Thir13en Ghosts is a fun concept ruined by how the movie is edited. The flashing images got extremely tiresome very quickly. Roger Ebert was right when he said that this movie is an attack on the senses that is literally painful to watch at times. Many times I had to look away due to the fact that I could feel a headache coming on. I can't even imagine watching this in the cinema as I would probably have to walk out. It's a shame because its a horror movie with potential. The practical visual effects are very effective and some of the imagery is genuinely unsettling. On top of that the cast is very fun as it's always great to see recognizable actors in horror movies. Matthew Lillard is once again great in a very over-the-top way as he kind of tries to emulate what he did in the much better Scream. I'm disappointed because the movie had potential to be very entertaining. Steve Beck's other movie, Ghost Ship doesn't have editing as obnoxious as this and because of that I found it much more enjoyable to watch than this.
