Haunted Mansion is based on the popular theme ride and is about a mother and son who move into a haunted house and need help to get rid of ghosts. The movie stars LaKeith Stanfield, Rosario Dawson, Owen Wilson, Tiffany Haddish, Danny DeVito, Chase Dillon, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Jared Leto.

I enjoyed Haunted Mansion. I was not a fan of the original movie that came out in 2003. This was more what I was looking for from the original one. Haunted Mansion has a stellar cast of characters. They all do a good job. It has a solid story. I felt the original movie felt a little hollow. I did not feel that way about this version. It seemed to have more heart. The movie has a lot more ghosts this time around and it is spookier. It was spooky fun which I felt the original lacked a lot of. I think what helped this movie was the fact it is PG-13. It is darker but still has humor and is still fun for the whole family.

Haunted Mansion gets dark at times, but I think that helps make the film good. I also feel there is better character development. I wish the film came out in the fall instead. It seems it would have benefited from opening during the Halloween season.

Haunted Mansion is a fun spooky movie that has heart and a good story. It has fun characters and a lot of ghosts. I can see this become a classic in time similar to Hocus Pocus.
