William Castle
13 Ghosts
(1960)
+
Light-hearted supernatural horror/mystery that has a rather embarrassing prologue by the director himself on how to use the 'special' viewer (that was provided at screenings) which perfectly sums up how hokey the whole affair is. That some of the acting and dialogue are stilted really comes as no surprise whilst many of the low budget effects don't exactly set the pulse racing but there are a couple of worthwhile moments and the mystery aspect is just about enough to maintain interest in proceedings. Perhaps using the special viewer might improve it but tbh I seriously doubt it
18/35
