Negative Positive
Title: Nice effects, production design, that's about it.
Review: Tony Shalhoub is a widower who inherits a giant, glass house from his recently deceased Uncle. Everything's great for him and his family, except the place is inhabited by ghosts! Dark Castle's second haunted house thriller features some very gruesome ghosts (particularly Shawna Loyer as the Angry Princess), a neat sliced-in-half gore effect, and an energetic performance from Matthew Lillard, but this movie isn't nearly as enjoyable as its previous venture (House on Haunted Hill), thanks to Steve Beck's unbelievably headache-inducing direction, a silly plot that actually "borrows" scenes straight from Blade and Casper(!), and the utter predictability and sickeningly sappy "love conquers all" theme.
