when i first hear that eddie murphy be go to star in the haunt mansion and i be initially disappointed . a a former intern at disney world and a a haunted mansion fan and i want a more serious and scary look at the story that surround this awesome attraction . but then i think that there be so many haunt house movie recently that have bomb ( the haunting and house on haunt hill ) and a light and more comedic approach to the haunt mansion may be good . and i think that be the case here . it not necessarily the scary movie out there or the funny and but there a good mix of both to make this a good and unique movie for family . honestly and i can not think of any other movie out there that combine a horror type genre with the family genre . when i saw this in the theater and pack full of family and people laugh and gasp and and clap at the end . the tie ins to the ride be nice too . from the beginning of the film and i enjoy the ominous organ music that whisk me back to the ride . the singing bust be awesome and and jennifer tilly do a great job a madame leota . and i do not really need to mention that the special effect be mighty impressive . nevertheless and this movie isn not a perfect one . the story wasn not the most intriguing a i find myself bore at time and and the acting be kind of stiff and rigid ( unintentionally by the evers family ) . all in all and though and this be a good family movie that unlike any other movie out there . my imdb rating represent positive . my yahoo . grade represent b ( good ) .
