I'm a big fan of the Hunted Mansion attraction at Disneyland and Walt Disney World. I always thought a good movie based on that would be really cool. I never thought we'd see the "good" part, though.
Haunted Mansion is a 2023 spooky comedy film based on the Disneyland attraction. It is rated PG-13 and is appropriate for teens and up.
Analysis
Story. The story is a pretty typical spooky tale and plays out about how you expect it to. It's not bad, but nothing special. The opening has two false starts that were completely necessary and boring. The filmmakers should have started with scene 3. It would have been much stronger.
Spooky. This film was pretty spooky and even had a few genuine scary moments that probably pushed it as far as you can for a family film.
Comedy. The movie was so funny and so clever. I laughed several times from start to finish.
Pacing. The pacing was decent but did drag in a few spots.
