Reviews: Lush production design and sparkling special effects make "The Haunted Mansion" pretty to look at. Terence Stamp ("The Limey"), as a malevolent ghost of a butler, provides a suitable air of menace as dematerializes to and fro. Marsha Thomason ("Black Knight") is lovely as a real estate agent hired to sell a haunted mansion, but in truth the ghostly owner of the mansion believes she is the reincarnation of his lost love. Wallace Shawn ("My Dinner with Andre") and Dina Waters ("Six Feet Under") make a modestly amusing comic pair as a ghostly husband and wife who bustle about. Jennifer Tilly ("Bound"), as a green disembodied head in a crystal ball, glitters appropriately. The movie also features endless clichés, futile attempts at humor, and Eddie Murphy. If you're looking for a movie based on a Disneyland ride, try the very clever "Pirates of the Caribbean" instead. "--Bret Fetzer" |
