Hilarious Movie, 25 September 2003
10/10
Author: wkrp-1 from Pennsylvania

This movie is a classic. I loved watching it as a kid. It was a little scary but mostly funnny. The relatives are stuffy, money hungry vultures. When the one family inherits the house, the lawyer dies who is trying to tell them about the curse. The family moves into this cob-webbed, dark house. There are a lot of old books in the house. Once unleashed by opening THE book, the monsters are mostly funny. There is a little bit of violence. Then, there is your classic struggle of good vs. evil. I think this movie is good for the person who wants a little horror story with a lot of humor to balance out their mood.
