Shannon Elizabeth, four years after being raped to death by a mutant snowman - see (upcoming) review of Jack Frost at this blog - this time in Thir13en Ghosts another horny ghost/demon is after her.
My question is; who can blame him/them?
I´ve been violated (on movie) by demons and shit before hihi
First I wanna make sure that everyone gets this, Thir13en Ghosts is a PG13 horror movie, made for the ”MTV generation ”, it isn´t scary at all, nor is it a good movie. But still I love to watch it.
The Kriticos family have inherit a house made of glass from their super wealthy anchestor Curys ( F. Murray Abraham ). What they do not know - and this ain´t no spoiler becouse the movie starts with it - is that their uncle have collected 12 ghosts in different rooms. Soon they will all be free and poor (?) Kathy Kriticos (Shannon Elizabeth) is being attacked by The Jackal.
Matthew Lillard from Scream and Embeth Davidtz from Evil dead 3 has some important roles and by putting them both into this movie, we are made sure that this is indeed a fun ” scary ” ghost movie..beside that Shannon Elizabeth is in it then (Shannon is also in the remake of Night of the demons).
So the Kriticos moves in to the house made out of glass after Curys lawyer have given them the key. The house is built, beside out of glass, like a maze a gigantic puzzlebox. It takes no genius to understand that in the box or the house, the 12 ghosts are hidden. Wait a minute, the title is 13 ghosts and there are 12 ghost captured in the house. So where and who is the 13th?
Kathy Bobbie and Maggie
The ghosts can only be seen via specialglasses, a nice idea wich makes it more ”scary”. It also is some kind of tribute to the original movie who was made in 3D - so the audience had to wear glasses.
Kathy tries the magic glasses on and
what the????
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIH!!!
However, the most "scary" thing is the totaly annoying kid Bobby. It takes only 5 seconds of your time to get really upset by him. So keep that in mind if you wanna watch this movie, if you allready haven´t, wich I´m quite sure the most of you allready have.
The entire movie tries to rely on fast flashing images and monstrous (loud) sound effects.
It also pay a tribute to Stanley Kubrick´s The shining; Bobby on his kickbike going across the halls in the house - as Danny did with his tricycle in the shining.
Bobbie doing the "Danny thingy"
Most people who have seen this though did it becouse Shannon stars in it and that is basicly the (only) reason to see this. As mentioned above, she gets attacked by The Jackal. We can disguss/argue for what reason, and how she is attacked by the Jackal, but let´s face it Thir13en Ghosts is a movie that doesn´t take itself to serious. So all we can do is to sit back and enjoy the frenzy of the Jackal being displayd on sexy young Kathy.
The attack on Kathy
Maggie (Rah Digga) is the typical comic relief character with a bunch of oneliners such as ” Did the lawyer split? ”
Thir13en Ghosts is made in the same style as the remake of House of wax, they both has Joel Silver as a producer as well did Swordfish him as a producer. So if you are into loud PG13 horror movies or simply enjoy to see Shannon Elizabeth getting her clothes ripped apart, this movie is a good solid watch.
Did I mention Shannoon getting attacked by The Jackal? I think I did….
