Haunted Mansion

MOVIE #1,335 • 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿 • 01.31.24 Yesterday we watched four kid movies with one-word titles. Today we examine four more movies with, you guessed it, multiple-word titles. Here’s another film based on an existing property where there’s… not a movie in it? Why did they make this? Who wanted this? People nostalgic for the 50-year-old theme park ride? This movie cost $150 million dollars. It has good actors too (LaKeith Stanfield stars, Tiffany Haddish plays a medium, Owen Wilson is a fake priest/con-artist? Danny DeVito is there), and they seem to be giving it their all but it all adds up to a big meh. 5/10
