First of all, if you've enjoyed the previous William Castle's remake, House on Haunted Hill, then this second one is definetly for you!
The main star of the film has got to be that exsquisite glass house, in itself a pure machine "designed by the devil and powered by the dead" hehe. Matthew Lillard is very campy and funny in it, just like he should be, in fact I've laughed more times than I got scared but thats not a bad thing. It's Ghostbusters with a twist, a crazy Uncle literaly captures ghosts into glass cubes and then builds a house/machine with them being released one by one with a family trapped inside.
Did it come out yet in UK? Definetly go see it, I want this DVD NOW! :D
P.S. How nice to see the remakes, especially if you've had a glimpse of the originals. Remember in House on Haunted Hill, the limousines arrive with an accompanying Marilyn Manson song, Sweet Dreams. Well in 13 Ghosts, they arrive under the trippy/rappy Tricky's "Excess", very cool
