unlike any other Haunted House movies, this movie seems original
if you look in the DVD edition, or on Wikipedia, the ghosts have back stories like superheroes.
anyway, this film was fun to watch, and to see it again, you have to be a horror movie fan!

Well, it wasn't what I was expecting. It's a boring movie. I was bored as hell watching it, it has to be the most boring ghost movie I have ever seen. Secondly, the plot and acting is ridiculous, with stupid scenrious and some serious acting problems. But, aside from that, this movie (at it's few moments) offers some great, classic scares, and some good CGI work to offer a ok - ish scary movie. Rent this, because nothing here is worth a buy.
Good Points: Some general scares, good CGI
Bad Points: Horrible acting, boring, stupid plot.
Briliant movie!! saw it as a kid and even now it doesnt fail to deliver!! the concept is great and one ive never seen in another horror film again. The idea alone of only being able to see them when your wearing the goggles adds loads of tension!! Originally horrors used to be more about what you might see or though you saw and this movie intertwines the aspects of modern horror and gore to that of classic horrors.
this is one movie im stuck on. is it good or not?the ghosts look awsome!the kill scene with the glass door awsome, other than that meh?give it a watch though you may enjoy it.

Fantastic. This film from get go is enjoyable. Each ghost has it's own uniqueness about it, that makes the film more interesting. The stunning sets, and the make-up done to make the ghosts creepy really paid off. It's the second film released by "Dark Castle Entertainment", and is just as good. The movie isn't per-say a slasher, as only a few are killed, but when they are killed, it's awesome.
The plot, is very very huge in itself, and it lives up to what I presume the main script was screaming. It's very original, and has a few ghosts that's backgrounds are explored a little. Great plot, great movie.
The acting was very well done, with the house (although not living) stealing the show. Shannon Elizabeth stars as the daughter, who obviously won't die. The 13 ghosts are very very well acted, and are pretty freaky when you look at them.
Overall "Thir13en Ghosts" is a great flick, that isn't scary, but is a great watch, and is just fantastic. My rating is 4.5/5

A hell of a lot scarier when I saw it as a younger kid... not so much now. Decent, but a definite let-down when I was looking for that wicked scary movie that I once thought it was.

Thirteen ghosts was kick ass! The acting was great, really believable except it was sad when my fav character died. The storyline was awesome, nice and original and the little twist at the end was great. The atmosphere and setting was mad, glass house, locks down when triggered and unleashes the ghosts one by one. The special effects and make up designs looked extremely realistic and each of the ghosts had their own unique and awesome look. My favourite ghost was the juggernaut, a massive tall guy who looked completely bad ass. He was also the ghost who killed my favourite character. The ghosts each had their own back story and why the died. The only problem I had was you didn't get to see enough of some of the ghosts and it only described their back story in the special features. The deaths were awesome, my fav death was when the lawyer guy got the glass door closed through him and he was cut in half. That part had some nice gore effects. Some of the scenes in this movie were pretty creepy and I liked the idea that you have to wear special shades in order to see the ghosts. There is one scene where the guy dosen't have any and the girl has to tell him when to run and when to duck. That part was pretty tense and suspensful. Overall this was a great ghost movie and delievered great scenes on so many levels, the only con is not seeing enough of some of the ghosts. I give 13 ghosts a 8/10.
Dark Castle has had better movies. my fav being house of was my 2nd fav being reaping, 13 ghosts coming in 3rd. i brought this movie for 4 dollars at a used dvd store next 2 my uncles bar in smithfeild. this movie was a decent remake. way better than house on haunted hill remake was. the ghost were freaky and the set was pretty good. i dont like the fact that the house was made out of glass but i'll live. this movie was good and i enjoy a horror movie with matthew lillard in it. all inall this is one of dark castles good remakes.
This was a decent movie.. whats wrong with the story line? You have a rich evil collector who captured ghosts and his brother's family for the purpose of sacrificing them to gain powers/info of hell itself.. I thought it was very well done.. shrug different strokes for different folks I geuss
