Haunted Mansion Reviews
A story that mainly serves as an excuse to publicize the attraction ride, from which countless details and characters are extracted. [Full review in Spanish]

Disney’s Haunted Mansion is a fair enough choice for a family night in, experienced from the comfort of your couch, where the flaws are less glaring and the price of admission for Disney+ is cheaper.

No central theme emerges beyond a blandly generalised one about moving on from the past, which is to say that overtly at least, this Haunted Mansion plays it even safer than its 2003 predecessor.

Owen Wilson is a priest who may be a man of the con rather that the cloth. He does manage to exorcise a few jokes out of a demonically unfortunate predicament.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 25, 2023
This is a grimly efficient IP cash-in that defuses any potential scares with a hot-pink colour palette and a bunch of oddly specific and distracting product placements.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 13, 2023
The movie only gels once, in a sequence featuring Winona Ryder as Pat, a hilariously sour member of the heritage industry. Serenely quirky and coherent, this segment offers a haunting glimpse of what might have been.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 11, 2023
Not scary. Not funny. Just depressing.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 11, 2023
One imagines the skirls of funereal bagpipes sounding throughout this deeply puzzling slab of unthreatening horror. This must be the end of something. Must it not?
| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 11, 2023
Haunted Mansion is played for family-friendly laughs, with much cobwebbed Scooby-Doobery and character comedy...
| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 10, 2023
For a family seeking exciting entertainment, this Disney romp is a terrific choice.

Haunted Mansion comes so close to being good that it’s honestly infuriating that it comes up short. It’s frankly annoying.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 2, 2023
Like the Disney theme-park attraction upon which it’s based, at its best it’s entertaining in a quaint, late-’60s way, which makes it a pleasant summer surprise.

Some actors are silly while some keep it real, but all work overtime to give viewers a good time.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 29, 2023
Despite a lively cast and a promising director, this Disney comedy barely has a pulse.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jul 28, 2023
Haunted Mansion is a big, plastic theme park ride of packaged fun. It’s funny-scary, not scary-scary.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 28, 2023
“Haunted Mansion” is star-studded but shoddy at best.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 28, 2023
It’s amazing that anything in Haunted Mansion works, even if most of it doesn’t.

I went into “Haunted Mansion” expecting a hot mess on par with Murphy’s movie. Instead, I found an engaging and sweet action comedy, one that’s not only very funny but also quite touching.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 28, 2023
It could have been worse, but that’s no excuse for turning an exciting nine-minute theme-park ride into an overlong, star-stuffed 122 minute feature that is only fitfully funny and scary and soon wears out its welcome.

Even with a solid cast yielding good moments, there’s a general flatness to it, and a sense the movie is seeking to scare up what it can in theaters before settling into its natural haunting grounds on Disney+.
