An interesting concept and a fun cast couldn't save this one. It's impossible to take seriously. It doesn't even take itself seriously. It's not a comedy horror film, yet it's full of wise cracks meant to get some chuckles out of us. This killed any would-be tension. Though it tries, it's not really funny or scary. I'm a big Matthew Lillard fan and will watch almost any project that involves him. I like his style. He got me through this movie but couldn't make me care about the story or the characters. I'm also a fan of the show "Monk," so Tony Shalhoub was a big draw for me. Sadly, his character is dry and unpleasant and nowhere near as interesting or likable as his "Monk" character.
The house itself is interesting, but like the ghosts trapped within its glass walls, it all becomes repetitious and redundant before the movie is over. The ghosts are graphic, gory and absolutely cheesy in their appearance and actions. Out of 12 ghosts, you would think at least one of them would be a compelling character. The story itself is way too random and full of holes. I suppose there is a small audience who would enjoy this cheesy, 1990s esque horror niche, but for those looking for good storytelling, you won't find it here.
