However in the end, this is a forgettable horror film, and is a remake that like so many others doesn't live up to the original. This is a mildly entertaining film that offers a decent viewing experience for horror fans. There are some tense moments here and there, but never anything really scary. However, in terms of good scares, like the original offered, this remake is fairly weak in offering good, effective scares. The film like I said offers plenty of gore and will appeal to gore fans. I very much enjoyed the original However this is pretty decent, considering the amount of bad horror remakes that came in the years following this films release. Blackburn - Stabbed to death by Evelyn with a scalpel. Watch Guard - Cranium ripped out by one of the spirits.

Melissa Marr - Super-jumpscared to death by the zombie. Nurse - Beaten to death by an inmate with a camera, body seen. Nurse - Drowned in a bathtub by an inmate. This isn't an awful remake, but it's nowhere near the original. Doctor - Impaled through the neck by an inmate with toothpicks. The cast are decent at best, with some questionable castings decisions such as Chris Kattan. S, if you love gory horror films, then this film is for you.

The film really doesn't offer anything that great, but is pretty gory. The film relies on the gore factor, and that's really the standout of the film. The film isn't as bad as other remakes, but it lacks the power of the original of course. For a horror remake, it's quite decent and entertaining. There was a time when it appeared there might be an onslaught of remakes plundered from the often fun, often risible filmography of B-movie director William Castle, as following the 1999 remake of House on Haunted Hill Hollywood allowed director Steven Beck to tackle the remake of the 1960 title Thir13en Ghosts.

The remake is not bad for what it is, and I've seen worse. The film has a decent enough cast and director William Malone crafts a chilling, gory ride with this remake. House on Haunted Hill is a 1999 American supernatural horror film directed by William Malone and starring Geoffrey Rush, Famke Janssen, Taye Diggs. The House on Haunted Hill remake is a decent remake of a classic film. In this thriller based on the 1958 horror film, five people agree to spend the night in a haunted house in exchange for one million dollars.
