Can You Imagine What SureAI Is Going To Do With Garfield?
As if the Eddie Murphy movie wasn't bad enough that was released a couple of decades ago or so. This looks just as bad if not worse.
Why even bother?

Could be fun but the haunted mansion ip really needs a charismatic lead to bring it up to a commercial level. Like even though pirates otc had pirates it still needed a Johnny depp to push into a top commercial level. Owen Wilson .. even if he was the lead doesn’t have that pull let alone lakeith stanfeild who I like but isn’t charismatic enough to carry a film like this.

Wow, I had completely forgotten that Guillermo Del Toro was trying to get this made like 10 years ago. Judging by the trailer, it seems he no longer has any involvement because it looks on par with the Eddie Murphy version.

Is it really? If so it might actually be even worse than what it looks from the trailer.

This is going to be a steaming hot pile of shit with a rotten ball sack running on top of the mountain of shit.

Damn, the kid and Owen Wilson are the only people actually acting in this trailer.

I love this fucking movieSorry Owen. But you already starred in a crappy remake of a haunted house movie. And if you failed then i don't see how you will succeed now.

Hot take, but I liked this movie and older bad movies are much better than modern bad movies.

I still believe that this recent round of remakes/live action fims are just ways for them to hold on to the IP so it never ever goes public domain. Disney is the #1 fucker of copyright laws in the US.
I think you are correct about Disney locking down "their spin" on stuff, like the bits of The Little Mermaid that they invented versus stuff from the original story. I hope this means they are giving up on freezing the public domain entirely, just focusing on their content and largely stripping the other stuff out (Like the 2 recent jungle books or pinocchios).

Haunted Mansion is at least campy and self serious AF to the point where now it’s actually so bad it’s turned the corner to being good kind of like Adam West’s Batman: I’ll watch anything with Terrance Stamp. This seems just bad.

It was pretty boring. Even my 10-year-old wanted to walk out.

That movie was actually enjoyable and had some amazing set designs. Movie critic curmudgeon Roger Ebert who often hated modern horror movies actually gave it a surprisingly positive review:Sorry Owen.

To my surprise, I find myself recommending "The Haunting" on the basis of its locations, its sets, its art direction, its sound design, and the overall

I'd rather watch Amityville 3-D than this Haunted Mansion movie by Disney.
In fact Amityville 3-D was pretty fun, for what it's worth.

You mean the one from the 80's? Saw that in the theater, fucked me up FOR WEEKS, as I lived in a house with a small upper floor like the Amity House, that was my bedroom....

I just recently watched it. I saw it when I was a little kid but I didn't remember much.
There's some legit scary moments like when the guy is dreaming and he sees a corpse of his daughter pop out of the hole in the basement. That was scary as fuck.
Also, the ending where the demon emerges from the hole and breathes fire into that guy's face and then pulls him down into Hell.
Edit: I'm talking about Amityville 3-D for what it's worth, not the original movie.

Another goofy and dumb (to me now) 3D 80s flick that I saw waaaaay too young in the theaters was "Time Walker", about a mummy that secretes acid slime walking around offing....archeology students or something? Anyway, freaked me out so much I kept the theater early and missed the INCREDIBLY DUMB
it was a stupid looking alien the whole time
About the only other movie that really got to me as a kid was the Salems Lot miniseries with the vamp kid hovering outside the window. My bed was under a window JUST LIKE THAT and I slept with a cross on my headboard for like a week
Fortunately by 1984 I was old enough for the onslaught of campy horror awesomeness that ensued.

Catherine Zeta Jones in this made snot ooze out the end of my cock.That movie was actually enjoyable and had some amazing set designs. Movie critic curmudgeon Roger Ebert who often hated modern horror movies actually gave it a surprisingly positive review:
