About 13 Ghosts (2001)

Parents need to know that the violence is extreme and very gory, with lots of blood and many graphic injuries. There is strong language throughout and one of the ghosts appears as a nude woman.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about if the extreme level of violence is really necessary. Can you think of other movies that scared you without excessive gore? Families who see this movie should also talk about whether they believe in the supernatural and what makes some people want to control everyone around them.

  1. I rate this title off for age 17 and give it 2.0
    My concerns are:
    • Excessive violence
    • Inappropriate sexual content
    • Inappropriate language

    13 Ghosts is a nightmare.

    I strongly dislike this movie, the ghost are very scary for children, and one of them even appears nude. I do not think any child should watch this movie. Fine for adults, but even then don't think it's a good movie.

    I rate this title iffy for age 2 and give it 0.0

    I cannot stress enough how bad and dumb this movie is

    Just about every single facet of this omvie is broken and does nothing right. It's plot is way too predictable, and any of the points in it are presented ina horrible way that doesn't add anything at all, and multiple cliches run rampant through the movie. The acting is pretty horrible, there are no scary parts in the, and the use flashing lights is more than excessive. Again, I cannot stress how simply horrible this movie is. I honestly consider this move the worst movie I have ever seen in my life, excluding all those dumb B movies my friend made me watch (aka the Evil Dead triology). STAY AWAY IF YOU WANT YOUR BRAIN CELLS PRESERVED!!!!

    13 Ghosts

    The ghosting was slightly predictable, but the twists and plots withing were good. It is hard for me to find a good Horror film, and I rarely watch them more than once, but I have watched this several times. The story line fits well with the Ghost gore.

    Sick and disgusting!

    I love horror films, but not this one! It's just sick and violent and there's no plot, point, or anything else of any redeeming value whatsoever!!! If you like to see a man get chopped into two pieces with a sheet of glass, then watch his brains and organs spill out, be my guest. Run, run, run far away from this travesty!
