Love this old horror movie
If the original 1959 version of House in Haunted Hill was run through a theme park ride and what came out the other side was sprinkled with whatever substance the early 2000s was made of, you’d get this.
Geoffrey Rush is (very appropriately) a theme park tycoon who hates his wife. Of course she hates him too. And, just like the 1959 original, they’re going to try to kill eachother at a party. The party, again, involves 5 total strangers as guests and a big cash prize if they make it through the night.
The whole thing reads like a theme park ride, flickering light tubes, insane asylum, some pretty nonsensical medical “equipment,” excessive CGI in places. But Rush turns in an excellent campy performance as a Vincent Price/carnival barker/showman type. That’s a type, right?
Witness the wonder of Famke Janssen dressed in a chinese brocade homecoming scoochy dress, topped off with embarrassing up-do and brow bone gel glitter. Doesn’t get much more early 2000s than that. Oh wait, yes it does. Ali Larter, Taye Diggs, and Chris Kattan are here too.
hared to believe its that old ! wow great movie i may do a watch party on it
I must thank you for reminding me about this film..
At the time some of the effects were very spooky.. I think of it as the Judderman effect, which I think was a TV advert for a drink around the same time that used the same type of effect.
This and
thir13en ghosts
are definitely worthy of my Made me Jump! - My Top Horror
4/5
