Ugh what is wrong with me. It’s so slick and retarded that a non comedic Chris Kattan isn’t even the retarded part. Hey it’s the 90s I can toss around retarded with impunity and Peter Gallagher looks like an alien trying to be human and the only reference was Dean Cain. This movie really did a number on my trash brain.

Growing up, it seemed the late 90's were especially full of "twin films"; "Dante's Peak"(1997) and "Volcano"(1997), "Deep Impact"(1998) and "Armageddon"(1998), and maybe the most egregious "Titanic"(1997) and "Speed 2: Cruise Control"(1997). Similarly, this haunted house movie remake had another haunted house remake, in "The Haunting"(1999) as its twin that year. Unfortunately, while I prefer both of the originals over their slick 90's remakes, there is still some dumb horror fun to be had here.

I know I should hate this movie. It's horribly written and falls into many of the horror cliches, but for some inexplicable reason I love this movie. I love the visuals and cinematography, something that William Malone does rather well no matter how sub-par his movies are. I also have a soft spot for the opening credits, which I also loved. I hate to admit it but this is one of my guilty pleasure.

Probably one of the more overlooked "good bad movies" of the 90's. To be honest, the idea of translating the gimmickiness of William Castle's films to the gimmickiness of hypergory turn-of-the-millenium horror is a pretty nifty one that makes way more sense than most remakes. It's just a shame that the ending came straight from a garbage can.

A very noteworthy effort put forward in this remake. While far from the perfect haunted house film, the cast is stellar and there are a few legitimate thrills along the way. Really very engrossing for a film that seems to have little effort put into it by the producers.

This could have been great. It has an interesting set-up, some very good scares, and a few over-actors letting loose on the material -- Rush is great in a Vincent Price-esque role, and Kattan is memorably neurotic. Too bad it completely falls apart in the end. But at the end of the day, the movie's only real ambition is to get under your skin and give you a few good frights along the way. Does it get the job done? Absolutely. It just could have been better, bigger, scarier. ...Couldn't they all?

I still contend this has some of the creepiest imagery to see film. New rating 10 years later 2019: It stinks. There's still a couple scenes I enjoy but its a very late nineties early oughts horror movie. Geoffrey Rush is fine in it and Chris Kattan is ok as the only one who understands whats happening. Liked it much more when i was in middle school.

Between this and The Haunting, 1999 turned out to be the year of the underwhelming familiar cast horror movie. This one is better than The Haunting it actually remembered to have one or two legitimate thrills and it never hurts to have Rush in your movie.

I remember liking this a kid and was actually the first 18 rated film I saw. Watching it now, after seeing the original, I came away feeling nothing but resentment for modern horror. The only positive factor is Geoffrey Rush, who's enjoyably hammy. He's not exactly Price though.

Not really worth watching past the amusement park. While some shots would look cool in a music video the films a jumble of desperate grabs at neo-noir, mystery and lovecraftian horror with particularly idiotic wandering-off-alone characters. Real stinker of an ending too.

This is pretty much my favorite horror flick. I know it's not a popular one with good reviews but if you take it for what it is rather than looking for more, you may just find yourself enjoying the effects. I think Dark Castle has some of the best special effects for that time.

Even this great cast couldnt save the movie. Loved seeing Ali Larter and Bridgette Wilson. Geoffrey Rush acted very well and the character he played was the only cool one acted out in the movie. The superghost was kind of stupid looking, but I liked the crazy doctor ghosts and the idea of there being a maze.

I was having some personal problems that effected my viewing of the picture. The basic set up here is scary & creepy, and the film trucks out some real terrifying imagery, albeit disjointed. Felt like i might have nightmares after seeing it, some of this stuff really stuck with me. The human intrigue is nicely done, and when it comes time for the supernatural smoke to scare, well, it doesn't cut the mustard. The survivors are the least interesting characters, everybody should have died.

I was expecting this to be terrible, as is its reputation, so maybe that's why I didn't totally hate it. But, that being said, I didn't love it either. Paper-thin characters, a script littered with embarrassingly amateur mistakes, & an ending so underwhelming yet unintentionally hilarious that I can't tell if I hated it or not. All said, this one's just really bizarre- strong cast, strong source material, a lot of ambition & creativity, but a super meh end result.

I literally don't know what this movie is. Is it supernatural horror? Is it black comedy? Is it satirical? Is it scary? I honestly couldn't tell you because not only does the movie move so fast that you can barely catch on, it also just piles on plot twists and turns, left, right and center. It feels like it was directed by Joel Schumacher and written by a not-so-clever comedian or something. I don't know if this is one of the best worst movies ever or one of the worst best movies ever.

This movie is pretty bad. I watched it for the always wonderful Geoffrey Rush, but it still wasn't worth it. I kept hoping it would surprise me with a twist ending about it all being a trick - I think this is what one is supposed to think going through this movie - and the twist seems to be that there is no twist.

I would, seriously, watch six seasons and a movie of 1999 Geoffrey Rush and 1999 Famke Janssen staying married while hating each other and seducing and/or murdering each other's sidepieces. Once an episode, Chris Kattan pops up and yells "THIS HOUSE IS EEEEEEVIL!" for absolutely no reason. The rest of this can go burn in Bad CGI Hell.
