Wait - weren't there actually F15teen ghosts?????

This movie was pretty bad. It starts off with a really noise and busy scene in a scrap yard where a bunch of people get killed by a mean-spirited ghost. Then we meet an annoying family who inherit a house that is actually a "machine built by the devil, and powered by ghosts". Of course the kids don't listen and wander off, and more people get killed (rather gruesomely, although I have the admit the lawyer getting sliced in half was rather ingenious), until the spunky African-American housekeeper/nanny/comic relief saves the day by scratching some records.

But there was some rambling legend about needing 12 ghosts, and then a 13th ghost to open up some Devil Eye or something...now, there were 12 ghosts in the house...then the lawyer gets killed...then Shaggy...and then Benedict Arnold-ish soul saver chick...so shouldn't there have been 15 ghosts wandering around?? I must admit the set (the moving glass house) was pretty cool. But the best part of the movie is the opening credits, where the camera pans 360 degrees around a room, while time passes and the room changes, without any visible edits. The director deserves better.

score 1/10
