Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
Lush production design and sparkling special effects make The Haunted Mansion pretty to look at. Terence Stamp, as a malevolent ghost of a butler, provides a suitable air of menace as he dematerialises to and fro. Marsha Thomason is lovely as a real estate agent hired to sell a haunted mansion, but in truth the ghostly owner of the mansion believes she is the reincarnation of his lost love. Wallace Shawn and Dina Waters make a modestly amusing comic pair as a ghostly husband and wife who bustle about. Jennifer Tilly, as a green disembodied head in a crystal ball, glitters appropriately. The movie also features endless clichés, futile attempts at humour, and Eddie Murphy. If you're looking for a movie based on a Disneyland ride, try the very clever Pirates of the Caribbean instead. --Bret Fetzer

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - challenging
Daughter had fun with this game, it was quite challenging at times, which is a good thing - they don't compete them so quickly!



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - "I see dead people" again
THE HAUNTED MANSION is another film where ordinary folks see dead people. The last was GOTHIKA. The original was, of course, SIXTH SENSE. It's evidently an inconvenient talent. (A very clever knock-off of the theme was THE OTHERS of a couple years ago starring Nicole Kidman. Its subtitle could have been, "I see live people.")

Eddie Murphy and Marsha Thomason are Jim and Sara Evers, a high-powered husband and wife realtor team. Sara is invited by Mr. Gracey (Nathaniel Parker) to visit his ... Read More



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Schlock-horror
Unamusing, incomprehensible, over-acted. The Haunted Mansion is a totally unimpressive film, once you take away the state-of-the art effects, but even these pale into comparison with 'Pirates of the Caribbean'. Eddie Murphy again has one of his off-days, playing an unfunny cliche ridden character, whilst Terrance Stamp must be needing the money.
Basic synopsis; work obsessed father, beautiful wife, wholesome kids, locked in haunted mansion. Dead owner, creepy butler. Family in peril, Dad and kids ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Light hearted fun and entertainment.
Haunted mansion is loosely based on the Walt Disney world ghost ride of the same name. It will not tax your mind but it will amuse, entertain and generally while away a very pleasant hour or so. My kids loved it and although children with a timid disposition might find it scarey in places, I would think most modern children would lap it up. I certainly enjoyed it even on the second and third viewing (Don't your kids watch a new film five times?).



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - funny,entertaining ,scary
overall this was a fun family film that id recommend you to watch-but perhaps not buy.if you are part of a family with young children{12 and under}then this is the perfect film to watch,all together,on a rainy saturday evening.your children will most definately love it.some seens are fairly scary {for kids}and others exceedingly funny.
from the first seen you are engaged and want to carry on watching it.the story,with superb acting from the hilarious Eddie Murphy,follows a guy{Murphy},his wife ... Read More
