Plot:
When an eccentric millionaire offer a group of opposites $1,000,000 to spend the night in a so called "Haunted House" with a murderous past, they figure it is a quick way to get quick money and leave. All of them are sure it is some made up story just to mess with their heads a little and test their courage. But, once they stay in the house they start to think about the mistake they made in coming there when mysterious things start to happen. IMDB

Review:
This isn't too bad of a movie. Not the original, but it is charming in its own little way. I like it up until the end - when the house comes to life or whatnot. It is good until that point. Has good scare appeal, but just not the original.
