La casa dei fantasmi - Film 2023 (2024)

FAQs

Is Haunted Mansion ok for Christians? ›

As such, Haunted Mansion is a fine film. At least, that's what my inner film critic would say… Haunted Mansion is also one of the few movies out there that has me split between film appreciation and my Christian beliefs. As a Christian, I actually cannot recommend this film.

Haunted Mansion's talented cast makes the movie a pleasant enough destination, although it's neither scary nor funny enough to wholeheartedly recommend. Haunted Mansion is a fun blend of horror and comedy with a great cast and a story that'll be extra entertaining for fans of the ride that inspired it.

For a film based on a ride that doesn't have one cohesive narrative but focuses on dozens of ghosts with myriad stories, it has some pacing problems that make the first half drag until the haunting starts to take center stage.

Though It All Comes Down To Showmanship Which I Feel The 2023 Film Has In Spades And In Terms Of The Execution It Makes The Admission Price Worthwhile As It Feels More Like The Ride Come To Life. Or Death If You Prefer. Winner: “Haunted Mansion 2023.”

While there is no chapter and verse in Scripture saying horror movies are sinful for Christians to watch; it would be incredibly unwise and even dangerous for believers to partake in films that make light of the demonic and make it look entertaining.

Answer: The Church has no issue with an appreciation of horror as a genre of literature and cinema. For a Christian perspective on horror, I recommend Catholic film critic Deacon Steven Greydanus's article Horror, the Grotesque, and the Macabre: A Christian Appraisal. Nonetheless, there can be too much of a good thing.

Holding a 37% approval rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, the majority of criticism for Haunted Mansion was aimed towards the movie's balance of horror and comedy, with many reviewers feeling it didn't go far enough in either direction to fully recommend the movie.

In the film, a man named Alistair Crump (Jared Leto) is behind all the hauntings and mysterious deaths. He killed party guests and servants alike in his own mansion, Crump Manor, until the staff revolted and chopped his head off. Crump's ghost shows up in Master Gracey's mansion after Leota accidentally summons him.

Box office. Haunted Mansion grossed $67.7 million in the United States and Canada, and $49.8 million in other territories, for worldwide gross of $117.5 million. Deadline Hollywood calculating the net losses of the film to be $117 million, when factoring together all expenses and revenues.

Both films employ ghostly scare tactics, but the Haunted Mansion remake accentuates the spookiness of it all. It's also rated PG-13 for thematic elements and scary action, pushing the envelope in terms of intensity and the lengths of the Hatbox Ghost's reign of terror.

Are there jump scares in Haunted Mansion? ›

Spoilers. The Hatbox Ghost is a significant threat throughout the film. There are a few jump scares; the most creepiest involves the axe-wielding bride.

The Haunted Mansion opened August 8, 1969, although work on the attraction actually began in 1957. The original concept involved a backstory set in the early 1800s in which the mansion belonged to a wealthy sailing merchant who built the house for his bride.

According to Common Sense Media, “Haunted Mansion” is rated PG-13 for violence, frightening scenes, supernatural elements such as dark magic and the appearance of a Ouija board and some alcohol use. The site recommends the movie for kids 11 years old and older.

Since the Bible doesn't address Halloween, many Christians liken the celebration to other moments where the Bible discusses witchcraft, sacrifice, and worldly behaviors. The Bible contains various teachings on how to behave or interact with the world's troubling celebrations.

Conclusion. Horror films alone shouldn't be off-limits to Christians, but definitely use a lot of discernment before watching one. Ask yourself, is the film filled with graphic sex and nudity? Is the film glorifying and profiting off human torture?

Finally, in the story, the villain turns out to be an evil, demonic ghost who's greedy for supernatural power. The problem is, he doesn't make an appearance until the movie's second act. The occult worldview in HAUNTED MANSION is slightly mitigated by some positive moral elements.
