House On Haunted Hill

Steven Price (a very hammy Rush) is a wealthy amusement park owner who invites several strangers to his shrewish wife's birthday party, this year held in the abandoned Vannacutt Institute for the Mentally Insane. There, he offers a prize of one million dollars to each party-goer who can spend the entire night in the creepy and cavernous building. As Mr. and Mrs. Price play a bitter game of cat and mouse, the guests begin to think there are more ominous forces at work, especially after the body count begins to creep higher and higher. A remake of the 1958 low-budgeter starring Vincent Price.

Starring Taye Diggs, Peter Gallagher, Chris Kattan, Famke Janssen, Geoffrey Rush, Bridgette Wilson, Jeffrey Combs, Max Perlich, Ali Larter, Dick Beebe, Lisa Loeb, Peter Graves

    sweet dreams

    Firstly Marilyn Manson's classic cover of 'Sweet dreams' just adds that touch of spookyness to this film. The whole film is a rollercoaster of thrills & jumps, strongly recommend any horror films to rent this film.
