House on Haunted Hill (1999)

Quartile rating: 5.5/10 · 1 rating

An amusement park mogul offers a random group of diverse people $1 million to spend the night in a decrepit former mental institution.

The Quartile Take

This 1999 remake of William Castle's campy classic delivers some effective haunted-asylum atmosphere and decent production design, but stumbles with a convoluted plot, uneven performances, and an over-reliance on CGI-heavy scares. The cinematography captures some genuinely creepy institutional dread, but the script recycling and formulaic character deaths drag it firmly into average horror territory.
