Thirteen Ghosts (2001)

EW's GRADE
C-

Details Release Date: Oct 26, 2001; Rated: R; Length: 89 Minutes; Genre: Horror; With: Shannon Elizabeth, Matthew Lillard and Tony Shalhoub; Distributor: Warner Bros.

Thirteen Ghosts, the second over-the-top remake of an over-the-top William Castle horror flick (the first was ''House on Haunted Hill'') tries to update the innocent camp of the original with cheap post-''Scream'' irony and lazy, scattered racial jokes while dishing out technologically advanced spookiness. The result is a Halloween movie in horror limbo in which Tony Shalhoub, Shannon Elizabeth, Matthew Lillard, and others scream down hallways populated by ghosts.
