Going to a horror movie and getting a scratch card where you can win a credit to Blockbuster is the most 90’s thing I’ve heard in a long time.
There’s definitely parts of this film that scared the hell out of me as a kid watching this. Underrated for sure.
always had a weird soft spot for this remake. walked in on my dad watching it when i was a kid. the scene where the technician is turned around and his face is missing scared the hell outta me.
I loved the OG House on Haunted Hill and love this one- it maintains the spirit of the original while still using modern technology to achieve things that weren't possible back then. Geoffrey Rush is the only person who could fill the shoes of Vincent Price.
I stumbled onto the original on youtube maybe 6 years ago i loved it, yes some of the dialogue was campy and frankly … plot points and logic fall apaprt on repeat viewings but it was such a different vibe and atmosphere and i thought it was cheesy and over the top and in some places laughably unscary and just silly but yeah its great
Yeah agreed. I didn't like the Haunting remake. But I can still rewatch this one anytime.
Lol nobody can match price
@@joshuawidener8407 he's the greatest! All class, a sweet, delightful person, who knew how to scare the shit out of all of us.
@@ScientificallyStupid you should check out the Canadian horror sketch show he did for children. Dude was awesome. He could have did anything with his career at that point but he went a did a children's show. I love it
Love this movie. One of my favorite guilty pleasures. This, Demon knight, Popcorn, Critters, Blair Witch 2, TCM 2. The Relic, Fraility, It 1990, Movies that I know most don't care for but I love them. I always watch this every few years.
Dude, Popcorn! That's a movie I haven't seen in nigh 30 years! Oh man I gotta rewatch that one.
Great line-up, but you forgot Killer Clowns From Outer Space, People Under The Stairs, In The Mouth of Madness, Brainscan, Event Horizon and The Gate.
Your list 🖤
Blair witch 2 is a guilty pleasure of mine too lol
@@mars1072 People Under The Stairs is one of my favorite movies!
This is one of my favorite horror movies. The practical effects are top notch
Definitely one of dark castles better entries and I love the mixture of over the top campiness with genuine moments of Horror. The scene where that reporter confronts Phantom Shakyface for the first time scared the s*** out of me in the theater.
I love the remake just as much as the William Castle original. The cast were awesome, especially Jeffrey Rush. The opening credits & score was chilling.
Couldn't agree more. Jeffrey Rush IS THE MOVIE
The sets were amazing and I loved the flashbacks to the inmates taking over the hospital.
This movie freaked me and my girlfriend out back in 2001 when I finally got to watch it. The scene with the doctor in the camera footage was the creepiest and most unforgettable part of this movie. The end I felt was rushed, I never understood how they got down from the roof. Corky Romano was bad but Chris Kattan didn't deserve that fate.
This film terrified me as a kid. To this day I still find it downright creepy with some really decent storytelling, plot, set design, acting, soundtrack etc. I feel it is very underrated and deserves more praise than the slander it sometimes gets.
Loved this film when it first came out and I still watch it every Halloween. Geoffrey Rush and Chris Kattan being over the top just made this film that much better. It still holds up.
Underrated flick , I walked out of the theater smiling with my scratch card in hand. Love to see this one re-edited and utilizing cut scenes.
Jeffrey Combs is one of the most underrated actors ever . He can make any movie ( at least his parts ) good if not great just by being in them . That aside I loved this movie upon release and still do today , I watch it every Halloween. As far as the surge of remake's at the time I thought this was by far one of the best one's.
I watched this movie when I was a kid, probably too young, along with 13 Ghosts and I remember them actually scaring me. It says a lot because I’ve always laughed at most horror movies trying to be scary.
I’m not a horror fan but this and 13 like you mentioned have always gone hand and hand for me.
this movie was so brilliant...Rush played a character that was one part Vincent Price, one part Walt Disney, with a bit of John Waters on the side. the rorshach demon was a nice play on the whole "hive mind" thing,.....and the black guy lived!
I went with a group of friends to see this in high school and it terrified me. I watched it again with my husband about a month ago and it still creeps me out. I definitely had nightmares that night.
Whatever you think of the movie, it has one of the creepiest opening credits sequence ever. It's like the American Horror Story Freakshow sequence.
The original movie rocked. Vincent Price is the Master of scare. I saw this movie and loved it too. The actors did a great job with the remake. So cool!
I watched in when it came out, it was fun and scary and I absolutely loved the ghosts. And the great Sweet Dreams cover by Manson made it even better.
I always thought millennials loved this one. also Chris Kattan deserved a better movie career, I’m glad he got a shout out in Nope.
I watched this movie when I was really young and it terrified the hell out of me. I still enjoy this movie today with its very creepy/disturbing imagery. But the original is still such a classic. Both are very fun to watch to watch with friends
The way the ghosts move in this movie scared the crap outta me when I saw it lol. Freaking love this movie
This movie scared the ever living shit out of me as a kid, and I still get uneasy any time they go into the huge basement
Saw this in the theater back in 99 and I had a great time with it. That would've been awesome to get something like a scratch off or whatever but my theater didn't give us anything like that. But when it comes to the movie itself I really enjoyed that opening credit sequence, the limo arrival scene and countless other scenes that were nods to the original along with the interesting set pieces. I loved the cast also especially Rush & Combs. The score is very underrated honestly. It fits perfectly with the movie. I'm a really big fan of the original William Castle movie so when I went to see the remake I went in wanting it to just be fun and it definitely delivered that for me. Dated cgi effects aside, I think overall the movie works as a solid piece of horror entertainment that knows exactly what it wants to be while having the spirit of the original at it's core.
Same here I've seen it back then too. I love the neo noir femme Fatale that famke Jensen brought to the film.
I found this randomly on DVD at my local library and have loved it ever since. I didn't know it was a remake then and had never heard of most of the cast. All I knew was that it gave me a nightmare that night, which I consider the mark of really good horror. There's something about this movie that feels... almost evil. I agree that parts of the plot don't work, but that doesn't change the fact that it feels otherworldly.
I had my first real date at this movie. It ended well. We later used the blockbuster credit to rent a Scooby Doo movie for her little sisters, which gave us time alone. That also ended well. This movie will ALWAYS be in my top ten
I loved this movie! Saw it at the cinema, and still watch it every once in a while on DVD.
I am today years old when I found out it has a sequel! 😮
I always like this movie mainly for Geoffrey Rush as Vincent Price. Knowing the character was initially based on John Waters, and not Vincent Price. makes perfect sense in retrospect as his take could be seen as a happy merger of the two.
Also, I never forgot that scene where he turns the chair around. You know the one. That was unexpected and really sold the stakes of the film.
Everything about the movie expertly threaded that needle between camp and horror.
I like how you acknowledge that the CGI, while dates, is appropriate if you are in the right frame of mind. I'll never fault a movie for bad CGI that was close to state of the art at the time the movie was made, not even Lawnmower Man (there are plenty of other reasons to hate that movie).
I know it's probably heresy, but I like the remake better than the original. I did love the twist of the original which is why I was genuinely shocked when the evil was real in the remake. If I'm being honest, I prefer The Tingler.
Loved this movie first time saw it and still do. The characters were enjoyable. Raw moment for me being creeped out(and ive watched tons of horror movies) - when the Doctor oddly walks, then turns to the camera with the head shake creeped me out hardcore.
The bizarre twitch shudder movement like that scares the SHIT out of me 😓
Yes! I watched this when I was 12 when it came out and wow! That messed me up for years
It reallly sucked what happened to Pritchett at the end because he was killed AND his soul was stuck in eternal torture with the darkness. Not the best reward for a good guy.
I remember seeing this in theater and it freaked me out. The surgery scene with the camcorder, and any scene with the doctor freaked me out 😂
Yep same.
I am in the camp of loving it when it released and loving it today.
The jerky movement of vannacutt still creeps me out. Rush's performance, as always, was top notch!
My Mom is a huge fan of Vincent Price. I remember her picking this up while we were at, BLOCKBUSTER...
She was really interested in the fact it was a remake. And that it had Geoffrey Rush in it. We watched it together. And my 11 year old self was thankfully, very scared while watching (yes, I wanted to be scared). My Mom loved it as well. It became one of those movies we'd watched every once and awhile. This, Thirteen Ghosts, and Ghost Ship make up Dark Castle's best work. A Dark Castle Trilogy if you will.
5:57 I never noticed that goof before, the sugar glass that the drinking glass it made from is so fragile that the glass shatters before it even leaves his hand when being slapped out of it.
I always liked the "Is it price doing this?" IS it the ghosts? Is it the wife doing this? mystery
This was actually my first HoHH and i went back to VPs. Love them both!!!
This is an excellent example of how to do a remake: take the original concept and do something new with it.
Really really enjoying your content sir..super interesting and insightful..you can tell how much work you put into the videos..so major credit to you..
Oh and also I kinda even enjoyed the sequel tbh..the idea of the the building being alive..with flesh was a cool idea to me..
This movie is by far Chris Kattan's finest movie role. Seriously it was over the top but it fit the story and he had some of the best lines and it wasn't how he normally acts. I mean I did enjoy him as Mr Feather in Undercover brother but yeah this is my favorite role by him.
Thanks for the video!! See you later!! Stay safe. Do "WTF HAPPENED TO Hollow Man?!"
Seen this is the theaters back in ‘99. Right from the opening credits sequence I remember thinking, “oh we’re in for a treat!”
I absolutely loved this movie. I was too young when it hit theaters. I found it on DVD and watched it back to back once I did. I hunted down every Dark Castle film after viewing this one.
I adore this channel and the videos. Always high quality, professional, and informative. But this particular narrator always puzzles me. He makes the oddest choices on where to place pauses, stops, and emphasis.
I always thought it was funny how a ghost (s) know how to use a computer, but then again it was a Mac.
This is such a good movie. It's such a creepy nightmare of a film. One of my favourite things to watch every halloween.
This and the original movie are guilty pleasures of mine to watch in October. It was sad this got lost in the shuffle of the Phantom Menace hype ...
I thought this was a great movie! It really does feel like an update and a labor of love.
Both are great movies and celebrate their own time periods.
Also Geoffrey Rush is hilarious
This film is a blast, and it’s one of the better late 90s horror flicks.
I love this movie so much. That’s all I have to say.
I loved this movie from the get go. I was surprised to find out it had such a bad rep. It gave me some genuine scares, the backstory is creepy and cool, the cast is stacked..the opening scene is fun
I'm glad it's getting some love
Outstanding film. Definitely a Halloween night must-watch right along with '13 Ghosts'.
Exactly.
@@bezoticallyyours83 😁👍
Gotta add this to my Halloween party viewing. It's in my collection, just haven't watched it for a few years. Definitely love having a few beers and cracking jokes at this movie. The make up looked awesome, literally the worst part is the CGI, but it also has some of the coolest scenes.
Not gonna lie, I enjoyed the absolute hell out of this movie back in the day. Mind you, I was 14 at the time, so do with that what you will.
I loved this one back then and I still do.
I really got into this movie for some insane moments of horror. Some of them still stick in my head today. The thing that frustrated me was outside you'd see this massive structure but once they got inside it felt like there was a main floor with a decent basement and a small attic, it felt so damn small. I guess the CGI big bad was rough to deal with. I couldn't even make out what was going on with it cuz it was trying to be 3D but was very 2D.
In the top 10 horror remakes of all time IMO.
I just realized I was only 8 when I went to go see this at the budget theater lol.
I saw this in the theaters. Bought it on VHS and later on disc. Watch it a couple times a year. Love it!🤘
I loved this back in the day & I still love this now.
This is a great film! I absolutely love the reverse to forward effect they did for the doctor.
I remember watching this in theater with my dad and friend and I was like 10. Scared the shit out of me, especially when Bridgette Wilson gets killed by the ghosts in the basement. Now at 35, horror movies don’t get me like they used to 😅
Besides a couple of imperfections like the dark one's bland CGI, this movie is just amazing in atmosphere, music, adventure, horror and it's just fun!
William Malone was a true fan and a dedicated filmmaker. This remake, even at ten years too late, makes me think about the best remakes of the '80's like "The Fly", "The Thing" and "The Blob"... all made by filmmaker's who respected the material although this one was more in line with the fun William Castle put in his genre work. Thank you for making the point. And what a cast. But I wish that Dark Castle could have continued on to do a remake of "The Tingler" directed by David Cronenberg.
Thank-you 💞
Taye Diggs, not Ty. Unless I just heard you wrong. Great vid as always.
I love this movie so much. We watch it pretty often. Chris Kattan's lines are great. The whole cast is fantastic.
Honestly, I prefer this to the OG, though to be honest, the two films are different enough that it's not fair to compare them either.
This is also one of the few Chris Kattan roles I actually like, he stepped outside of his usual element quite a bit here.
I loved the story of the massive haunted asylum built on a cliff and abandoned for decades. Yeah it was cheesy but it did have some jump scares and a good ending!
This movie is a late '90s blast! All of the stars are on the brink of their big breaks! The soundtrack is good. The scares are brutal. Yes the CGI has not dated very well. But I love the hatred between the married couple. And some great creature design. This is a nasty little number and is not afraid to be brutal and bizarre.
Loved this movie when it came out. In my 20s I just kind of dismissed it as dumb. I’ve come back around to I recently and find it fun with some pretty cool visuals and entertaining set designs.
I saw this one in my teenage years when I tried ( _and failed_ ) to get used to watching horrors alone. It's a good one.
I will praise the ghost at the end because after I saw the Japanese horror movie from the 80's ( _which was turned into an NES game and inspiration for Resident Evil_ ) Sweet Home, this ghost shares many similarities with Lady Mamiya in how it kills it's victims. I can't help but to feel that _The House on the Haunted Hill_ was inspired by that. If you don't know what I'm talking about, CZcams it!
I've not yet seen the original but, this video had a "recommended" to the original so I guess I'll watch that soon!
Thirteen Ghosts is also a great one and the line " _I guarantee Nothing!_ " is solid gold.
Ghost Ship is also a very nice one.
I watched this movie when I was about 11. My parent had gone out to dinner and I thought I would be brave. At the part where she sees the doctors performing surgery through the camera, I was done. I didn’t sleep that night.
The way the doctor moves in the cameras scared the fuck out of me as a kid
Loved it then, still love it now.
Never realised the doctor was Re-Animator!
Love this movie. The original wasn't too shabby either. Although I have no idea how the Pryces stayed longer then 2 weeks together, let alone got married.
1999 House on Haunted Hill always makes it way in to my October rotation. It's a fun horror film
loved this one
Really enjoyed the original, but loved this one even more! It really is just plain fun! I love just about all horror from that time 😊
Im in my 30s and I love this version.
I was 13 when it came out and 14 when the home video came out, I watched it alone and as a teen it scared me more than the exorcist (which I thought was funny) and that opening scene in the asylum is one of my favourite horror openings
I've seen this film back in the theaters in 99. Still remember that don davis score.
I love this remake and its easily one of the better horror remakes.
I worked at Hollywood Video and...acquired a copy. My and my friend loved it! It's fun and fine!
When I was a kid, this movie scared the shit out of me...
If they were to remake the 1999 film House on Haunted Hill ,I think one actor that should be added to this cast in a main role is David Harbour (Stranger Things).
Living in Orlando at the time, it was really cool to see the opening scene filmed at (at the time brand new) Universal Islands of Adventure
I think this movie was amazingly effective, in that it is sensationally scary at times.
I adore that film. One of my first introductions to horror. Think I was about ten
This movie terrified me as a kid. I couldn’t sleep for days.
The ghosts moving in a jittery, wrong way really bothered me at 15. Which I imagine was the point, just the whole idea they were moving in a way people aren't supposed to move.
Yes the CGI was not great, but the film was great. Loved it.
And thank you for posting this.
I miss Blockbuster it was fun to go somewhere and pick out a movie . ... it was just something to do on a day when your bored
OMG WTF! :) Always been a favorite I love everything about it especially the great chemistry between Steven and Evelyn! Awesome soundtrack too! Definitely ages well!
"and a few other familiar faces"
Lol, it would take one more sentence to introduce Peter Gallagher and Bridgette Wilson.
I've noticed this movie never comes up in discussions of horror and that's just sad.
cool review, i remember the movie being corny as hell but it was fun to watch as a teenager. Also the the reviewer kinda sounds like norm macdonald lol.
This one, 13 Ghosts, Ghost Ship, Demon Knight, and Gothika. The late 1990s and early 2000s were great
I wonder if anyone stood up at the wrong moment to go to the bathroom and accidentally got hit in the head by a plastic skeleton foot?
I remember seeing this in the theatre as a Junior in HS. I enjoyed it.
Randomly, I remember watching this and end of days back to back on Christmas Eve. Still love both those movies. Always thought this was a great cheesey movie, never knew people hated it 🤷
Whaaaat I've loved this movie since I was a kid. Classic weird imagery and a fun cast.
