    I'm not easy to scare. And this movie didn't scare me but what it did do is make me think of how desperate moviemakers are to get you to be scared. Too much gore and disturbing images but what do you expect from the director of Fear dot com.

    The horrors of Haunted Hill might have worked for children, but sadly the true horror here is how ridiculous, rickety and perplexing the twist is, and despite the successful, seductive performance by Janssen, this gothic B-movie is a nauseating waste of time.

    Contains too little of the original's campy spirit and too many whistles, bells, explosions and screams.

    Low-budget, high-camp.

    The kind of horror movie that's not a bit scary and quite a bit gross.
