Summary: YAWN
Review: Im sorry but I have to say that this movie, may just be the worst movie ever made. Okay maybe not the worst movie but still an extremly boring one. Honestly, I feel asleep for 5 minutes while waching this movie. Good actors is the only thing this movie has going for it. The actual acting isn't as good. But anyways thirteen ghosts is based on an uncle who is willing to let his brother and his kids live at his house filled with ghosts whom he is studying. It's based on a movie made a while back (can't remember what year) but that movie was supposedly a good movie (I've never seen it.) For most of my friends this movie did alot for them. But this movie did absolutley nothing for me - didnt scare, didnt have anything new or exciting. Maybe the old movie was better but the antics in this movie just bored me. Id rather watch a Paul Walker movie, yes you heard me right Paul Walker - one of the worst actors I've ever seen.

If you want to laugh at supposed to be scary parts wondering if that part was supoosed to be scary, and if you want to fall asleep at the sametime then this is your movie. But If you wanna watch something thats actually scary try The Sixth Sense, The Excorsist, Hannibal, Silence Of The Lambs or The Ring

Summary: A GREAT Haunted House B-movie!
Review: I love these horror flicks (especially the Haunted House ones like this. :)) And therefore I find "Thir13een Ghosts" to be one of the BEST horror films ever made! This remake of the 1960 original is far better, & the scares are more terrifying and fun than ever! It's a little bit of a mix between horror/sci-fi, which makes it quite new & original to the horror genre of today. A house that is like a puzzle? Who would've thought that'd be a pretty neat place?! The cast also did very well with the acting, & in most of these B-movies it's usually bad. The only cons with this is that the SFX seem pretty dated like an old 70s horror flick, but that's what makes it good just like how oldschool horror used to be before they screwed it up with movies such as "Scream" & "The Ring". All 13 ghosts are very interesting on their own behalf, & each one has something different and fascinating about his/herself. The entire layout was also nicely done and the ending will leave you surprised with it's clever twist!

OVERALL: 10/10!!! An awesome movie for ANY horror (not to mention gore) buff! Good to watch on a dark & stormy night when you're home alone with all the lights out!! Guaranteed to send chills down your spine and give you nightmares! AWESOME MOVIE!!!!

Summary: Now we know why she's called "The Angry Princess."
Review: This movie is weak!!! This movie is kinda like "The Haunting" meets "Lord of the Rings." It's more SCI-FI than Horror. Story revolving around some billionaire, hunting ghosts for a living, trying to collect the 13 Ghosts that would open the doors of hell; he later invites his nephew's family to spend the night in his mansion filled with these ridiculous looking ghosts w/ these ridiculous names like "The Hammer" and my favorite "The Angry Princess" (Now we know why she's angry... being in this movie after all). Yup, it gets ridiculously cheesy by the minute. I felt like I was watching a horrible remake of Ghostbusters. At least Ghostbusters was fun and entertaining.

Really bad acting doesn't help this movie either. Shannon Elizabeth's one liners like "This bathroom is amazing!" runs through out the course of this movie. I mean everyone, even Tony Shalhoub are given stupid ridiculous high-school-drama one-liners. Matt Willard was probably the only decent actor in this movie. ...

Most important of all, this movie was not even scary! NOT SCARY! It's actually more gross than anything else. This is not a haunted house type of movie at all.

The ending is probably the cheesiest, most stupidest, and laughable ending I've seen in a while. ...

Summary: It's better than what most people make it out to be
Review: I found this movie very scary when I first watched it that it had me not wanting to go to my basement for a long time..In this William Castle remake(which I believe is a better version)Arthur Kriticos inherits a glass mansion from his deceased uncle, who enjoyed capturing spirits and also are part of his evil plans with the Black Zodiac..Unware of the truth behind this house he takes his family and nanny to look at it..Where there they come across the psychic who helped his uncle capture these ghosts..As he learns about the house from the psychic his naughty kids decided to roam the house instead of staying put..In the basement of this house is where the ghosts are kept in glass cages..The machine is set off and the ghosts are released while Arthur finds that his son is missing..They all search for him before they can find how to get out cause all doors and windows has locked them in..While these ghosts are roaming the halls scaring the living hell out of them they can still see them through goggles..Which I think it's pretty cool cause characters have to learn to fight back instead of scream and run..I won't give it all away but this film does have great action points..And to be quite honest their visual effects don't seem as fake and phony like other movies..They also get depth with the ghosts history and how they became what they are now..Although who really cares about the characters story..I think this movie is a plus and it still has me cuddling to my mate..This movie will always be in my DVD collection

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: More humor than horror
Review: Definitely, by far, one of Matthew Lillard's better performances as a sarcastic individual. This movie did get overall terrible ratings from most movie critics, but the truth is told by the fans and growing underground love for this movie. I wouldn't neccesarily call it a cult classic, but it is teetering the fine line. Good movie if you want to scare little kids, but overall it's more humorous to those who have a slight incline to the love of the dark side.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Appeals to Fans of Haunted Houses
Review: I loved this film for the atmosphere. I'm a big fan of haunted house and ghost stories; this movie satisfied me. I wasn't expecting much of a story; with this type of film that is usually the case so I didn't mind the lack of "depth". If you like some mindless scary fun and enjoy ghost movies, you'll like this one. It's a good Friday night watch.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: I laugh at those who found this scary.
Review: Even stupider than the first. Yes it's that bad. At least the first was funny. This was just stupid. Nothing scary here. It is a movie you can laugh at with your buds though. Doesn't matter when you watch it, in the dark or 2 in the afternoon. This flick won't effect you at all.

Summary: More fun than Scary
Review: I love this movie because rather than bore the audience with multiple complicated plots and real life situations, it gives a fun kinda feeling for the whole of the movie. The ghosts, though you never get to see them clearly even though thats why most people wanted to see the movie in the first place, were spectacualr. I especially loved the Jackal. Him and the Angry Princess were the most spotlighted characters and for good reason: She runs around with a butcher knife, completely naked for the whole movie, and he has a large cage on his head and the tattered remains of a straightjacket. For those of you who haven't seen the movie yet, just by reading the description, you wanna go out and buy this film!

The sound was awesome (creepy, resident evil type stuff), but the acting was a little weird, but other than that, this was a great, fun film!
