"13 Ghosts suffers from a few plot conveniences (everyone, even those outside the family, seems to accept the existence of ghosts rather matter-of-factly) and the gimmick sticks a knife in any chances it might have of shocking the audience. However, the strong visual effects, the self-aware sense of humor and the well-executed twist ending go a long way toward making up for those setbacks. It's hard to call this a "classic" of its genre, but it's certainly an enjoyable product of its time." - Mark Pellegrini, Adventures in Poor Taste
