Haunted Mansion

This is a low key Chinese horror flick, starring Gigi Lai and Anthony Wong as a wife and husband who returns home to be with her mother and sister in a house where odd things are taking place. Soon, it was discovered that the place was haunted; therefore, our characters must save themselves from the paranormal menace.

This movie is set in a more serious tone versus the popular horror movies with the comedic touch that is so popular in Hong Kong. There are some effective scares; however, much of the movie is uninspiring as there are few surprises and suspense and a slow-paced plot. The A-list cast of characters were a treat to watch, but over than that, this is a very average ghost movie.

Grade C-
