The Haunted Mansion

Eddie Murphy stars in this spooky, CGI-packed Disney film, based on the famous Disney World attraction. He plays Jerry, a workaholic estate agent who interrupts his family's vacation to check out a remote mansion that's for sale. But soon he and his family are trapped in the haunted house and are screaming for their lives. Terence Stamp is the ghost butler, and Nathaniel Parker is the ghost owner who falls for Jerry's wife, Sara (Marsha Thomason), believing she is the reincarnation of his lost love and providing for both a refreshingly interracial, and frighteningly inter-dimensional romance. Jennifer Tilly has a great bit as a loudmouthed head in the crystal ball; Wallace Shawn and Dina Walters are the ghost servants. Zombies rise up from their graves to attack the living, but generally the film is harmless kid stuff that is bursting with cheerful colour, noise, bloodless shocks and refreshingly bathroom-free humour. Fans of the ride should be pleased, as it hits nearly every bump, from the barbershop quartet busts, to the ghostly passenger in the coach. Murphy hams it up royally and the rest of the cast is up for the challenge, especially Stamp, whose droll line readings provide a perfect balance of menace and mirth. Makeup maestro Rick Baker provided the non-CGI special effects.

    • Yet another Disney film based on a theme park attraction; as an advertisement for the ride, it's a failure, as a movie, it's insufferable.

    Del Toro taking movie audiences on a tour of Disney's Haunted Mansion

    • 24 Jul 2010

    Fantasy director Guillermo Del Toro has been tapped to turn Disney's chilling theme park ride Haunted Mansion into a new 3D movie. The Pan's Labyrinth filmmaker will co-write the screenplay and direct and produce the live-action The Haunted Mansion. It will be Disney's second attempt to take film audiences on a tour of the horror property - Eddie Murphy starred in a supernatural comedy also called The Haunted Mansion in 2003. But Del Toro's project will have no connection to the Murphy movie... Read more
