HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL 1999 TRAILER MOVIE

IвЂ™d also like to see this one release don bluray soon seeing that its sequel has already been batched onto to 3 movies in one releases. IвЂ™d love to see Kattan take on more roles in this vein as his erratic acting style was a hoot to watch. The star power behind this one much overshadowed its sequel with a higher quality of acting (and playfulness for that matter). I am sticking with my impression which was that House on Haunted HillвЂќ was hella fun to watch and entertaining. As astute viewers might also recognize a similar feel and storyline to вЂњThirteen GhostsвЂќ.

I tend to believe that the production company вЂњark CastleвЂќ is also a movie style that is either loved or hated. On that note, the film was not entirely embraced by horror audiences despite it also securing fans of its production (such as myself). Its weakest point seems to be the 3rd act which resorts to CGI scares that feel CGI. Visually rich and other times just appropriately jarring, вЂњHOHHвЂќ is sort of a roller coaster ride itself. It is a mixture with fantastic set designs that correlate perfectly with these events. However the events of the night roll out quite differently unleashing the weird and jittery elements within the asylum upon all. Price with the aid of a few others begins the night with booby traps in place. The security gate are tripped, forcing everyone to spend the night whether they want to or not. The house which has been pre-rigged with devices intended to spook the invites begins to show its true colors and the вЂњdarkness вЂњthat the location holds. Fun fact: Singer Lisa Loeb provides a reporter cameo. Watson Pritchett is the acting owner of the location played by the hilariously-ackward-serious style e acting of Chris Kattan (of whom IвЂ™ll admit that this being one of my favorite roles heвЂ™s played). The cast which really provides a fantastic base of acting talent includes: Watson Pritchett (Chris Kattan), Melissa Margaret Marr (Bridgette Wilson), Jennifer Jenzen (Ali Larter), Eddie Baker (Taye Diggs), and Dr. Fancying a party atmosphere, 5 invites show up, (who were not on the list) welcomed regardless, with the offer of $1 million to each who can spend the night and survive until morning. Stephen Price (Geoffrey Rush) deemed an вЂњamusement park mogulвЂќ devises a invitation-only scenario with the assistance of his spoiled sour wife Evelyn Stockard-Price (Famke Janssen) at the abandoned building. Which brings us to the challenge at hand. Speaking of, вЂњHOHHвЂќ provides a perfect setting for a special effects driven spook show with plenty of shaky head demons and vengeful spirits floating around claiming lives and scaring the crap out of everyone else. Though the event left many deceased setting the stage for a variety of lost souls and eerie haunts to remain within its cold walls. Closed in 1931 after an outbreak and patient riot, the building was better equipped with iron gates and lock down procedures. Those jittery images, stop motion rope segments and creepy little micro images welcoming us into this fun little haunt of a piece.ДЇollowing in the old school trend of setting us up for a haunted location long abandoned, (but still ripe for a challenge) we are introduced to the asylum, the вЂњVannacutt Psychiatric Institute for the Criminally InsaneвЂќ formally under the mad controversial experimentation leadership of Dr. It was very appropriate for the times when title sequences were really receiving alot of press and focus. You can feel Dark CastleвЂ™s influence if we mention 2 of their other вЂњlaterвЂќ films вЂњHouse of WaxвЂќ and вЂњ Thirteen GhostsвЂњ.ДЇor starters, I really canвЂ™t review this film without mentioning вЂњthatвЂќ ultra cool intro title sequence created by the equally cool title sequence company, вЂњThe Picture MillвЂќ. Now directed by William Malone вЂњHOHHвЂќ was a flag ship debut under Dark Castle Entertainment. With a hipper cast of celebrities, a much more impressive load of special effects, and a comedic tone slammed up against its horror base, вЂњHOHHвЂќ was promised as quite a package. вЂњHouse on Haunted HillвЂќ is a 1999 remake of the William Castle film by the same name that debuted in 1959.

I canвЂ™t express as much enthusiasm on the sequel (Return to House on Haunted Hill), but as a viewer, (and at the time of seeing this in theatres) it just held all the right elements that I found entertaining. The movie вЂњ House on Haunted HillвЂќ has always been a guilty pleasure for me.

A millionaire offers a group of diverse people $1,000,000 to spend the night in a haunted house with a horrifying past.
