-Eddie
Murphy
Eddie
Murphy
stars
in
this
spooky,
CGI-packed
Disney
film,
based
on
the
famous
Disney
World
attraction.
He
plays
Jerry,
a
workaholic
estate
agent
who
interrupts
his
family's
vacation
to
check
out
a
remote
mansion
that's
for
sale.
But
soon
he
and
his
family
are
trapped
in
the
haunted
house
and
are
screaming
for
their
lives.
Terence
Stamp
is
the
ghost
butler,
and
Nathaniel
Parker
is
the
ghost
owner
who
falls
for
Jerry's
wife,
Sara
(Marsha
Thomason),
believing
she
is
the
reincarnation
of
his
lost
love
and
providing
for
both
a
refreshingly
interracial,
and
frighteningly
inter-dimensional
romance.
Jennifer
Tilly
has
a
great
bit
as a
loudmouthed
head
in
the
crystal
ball;
Wallace
Shawn
and
Dina
Walters
are
the
ghost
servants.
Zombies
rise
up
from
their
graves
to
attack
the
living,
but
generally
the
film
is
harmless
kid
stuff
that
is
bursting
with
cheerful
colour,
noise,
bloodless
shocks
and
refreshingly
bathroom-free
humour.
Fans
of
the
ride
should
be
pleased,
as
it
hits
nearly
every
bump,
from
the
barbershop
quartet
busts,
to
the
ghostly
passenger
in
the
coach.
Murphy
hams
it
up
royally
and
the
rest
of
the
cast
is
up
for
the
challenge,
especially
Stamp,
whose
droll
line
readings
provide
a
perfect
balance
of
menace
and
mirth.
Makeup
maestro
Rick
Baker
provided
the
non-CGI
special
effects.
