13 Ghosts (Remake)

[FrighT MasteR]

Re-watched a little of this movie on TV earlier and remembered how decent it was. Sure it's kinda dumb, but the whole idea about the house is interesting and I liked how it had a bunch of unique ghosts in it, some of which were a little freaky.

The film also came out around the time when mainstream supernatural horror flicks like this could still be rated R. Now-a-days, studios are too scared to slap restricted ratings that they aim for PG-13, in hopes of bringing in more viewers. The end-result usually ends up being a crapfest.

I think I originally gave it a 7/10 rating when it came out back in '01. I think now it'd probably be a 6. Still not an entirely bad flick. :shrugs:

I liked this movie alot. I loved the stories behind each ghost. Some were insane looking. The house rocked!!

[KING]

I love this movie.

[woodenheart]

Wasn't Thir13teen Ghosts already a remake? So this one would be a remake of a remake.

[KING]

This thread is dedicated to the remake..

[Doc Awesome]

Dug this a lot. Watched it every time it came on tv.

[smokey]

One of my guilty pleasures this. I really like this. The Ghosts were cool.

[UzumakiW]

Meh...it wasn't too great. It had its entertaining moments, but I've seen this movie probably three or four times already, and I think that's enough for me.

[xxsic4slipknotxx]

I have this flick myself and I always enjoyed what it had to offer. Especially the scenes involving The Jackal. :D

That's something I've always wanted to ask you FrighT. Are there other reviews, like this one, you made a few years back that you felt didn't deserve that rating; a higher or lower rating than what you gave it back then?

[steelba]

A friend got mw the dvd as a gift, I never watch it though..

[FrighT MasteR]

That's something I've always wanted to ask you FrighT. Are there other reviews, like this one, you made a few years back that you felt didn't deserve that rating; a higher or lower rating than what you gave it back then?

For most of the reviews my opinion pretty much remains the same, but sometimes the rating itself changes, especially if I give something a really favorable review, but look back and decide that maybe I was a little too nice. :shrugs:

I saw this in the theater, and enjoyed most of it. It was more violent than the first Dark Castle flick, but not as frightening overall.

I think the one part I really hated was the old school rap style "scratching" with equipment that really would not be effective for the task. It was only a few seconds long, but it really detracted from the entire film for me.

Matthew Lillard also did a great job carrying on the role of "Comic Relief that doesn't suck." There is a very good compare/contrast with his character and Chris Kattan's character in House on Haunted Hill. For at least two movies, Dark Castle showed near-mastery of comic timing in a horror film.

I wouldn't call it perfect, but it was still really, really good at what it meant to be.

[satanocat]

my kids love the dark caslte movies. caught this on the big screen when it came out and i thought it was great. loved the scene with the lawyer. and i love tony shaloub

Thanks, I've always been curious about that. :coolbeer:

[BooBerry]

I liked this as well as the other Dark Castle flicks. Ghost Ship and House on Haunted Hill. All were decent ghost flicks with favorable amounts of gore.

[KING]

"Where did the lawyer go?"
"I think he split"

[FrighT MasteR]

Thanks, I've always been curious about that. :coolbeer:

Jason X originally got an 8/10 rating when I saw it, because I was young and really in the mood for a new Jason flick. Some years later I changed it to a 7/10.

Battle Royale originally received a 9/10, but a few years later I decided to actually re-review it; added some new sentences and slapped a 10-rating.

Just a couple examples :thumbup3:

[steelba]

:die:

[FrighT MasteR]

Steelba originally gave Quarantine an 8, but after reading many somewhat negative comments and reviews, decided to change it to a 6 :hmmm:

[Cataclysm]

13 Ghosts is a shit movie. End of discussion.

[steelba]

:sure:

[Get Some]

i liked the beginning alot , ghosts were sweeet

[FrighT MasteR]

:sure:

You'za bitch. :smokin2:

[CagedFreak]

I spent the entire movie staring at Shannon Elizabeth's tits and can't remember much else. I've seen it 5 times.

I spent the entire movie staring at Shannon Elizabeth's tits and can't remember much else. I've seen it 5 times.I spent most of the TCM remake looking at Jessica Biel's tits. Especially at the end when her shirt was wet.

Indeed! Definitely a proper pair of mams. I'm glad this thread has been brought down to my level:tiphat:

[Darkgod]

It was alright, i owned the dvd, a friend borrowed it and i never got it back. I never really hounded him for it.

[Wally The Cannibal]

Thirteen Ghosts was ok as a starter flick when I was younger and still building up speed into my love of horror. Gore level isn't satisfactory to me anymore. It would be ok if it was leveled off with some better acting too, but I didn't find it THAT well acted.

On a side note I also re-watched Jason X and my god is that movie fucking great just as a stand alone sci-fi/slasher mash up. Good drinking movie.

[strtfghtr]

I liked this movie, pretty good gore, pretty hot tata's, and Lillard was hysterical

[DeathBanana]

I thought it was great. Very amusing. Oh and Fright, Jason X is definitely a 2.

[Wally The Cannibal]

I thought it was great. Very amusing. Oh and Fright, Jason X is definitely amazing.

That's what I thought. :greetings:

[Galerian]

Not too bad. Entertaining watch at least with some pretty cool lookin ghosts.

[DeathBanana]

That's what I thought. :greetings:

Granted, I probably should watch it again. And I'll probably change my rating... to a 1, or do we permit 0's?

[redmoon]

i saw this movie years and years ago so long ago i don't even remember half of it, hmmm i wonder if its worth rewatching it?

[grlxx]

I liked it alot, it's a fun movie to watch. plus i also liked the original one as well. good stuff..

[woodenheart]

The Jackal and the torso.....my two favourite ghosts.

[koolmike]

Not too bad. Entertaining watch at least with some pretty cool lookin ghosts.

Feel the same way.

[skybrick]

Liked the movie because of the casting but I really never did get too interested in the movie. Not to much replay value in my opinion. 5/10

[whereistheMrPibb]

I liked the movie. I thought the concept was great. I wish it would have shown some of the ghosts more though.

[countess_bathory]

I really enjoyed this film, the ghost were very well thought out, and for once i thought mathew lillard was actually good!! The special features on the dvds were great, espesh the part where it goes into detail about how the ghosts become what they are. 9/10

[krazykuz13]

I enjoyed this movie. The first time i saw it i was locked up in he county doing a 12 month bid in 2001. They would show two movies starting at 7 and then at 9. Good times...lol...Still can't seem to keep my ass out of jail though.

[MaryPoppins]

yeah i think it was the jackle that scared me the most. i love the special make-up effects that the movie produced and i liked the story line. i have this movie in my horror collection. i'd give it an 7.5 out of 10.

[Nija]

ok watch, own it as well.

[slimeisacharacter]

Very nice ghost designs. Sides that, its an average film.

[WarBeast]

The ghost with the slashes all over her had a nice set of tits... minus the slashes...

[Yannis]

The ghost with the slashes all over her had a nice set of tits... minus the slashes...

Slashes ? Mehhh
I'd still do her ... :drooling:

[Revenant]

good creature design, poor everything else..

[myersgirl13]

Love this movie:thumbup3:

[blindloathing]

I agree that jason x is a 2.. A couple cool death scenes other than that not good.

[HEKTIK15]

:karate:I liked it the ghosts were cool as hell , I've seen the original so watch the original and then tell how good of a remake it was:karate:

[da Gay]
