Summary: Oh God, please let me give no stars!
Review: I'm ashamed for the human race that there are people giving this movie 5 stars.Did I miss something? Like the middle 30 min of the movie? They must have cut out a whole bunch of stuff because the holes in the plot are obscene. For instance, if the ghosts weren't let out until just after Price throws his wife through that wall, how was that other girl already cut up and put on display on that wall? (totally unecessary). That's another thing. I'm not a big fan of gore, but it's not what made me hate this movie with a passion. There was absolutely no effort put into making this thing. You never see what happens to a few of the characters, and most importantly, WHY THE HELL WERE THEY THERE? I mean, there had to be a reason, or did the ghost at the begining just think,"hmmm, I'll put down Joe Shmoo, John Smith, Jane Doe, etc."? Even though no one will ever read this review so far at the end of the list, I just felt the need to warn you all. I'm going to start walking down the streets of D.C., just walk up to random people and yell,"DON'T SEE THE HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL! PLEASE! "

Summary: Not a good movie
Review: I felt that this film didn't have any original scares and surprises. The film starts out in the one and only scary scene where a group of doctors are performing an autopsy on some one who is still alive in an insane asylum. Then the inmates break loose and kill the doctors and are killed as well in a fire. After some years later Geoffrey Rush and wife Femke Janssen invite 6 people to the now converted asylum for a night of terror in which if the participants live through the night they each win 1 million dollars. You can guess where it goes from there people die and lots of needless gore. Through out the film as I watched it I found that a lot of the scares were taken from other movies such as the ghost man that shakes his head was taken from Jacob's Ladder. This was another Hollywood remake that should have never been made. The original was far scarier and who doesn't love Vincent Price. If you can avoid this film like the plague do it its not worth the time or the money to rent. If you want good horror see something like Jacob's Ladder where the scares are constant and is also a moving film.

Summary: NOT TO GREAT
Review: This movie somewhat disappointed me. If you've ever seen the trailer, it looks like you're in for a spooky ride, but the movie has little of these, just kind of creepy. It will make you jump, sure, but hardly scare you (EXCEPT the underwater scene. WHOA!) Everyone comments on how dumb the ending was, and I'm afraid I must agree. The thought of that couple laughing in joy at earning millions of dollars AFTER their friends have been executed in many gruesome ways, they are stuck stories above the ground, and they were almost killed by a giant, stupid cloud thing. The only redeeming factors in this movie were the sets (beautifully creepy) and the VERY VERY VERY end. Now THATS creepy.

Summary: Horror At Its Best
Review: Any fan of horror movies is bound to love "The House on Haunted Hill". Its got the special effects, the chase scenes, the scary surprises that make you jump, and (of course) the evil spirits who inhabit the gothic asylum. For the first time ever, this remake is actually better than the original...

Summary: Disappointing
Review: This movie starts of great. A mad doctor conducting horrible experiments in an insane asylum, the inmates riot and nearly everyone is killed in a terrible fire. And then we move to the present day with Geoffrey Rush playing an impressario with just the best roller coaster ride arranging a party for his neglected wife (Famke Janssen). Unfortunately the story goes down hill after that. The guests at the party are not those actually invited but the decendents of the people who survived the fire, invited so that the evil residing in the house can wreak its revenge. You get lots of spooky opportunities, minor chords, jiggling and monstrous faces a la Jacob's Ladder and lots of blood. But none of this is new and although you may jump a few times, it is not really scary. The effects are not really state of the art and evil is far too easily defeated (or at least managed). The best scenes (available on the DVD) seemed to have been cut from the movie. I have given this three stars because the DVD interface is very well done and there are some nice extras. If you want to be scared, watch the original. If you want a laugh with your mates over a beer or two, this is for you.

Summary: good movie...but...
Review: ...the ending was not as good as it could have been, which is kinda typical for a haunted house movie because while all of them seem promising they are always ruined by a weak ending...this one was really fun throughout and had the feeling of an old horror film, except with ALOT of extra gore and violence...I enjoyed it for what it was, a truly strange and thrilling horror film...my only other complaint was that the deleted scene with debi mazar at the beginning was really funny and essential to the plot, therefore it should not have been removed, it was one of the funnier scenes in the movie, but it got edited out for no apparent reason...it was rather important to the plot so i do not understand the logic behind that...plus since a sequel is in the works with mazar as the new owner of the house, it would make sense that this scene be put back in...

Summary: The most effective sleeping-pill imagineable
Review: I don't know what's the big deal with this movie. I bought it because I love scary movies and I sold it the next day after I saw it cuz it was not scary at all. The effects are pretty cool, but from Producer Joel Silver ("The Matrix" you'd expect a lot more. "It's the house, It's alive! " Please..... A good Actor named Geoffrey Rush has wasted his time and a lot of bad actors have proved what they are.... I've never seen a more boring film than this cause every step they make is predictable. Let's forget this movie and enjoy better work of Joel and Geoffrey

Summary: Well...
Review: It wasn't what I expected that's for sure. The operation scene had me gagging. I don't do medical stuff. I expected the movie to be scary...but just...well...stupid scary. It was better than I thought it was going to be but still it wasn't that great. And the pessimistic owner guy ROX!

Summary: Scary
Review: The whole movie is a splendid array of visuals that will have your girlfriend holding your arm, and screaming! The special effects are state of the art, and the acing fits the genre. The only bad part, is the final scene(s), very bad... but if you see the DVD version, you can see the deleted scenes, which has a add-on ending, which was taken out, but I think fits.

Summary: Liked the Beginning
Review: The best part of the movie was the beginning. I thought that they might actually have a good movie here. Unfortunately, they did not do such a great job. I won't go in to detail about my complaints, but I strongly believe that they could have made a very scary movie if they had done several things: 1) Laid off some of the computer-generated effects, like at the end 2)not focused so much on the feud between Price and his wife, it became annoying 3) used the crazy doctor more often. That one part of the movie (to all those who feel i will ruin the movie for them stop reading) where Rush enters the camera room and finds that the security guard's face is gone and then he sees the crazy doctor scared me to a great extent. It pains me to see a movie like this when i know it could have been so much better
