After Pirates of the Carribean I was eager to watch this one. Unfortunately there is no comparison between the two films. The Haunted Mansion fails in too many accounts to be a good film. Other than some nicely done CGI effects and some good acting from E. Murphie and T. Stamp there is nothing else that is truly good about it. Oh, and the Mansion is very detailed but hardly utilised in the film.
This movie could have been so much better but a bad story and script just ruin it. The characters are flat and the movie fails to be scary or funny. A younger audience (children under 12 years old) may find it entertaining but older kids and adults will probably be bored.
I give it 6 out of 10 (and I'm being very generous here) because I like ghost stories and E. Murphie and because the DVD has some great extras.
