Starring \u003cstrong\u003eTony Shalhoub\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eEmbeth Davidtz\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eMatthew Lillard\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eShannon Elizabeth\u003c\/strong\u003e, the film combines haunted house horror, supernatural mythology and spectacular visual effects in a terrifying story about a family who inherit an extraordinary mansion concealing a deadly secret. It is a modern reimagining of William Castle's 1960 horror film \u003cem\u003e13 Ghosts\u003c\/em\u003e, taking the original concept and transforming it into a visually elaborate supernatural thriller.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe story centres on Arthur Kriticos (Tony Shalhoub), a recently widowed father struggling to rebuild his life following the tragic death of his wife in a house fire. Living with his daughter Kathy (Shannon Elizabeth) and young son Bobby (Alec Roberts), Arthur is facing financial difficulties when he receives an unexpected inheritance from his wealthy and eccentric uncle, Cyrus Kriticos (F. Murray Abraham). The inheritance is an extraordinary modern mansion constructed almost entirely from glass and steel. Designed with unusual architectural features, the spectacular residence appears to offer the family a fresh beginning and an opportunity to leave their troubles behind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, the house is far more than an impressive architectural achievement. Hidden beneath its contemporary appearance is a complicated system of mechanical devices, moving walls and supernatural restraints. The mansion was specifically designed by Cyrus to contain twelve powerful ghosts, each imprisoned within a specially constructed chamber. The spirits were captured because of their unusual supernatural abilities and violent histories, and each has a distinct identity and terrifying appearance. The house itself is effectively a gigantic supernatural machine, with its elaborate mechanisms forming part of an even more sinister purpose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArthur and his family are accompanied by Dennis Rafkin (Matthew Lillard), a psychic who previously assisted Cyrus in locating and capturing the ghosts. Dennis wears special glasses that allow him to see the spirits, which are otherwise invisible to ordinary people. He understands the dangers of the mansion and attempts to warn Arthur that the inheritance is not what it appears to be. Also present is Kalina (Embeth Davidtz), a mysterious woman who claims to be a spirit liberator and insists that the ghosts must be released from their imprisonment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the family explores their new home, they gradually discover that its unusual glass walls are covered in mysterious Latin inscriptions and protective symbols. These markings form part of an ancient supernatural text known as \u003cstrong\u003eThe Arcanum\u003c\/strong\u003e, which provides the knowledge required to construct the house and contain the spirits. Unfortunately, the mechanisms begin malfunctioning, and the ghosts become increasingly aggressive. Arthur, Kathy, Bobby and their companions find themselves trapped inside a mansion that seems to have a life of its own, with the walls shifting and the supernatural occupants threatening anyone who crosses their path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe situation becomes even more disturbing when the true purpose of Cyrus's collection is revealed. His obsession with the supernatural has led him to construct a machine known as the \u003cstrong\u003eOcularis Infernum\u003c\/strong\u003e, a device intended to unlock extraordinary powers through the sacrifice of the imprisoned spirits. The family must uncover the truth behind the mansion before Cyrus's sinister plan can be completed. Their survival depends on understanding the strange architecture, discovering the secrets of the ghosts and finding a way to escape the house before its deadly mechanisms reach their final stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe supporting cast includes \u003cstrong\u003eRah Digga\u003c\/strong\u003e as Maggie, the family's outspoken nanny, and \u003cstrong\u003eJ.R. Bourne\u003c\/strong\u003e as Ben Moss. F. Murray Abraham delivers a memorable performance as the mysterious Cyrus Kriticos, whose fascination with collecting supernatural entities drives the film's central mystery. Each of the twelve imprisoned ghosts has an individual backstory and distinctive visual design, ranging from grotesque and disturbing figures to imposing supernatural monsters. Together, they create the film's memorable collection of thirteen terrifying characters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe screenplay was written by \u003cstrong\u003eNeal Marshall Stevens\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eRichard D'Ovidio\u003c\/strong\u003e, based on the story by Robb White, who also wrote the original 1960 film. Director Steve Beck brought considerable visual effects experience to the production, creating an elaborate supernatural environment that was very different from traditional haunted house movies. The remarkable mansion was designed by production designer Sean Hargreaves, incorporating more than three miles of etched glass walls and approximately 8,500 square feet of glass. The extensive visual effects work included approximately 175 effects shots created by Cinesite, while the ghosts themselves were brought to life through elaborate prosthetic make-up, practical effects and computer-generated imagery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReleased in October 2001, \u003cstrong\u003eThirteen Ghosts\u003c\/strong\u003e became a memorable entry in the supernatural horror genre. Its combination of imaginative creature designs, elaborate production design, mysterious mythology and relentless haunted house suspense has helped it develop a following among horror enthusiasts. For collectors, this \u003cstrong\u003eoriginal Australian Daybill movie poster\u003c\/strong\u003e is an appealing piece of early 2000s horror film memorabilia, representing a visually distinctive supernatural thriller and a modern interpretation of a classic William Castle horror concept.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca title=\"Thirteen Ghosts (2001) - to find out more about the movie, posters, and movie trailers, go to IMDB.com\" href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0245674\/\"\u003eTo find out more about Thirteen Ghosts (2001) click here to go to IMDB.com.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial Notes.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImages may have a small 'MPA' digital watermark and this does not appear on the poster.
