House on Haunted Hill (Yr 2000)

This is a modern day remake of the classic "House on Haunted Hill" from back in 1959 which starred the legendary Vincent Price. The old movie seems primitive by today's standards but still ranks right up there with the best of them.

This newer version follows a similar story line but is quite different in location, guest invitees and rationale. I found it quite good. Technically they made very few gaffs [There are always a few. What can I say! None were outright stupid.] The suspense is good. Keeps you guessing. Props are good.

All in all, the movie could really have happened. To make a "horror" movie realistic is a challenge. And when it is realistic it is great. The new twists and themes are well done. This is not a simple blood and guts movie where half the cast gets chopped up one way or the other. Yes, they die, but not by the hands of a crazy guy with a chain saw. More sophisticated than that.

If you like suspense and a bit of horror sprinkled in you will like this one.

Scary and creepy the FIRST TIME only.

This movie was super scary with a HUGE CREEPY FACTOR- - the 1st time (and only the first time) I watched it. There are a lot of scenes that hold unexpected twists that really made me JUMP. However, after the first viewing I was able to anticipate the "make you jump" scenes and what is left is a very mediocre delivery of what could have been an AWESOME plot, with not so great acting and an ending that leaves A LOT to be desired.

Evelyn Price, wife of amusement park owner, Vincent Price, is spoiled and filthy rich. Ever seeking to impress, shock and outdo her friends she insists that Vincent throw her birthday party at a hospital for the mentally insane that was shut down years before when it was discovered that the head doctor was performing experiments on and torturing the patients. She saw a documentary about the facility on TV. She has an elaborate "haunted" party in mind and even provides Vincent with her desired guest list. But what Mrs. Price wants, is not what Mrs. Price gets... Instead invitations are sent to only a handful of people, who appear to be strangers daring them to spend the night in the "haunted" facility with a prize of 1 million dollars for whoever makes it through the night. What makes this movie fun is that you never know what "tricks" Vincent has staged for the party goers, what Evelyn is staging to get back at Vincent for the lousy party... (she wants him dead so she can have his money, by the way...) and what is "really happening."

It's definitely worth watching once. But probably not more than once...Read full review...

Still good

This is definitely a must-see for any horror fan. Maybe not the best but certainly not the worst. Still manages to put me on the edge of my seat at some scenes. Not the most accomplished horror movie but it still comes with a story to keep everyone interested. It holds its own in comparison to the other Ghost Castle films. So if you liked movies such as Fear Dot Com, 13 Ghosts, or Gothika this is something you would most likely be interested in. So bottom line if your looking for complexity this may not be your ideal choice but if you're looking for a good edge-of-your-seat horror movie this is it.
Not to be confused with the low budget "scary movies" out there, its well made and worth a look. I know thats something I always worry about with the genre.Read full review...

I was addopted LOL

The Reason i Give this movie a two instead of a 3 is because of the last scene where the last man standing screams i was addopted and then suddenly escapes from the clenches of the hounted Spirits. the Escaped couple also Miraculausly get a 5 million dollar bonus. Which they could of gotten just by telling the story of a hounted house.

Please dont read on if you havent watched the movie this will spoil it for ya

As for me i would watch any hounted house movie ever created. There is Just something cool about the way people bond in a huge creepy house. This movie had a really creepy feel to it and it was Scary with incredible scenes. However the plot went into to many different directions. First The Wife Price Tries to savely kill her husband at the house. The Husband on the other hand tries to play a trick on his wife. And on top of all that the house is Really haunted.Read full review...

House on Haunted Hill (2000, DVD)

How far would you go for a million dollars? Would you spend the night in a haunted house? When twisted billionaire Stephen Price and his devilish wife, Evelyn, offer six strangers one million dollars each, there is only one rule to the game: they'll have to survive one night in a former mental institution, haunted by the ghosts of the inmates killed there, and an insane doctor who did unspeakable things... At first, everyone is having fun, thinking that the whole thing is a joke. But once the entire house automatically seals itself shut, they realize that this is no joke.

Love this remake of the original House on Haunted Hill (1959) with Vincent Price..
I'm not a fan of remakes but this one is great..

House on Haunted Hill DVD

I bought this movie because I had seen it numerous amounts of time on television and had never got to watch the whole movie. Plus, the price was great. I love horror and action films and this was a combination of the two. It was also a mystery type of movie. I loved the most of intenseness. I don't really like all the bad language. However, over all it was a great movie.Read full review...
