Critically Acclaimed: The Haunted Mansion and 13 Ghosts

THE HAUNTED MANSION is one of the most popular attractions at Disneyland and Disneyworld, so when PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN became a big hit movie, it only made sense to turn everyone’s favorite ride into a movie as well! Unfortunately, Disney turned it into a bland and forgettable family flick, instead of the haunted house classic we all know it could be. THE HAUNTED MANSION is a bloated CGI extravaganza, and yet it’s the perfect double feature with William Castle’s low-low-budget, gimmicky haunted house classic 13 GHOSTS! Let’s find out why, and let’s also review this week’s brand new releases: ADRIFT, UPGRADE, ACTION POINT, AMERICAN ANIMALS and THE MISANDRISTS!
