“Haunted Mansion,” directed by Justin Simien, provides a lackluster journey through the iconic theme park attraction.
While this PG-13-rated horror-comedy might not deliver on scares, it does make a modest attempt to find humor in its absurd take on a ghostly tale.
Ben, who is actually a very bright inventor, creates a camera capable of capturing images of ghosts. The plot then shifts forward several years, introducing Gabbie , a single mother, and her young son Travis , who embark on the ambitious venture of converting the haunted mansion into a bed-and-breakfast despite its eerie reputation. Along the way, they enlist the help of a quirky clergyman , a zany medium , and a jittery scholar , with Jamie Lee Curtis making a delightful cameo appearance.
Despite the film’s thin comedic material, the cast endeavors to salvage the experience. LaKeith Stanfield, Dawson, Wilson, Haddish, and DeVito form the ensemble, striving to inject life into the movie.
