House On Haunted Hill (1999)

Scare: Quality: Story: Overall:
There is a house on haunted hill, a bad house. It's been said that the house is alive, but no one knows for sure. There are many ghosts in this house, many. You see, this house hasn't always been a house. It used to be an asylum directed by Dr. Vannacutt. In his own way, the good doctor was worth of being a patient in his own asylum. To save energy, he used electroshock therapy on eighteen patients at once. The most inhumane practice of his was his live autopsies. Not only were there patients alive, but they were fully conscious as well. One night, everything went wrong. All of the patients got out, and they exacted their revenge on the mad doctor and his employees. The house was closed for a while after that, but never fully cleaned out. After a while, it was used as a house, but not the basement. That was the one place of the house that no one should have ever re entered. After being closed up again, Evelyn Price decided to have a party in this house. Her husband promptly shredded her list of guests and made his own only to have them deleted. I guess the house had it's own agenda. The five strangers went to the house, but only for one reason, money. You see, Mr. Price offered them one million dollars each if they stayed the entire night, and lived. This night was filled with mayhem, ghosts, murder, and betrayal. And only two would survive, but who you might ask. You will have to find that out for yourself. But I will say this. Now the house is locked up from the inside, never to be entered ever again, lets hope.
