I've always had a fondness for the 2001 cult horror-thriller THIR13EEN GHOSTS. A remake of the campy 1960's original – which was directed by HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL director William Castle (with a gimmick of wearing glasses to "see the ghosts" with "Illusion-O vision", that is replicated in the story of the remake) – I remember loving the awesome production and creature design, as well as some of the extremely gory kills!
Now I can see if it holds up with an epic Collector's Edition Blu-Ray from Scream Factory! Here are the details:
Awesome ectoplasmic specters populate THIRTEEN GHOSTS, an effects-rampant remake of the 1960 William Castle haunted-house film directed by Steve Beck (Ghost Ship) and from producers Gilbert Adler (House on Haunted Hill), Joel Silver (The Matrix, Suburbicon) and Robert Zemeckis (Cast Away, What Lies Beneath). Tony Shalhoub (Galaxy Quest) leads a cast that includes Embeth Davidtz (Mad Men), Matthew Lillard (Scooby-Doo and Guess Who?), Shannon Elizabeth (Jay and Silent Bob Reboot), Rah Digga (Blade II), and F. Murray Abraham (Homeland). The house itself is a design marvel and a mysterious puzzle-cube whose eerie corridors, sliding walls, spinning floors and phantasmic fiends may allow no escape. A must-have for movie collectors and horror enthusiasts, this definitive Blu-ray release contains special bonus content, including new audio commentary, interviews and more.
Meanwhile, the THIR13EN GHOSTS Collector's Edition Blu-Ray comes out July 28th, but you can PRE-ORDER IT HERE!
