients to a great movie.i also foresee great reveiws for the soon to be for rent ''the wash'' ''black knight'' ''bones'' ''how high'' ''out cold'' ''rush hour 2''and anything MTV may release.i can type with a high accuracy rate that many of those who like movies mentioned here,own/like britney spares,her clones,any collection of 5 people dancing/yelping,and any rapper that looks angry.sigh

Summary: THIR13EN GHOSTS
Review: Thir13en Ghosts is about a struggling family who inherit a strange all glass house from their late uncle Cyrus. On the outside the house seems interesting, but inside is where the terror is lurking, trapped in 12 different glass cells, waiting to be released. And someone wants one more to add to the collection, which would make it thirteen ghosts.I just loved this film, a great, terrifying film that really takes you on a rollercoaster ride! All the actors in the film give great performances, especially the always lovely Shannon Elizabeth and the witty Mathew (Scream) Lillard. The ghosts in the film look amazing, thanks to KNB FX. Speaking of amazing, the glass mansion is very incredible, so errie and yet very beautiful. There are just to many good things to say about this film! First time feature film director Steve Beck did a great job with the film, and it turned out awsome! Don't get me wrong though, the film is very gory and intense, so best leave the small ones at home before heading to the theater or video store to catch this film. Overall: An amazing horror rollercoaster that will scare you right down to the bone! Grade: A+

Summary: scary
Review: I just got home after seeing this movie, and I must admit, I've been completely freaked out ever since! I assure you that this movie will scare you, make you jump, and totally creep you out! I would categorize the style of this movie as a "House on Haunted Hill" kind of movie, but with amazing special effects (and I mean amazing!), twisted and intricate, well written plot, great actors and acting, and even some well-placed humor! I have already promised myself to buy this movie when it is released to the public the day it comes out on VHS and DVD, it is THAT GOOD!

Summary: Jerky Ghosts Rawk.
Review: Overall a very good movie. By far some of the best horror popped out of Hollywood anytime recently. The only real complaint I have about it is that stupid little Ghost Hunter chick...she filled no purpose whatsoever. Special effects were all around great. The Jerky ghost action has been in use since Jacob's Ladder made it popular, and it looks like it's seriously here to stay since House on Haunted Hill and it's time lapse/speed photography and now 13 Ghosts...I'd much rather see this than a certain stupid glasses wearing kid who wants to name Cerebus Fluffy. Or the Scream-(...), the downfall of Wes Craven.. See it. Own it. Watch it.

Summary: Thirteen Ghosts
Review: I think that this movie was overall a good movie, but not a great movie. The special effects were really good and made the movie believable. The acting wasn't that great, but I did enjoy Matthew Lillard's performance. This was a great scary movie that leaves you thinking. Overall it is a good movie.

Summary: What waste of time
Review: I recently watched this movie and let me save you some time, DON'T see it. It is the classic bore of action horror. A little boy going down into a cellar to check out ghostly screams and whispers. Then running away only to trip and fall. Then to make it worst the kids family SPLITS up to find this kid in the same area. The entire plot is unbelieveable and does the classic (stuff) bad horror movies do. It is not scarry, only aggravating. If I could have given this movie a comparison I would compare it to Attack of the killer tomatoes with better special effects. That is how bad it was.

Summary: 13 Snores
Review: I'm no critic, and I still dislike this movie.. The acting was poor.. it's as if they're reading from scripts they've only just been handed an hour prior to filming. The plot was terribly predictable.. even without all of the overblown foreshadowing. The set was amazing and the effects skillfully done, but all wasted by an anti-climactic, snore of a story line. If you're hoping to get that frightening little rush that we sometimes enjoy so much from watching a horror flik, save your money.. this one has absolutely nothing to offer.

Summary: "IS THAT HALF OF THE LAWYER....?"
Review: Not a classic, but not a bad way to spend a few hours.... Thirteen Ghosts tells the story of a family that inherits a HUGE glass mansion from a rich Uncle. They also inherit a cellar-full of glass cells that are home to such cuddly ectoplasmic entities as First Son, The Breaker, Dire Mother, and (my personal favorite), Angry Princess. The pasty-faced ne'er-do-wells are not too happy to be cooped up in the dingy basement, and they're just dying (sorry...!) to get to know their new neighbors... The cast does the best they can with what they're given; I can get past cheesy lines like "Who am I??? Dr. Phil??", but I swear, the next time I see a too-hip-for-the-room black character say something like "I'm trapped in this house with some crazy white people!", I'm gonna puke. Rah Digga (Even her NAME is irritating!) utters that tired line, and she also sings/raps/croaks out the closing title song. Yuck....that's the scariest part of the film! And just as a little aside- What is this supposedly dirt-poor family doing with a nanny? Why can't the daughter watch the morbid little boy? Don't ask questions, just accept.... The effects are pretty good, and the Ghosts are truly original looking. (I'm particularly smitten with The Angry Princess played by Shawna Loyer...she's JUST....SO.....BEAUTIFUL!!) And Shannon Elizabeth is just as cute as ever.... F. Murray Abraham is effective, and even the always-annoying Matthew Lillard is tolerable. I wasn't scared, but I had fun. If you're a horror fan, give it a try.

Summary: Entertaining, visually appealing ReMake
Review: "13 Ghosts" is pretty good entertainment, tightly compacted into a little less than an hour and half, so the action doesn't slow down. The "haunted" house set is stunning as are the various gory ghosts... Not much of a story but who cares. My only real complaint is with the bathroom scene with Shannon Elizabeth who is exploring the house early on in the action. She enters the spacious shower-room, admires the bath tub, lightly drips some water on her face..but never gets in the damn tub...c'mon in a horror/haunted house movie, there has to be at least one shower/nude scene...and don't tell me that just because the above scene also had the nude ghost in it that this condition is satisfied...a nude ghost with knife marks and blood all over her does not qualify....otherwise...good flick
