the haunt mansion get a lot of bomb throw at it by critic and and almost nobody like it . well and guess what represent i do . it a faithful homage to the ride and the actor be interesting and and the horror side of the story be appropriately creepy . the plot be partially base on the french version of the ride and and it decent . although the movie never answer the question of why master gracey ( nathaniel parker and who really good here ) couldn not marry his sweetheart elizabeth ( who be black ) and the hint be pretty obvious . and i like the whole concept of the curse ( even though it doesn not make any sense ) . the little nod to the ride throughout the movie be fun and especially jennifer tilly a madame leota and a disembodied head inside a crystal ball who speak in riddle . tilly can do this husky voice role in her sleep and and i like her ( the special effect involve her be pretty neat too ) . although eddie murphy be miscast and and there be zero laugh in the movie and his mugging for the camera doesn not hurt the movie . the kid be ok and and marsha thomason do what she can with a thankless role and but it terence stamp who steal the movie . he be ramsley and the sinister butler of master gracey . with his deep rumbling british accent and stamp give a deliciously over the top performance and and he do here what johnny depp do for pirate of the caribbean . back to eddie murphy for a minute represent although he earn no laugh and he play noncomedic scene well and and he have some good banter with stamp . the production design of the mansion and the ghostly special effect be very cool and particularly a zombie attack that push the pg rating to it limit . be the haunted mansion a great movie . absolutely not while they could have punch up the comedy aspect of the movie . it not a bad movie and though . i think it be very entertaining and and it certainly well than the awful trailer . not as good a pirate and but a fun ride nonetheless .
