“This house is not a house. It is a machine. It is a complete and faithful recreation of Basilisks’ design. According to this, (the book) there should be 12 earthbound spirits trapped inside. See these? They represent the black zodiac. They represent the ghosts Cyrus needed to catch. The first born son.. The Torserer.. The bound woman… The withered lover… The torn prince…The angry princess…The pilgrimist… The great child and the dying mother…The hammer…. And here, the sign of hell’s winter; The Jackal…and the Juggernaut… According to Basilisk, the machine requires the energy of these specific spirits in order to bring it to life. Once it engages the spirits are released one by one. The house then draws them to its centre, each one adding its energy to the machine, powering it up”. (Powering it up for what?) To open the eye of hell in front of them” This is my favourite part of the movie, where the ghost hunter (played by Shannon Elizabeth) explains the mystery of the house to the family.
It’s not particularly a horror movie (it is… but..). I’d rather name it as a ‘ghost story’. I liked the movie. So.. here’s something short and sweet FYI. A very rich collector (Cyrus) of unique things dies and he leaves it all to his nephew and his family. All including his house, his fortune, and his malicious collection of GHOSTS! Released in 2001, the cast includes Tony Shalhoub, Embeth Davidtz, Matthew Lillard, Shannon Elizabeth, Rah Digga, JR Bourne, Alec Roberts, F. Murray Abraham. This is actually the remake of the movie “House on Haunted Hills”.
Dennis : There are ghosts in the basement!
Maggie: This basement?
Dennis : Of course this basement! What is it with you people? If it was the basement next door I wouldn't give a s**t, would I?
Tag Line: There are ghosts around us all the time. Most of them don't want to hurt us. But, there are exceptions...
