Growing up I remember watching this movie wondering "whose bright idea was it to put Owen Wilson in a horror movie." Watching this film 20 years from its initial release I must regretfully admit that it was his role that carried this movie because it sure wasn't the story that kept the viewers attention. It was a movie filled with cheap thrills constantly mocking the competence of the audience. Don't get me wrong I think there are some simple strokes of genius to this film but nothing to save the lack there of a story.
I am rating this a 6/10 because I just don't think it is a movie that really has anything going for it, and if you are looking for a haunted mansion type of film I would simply recommend Rose Red. I mean they had Owen Wilson and Liam Neeson how can you mess that up? If it wasn't for them I would probably rate this film even lower.
