13 Ghosts - Not even worth a review

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

So our Netflix cue is split three ways : one for the dude who has the account, one for someone w\ no taste in movies, & me.

Someone w\ no taste in movies requested 13 Ghosts.

Crap. Crap. Crap & more crap. This is all. If you don't believe me, waste a few bucks renting it. Don't say you ain't been warned.

I actually liked that one alot. It's been one of the few horror movies that actually had me 'scared'. I ignored the whole thing about the building changing itself and stuff as being unrealistic. I liked the bad guys and stuff like that. I'd give this one a thumbs up.

What in the hell had you scared?

The extras in the DVD explaning each of the ghosts was actually more entertaining than the damned film.

I'll get the DVD if the movie had even slight redeeming value... but I have no desire to get this one. I guess that says something.

The whole "are they gonna get 'em?" thing. I thought the monsters were well done.

I've seen parts of "13 Ghosts" many many times when it when I had the premium channels.

It never held my interest. I'd flip to it every once in awhile, just to see what was happening.

I liked the idea of spells inscribed on the walls to keep the ghosts locked up. So some of the concepts were nice, but the movie didn't seem that watchable.
