Every movie buff knows that this is a remake of the cult-classic directed by famous director William Castle. I found this to be a very good horror flick and a fun ghost thriller. The premise and concept of the movie are basically the same. The family is trapped in a big house with ghosts you can only see with special glasses. There are different entities and personalities for each ghost, my favorite would have to be the Juggernaut.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>I thought the scenery and mood of the film is excellent the entire flick&#8217;s atmosphere is set up right from the beginning.\u00a0 The problem with this is that the makers of the movie speed through the story of the film and it doesn&#8217;t give us enough time to establish the characters for us to like them. A lot of the movie has obvious horror movie clich\u00e9s that never seem to impress me. A lot of the ghosts that are shown have different personalities and origins, yet they only show about two of their origins. I would have also liked to learn more about the machine and the story of the ghosts assembly.<\/p>\n<p>Otherwise an all around fun movie to watch with a bunch of people. The plot is a lot more intricate than you would think. It seems the house is not really a house, yet a machine that is powered by the 12 ghosts that are needed to open the &#8220;Eye of Hell&#8221;, the only problem is, they need one more ghost to complete the opening and help power it. Which is the thirteenth ghost? You&#8217;ll just have to watch and see. This is a pretty fun and creepy remake that, though, fails to even compare to the novelty, and sheer excitement of the original, is still entertaining in spite of its number of faults.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have to say director Steve Beck&#8217;s treatment &#8220;Thirteen Ghosts&#8221; is not as bad as everyone says it is.
