Considering that this film was made during the relative infancy of CGI in movies and it uses CGI quite a lot it actually looks quite good. But it doesn’t look as good as the sets! The sets really are amazing, possibly the best practical setsConsidering that this film was made during the relative infancy of CGI in movies and it uses CGI quite a lot it actually looks quite good. But it doesn’t look as good as the sets! The sets really are amazing, possibly the best practical sets in any movie, certainly in a haunted house movie. The dark gothic vibe is great and really enjoyable to watch. Sadly though it is let down by only an average story, below average writing and inappropriate casting. The acting and direction are good but not enough to really make this anything more than slightly above average overall. Not as memorable as Thir13en Ghosts (2001) which admittedly is a totally different film but also not as good as other family horror films Nightbooks (2021) and The Hole (2009). Certainly worth watching.… Expand
