If
MTV
horror
is
your
bag
o'
bones,
then
look
no
further.
In
this
remake
of
a
1960
William
Castle
flick,
a
nephew
inherits
his
eccentric
dead
uncle's
house.
The
man
is
down
on
his
luck
with
two
kids
after
his
wife
tragically
died
in
a
house
fire.
Thinking
it's
the
answer
to
their
prayers
moving
into
the
house,
they
are
in
fact
part
of
the
ludicrous
scheme
to
set
an
evil
mechanism
in
motion.
This
is
just
too
ridiculous,
from
the
elaborate
house
to
the
glasses
used
to
see
ghosts.
The
wide
spook
variety
is
fun,
but
dumb.
Some
sequences
are
visually
vibrant
and
vivid.
The
biggest
star
here
is
the
elaborate
house
with
its
glass
walls
and
ancient
writing
sandblasted
onto
it;
the
design
is
magnificent,
but
the
story
and
performances
pathetic.
Even
the
poster
design
is
better
than
the
movie.
