A family inherits an elegant steel-and-glass mansion from a deceased relative. The catch is that along with the house comes a slew of ghosts that can be seen only through special goggles. (official distributor synopsis)

In this remake of William Castle’s classic 13 Ghosts, atmosphere and fear have been replaced by dynamic editing and bloody make-up. And the classic source work with a gothic treatment became another bit of modern bullshit with a polished lens on the camera and nothing in the director’s head.

Mr. Monk and the glass house of little ghosts. A failed episode, where once again there's whining over the loss of a wife, and the nanny has annoying remarks. The visuals are praised, but I can't figure out why (maybe the masks), the rapid-fire editing makes your eyes pop out of their sockets, and as for any scariness, it can only dream of that. Unlike Ghost Ship, the body is sliced vertically here, but the inability to deliver any horror thrills is the same. No wonder the USS Steve Beck headed straight for the bottom.
