Simien has created a thoughtful movie experience that feels diverse, funny and visually interesting. Those expecting an exact recreation of the ride won’t find it here, which may be for the best. Despite a few cartoon-y scenes, Simien and his cast elevate Haunted Mansion to a thoroughly entertaining and oddly emotional good time. Read full review

Family-friendly, spooky fun with surprising emotional heft and an ensemble cast clearly having a ball. Read full review

Maureen Lee Lenker

Much like its namesake, Haunted Mansion is an enjoyable, if somewhat sedate experience that is more spooky diversion than thrill ride. Read full review

Gregory Nussen

The film handily invokes the campiness of the iconic Disneyland attraction, if not its kinetics. Read full review

Waffling Disney can’t decide if it wants this thing to be a quirky and fun but unsettling movie like “Beetlejuice,” with some real guts and creativity, or another schlocky ad for a Disney World FastPass. At times Simien’s film is surprisingly dark and emotionally honest, while at others it’s kitschier than “The Country Bear Jamboree.” Read full review

[Simien] keeps things moving along, more or less, and the appealing cast hit their marks, but it’s dispiriting to see him directing what is effectively a feature-length Disney promotion. I hope it’s his last big-studio ad. Read full review

A movie like Haunted Mansion is always going to be, at its heart, a cinematic advertisement for the theme park, but couldn’t we at least run with that idea and make it fun? Read full review

I adored this rendition of the Haunted Mansion! I have to admit that I also really loved Eddie Murphy's version but this one was refreshingly different and I loved Ben Matthias especially.

I have to admit that I also really loved Eddie Murphy's version but this one was refreshingly different and I loved Ben Matthias especially. Having a character with the kind of skepticism displayed in him being the hero is both funny and refreshing to see. Owen Wilson was a great supporting actor in this movie as well and Rosario did excellently as she always does. It does not disappoint but throwing in a few great cameos and an excellently put-together storyline made it purely fun and entertaining. Our whole family really loved this one and I will definitely be recommending it to others as a new movie for families and those who like a gothic story here and there!… Expand

A super fun flick that fans of the rides will enjoy. It enriches those things you love about the ride and is just a fun movie with a lot of heart. Devito and Wilson steal the show as always. I honestly don't understand the criticism for it. It is so much better than the Eddie Murphy version.

I loved how they incorporated aspects from the original film into this one. Green screen visuals were a bit obvious at times but it had great character and LaKeith was an absolute standout!

It’s just so long and scenes happen seemingly at random. I don’t hate the Eddie Murphy version, but improving on it shouldn’t have been to hard; they failed.

"What if made a bad movie based on a theme park ride?"

Don't do that.

"Okay, but what if we made a REMAKE of a bad movie based on a theme park ride?"

Disney please, stop. Haunted Mansion 2023 can't decide if it wants to be a comedy or a horror and ends up being terrible at both.

I would be able to recommend this movie if Bob Iger would pay his staff a livable wage and wasn't trying to literally demonize them while secretly trying to ruin them as well.

Bob Iger hates the fact that people are vilifying him over his 'counter offer' to the union, which was just the old offer. In order to pay the demands of the unions on strike, Bob would need to allocate around 1% of the annual profits the massively successful studio makes. Bob Iger is just an L walking in a suit held up by sheer incompetence, AI could actually do his job better for significantly cheaper.… Expand
