Ella (Janella Salvador) is a gifted girl, who sees dead people around her. The last time she
used her gift to communicate with spirits, though, resulted in her
father’s death. Her schoolmates who often bullies Ella, initiated a
prank and insidiously awakened the evil spirits, Amara (Iza Calzado) and
Veronica (LJ Reyes) from the past. In the midst of the students’
adventure, dormant ghost in the retreat house are disturbed and so they
wreak havoc on Ella and her friends. Ella and her friends accidentally discovers the mystery surrounding
the twin deaths, and so Amara’s vengeful spirit returns to try to stop
them from spilling the truth.
Haunted Mansion is a standard cliche horror teenage film that effectively
delivers. The movie actually has a plot, a decent story to follow, and a
great cast. A great cast can be the difference in a film like this and
they defiantly did a great job here. Janella's acting is good and
commended for her exorcism scene. She has a potential of a next leading
lady to watch to. Marlo Mortel and Jerome Ponce also did well in
the film as a love interest to Janella. Ingrid Dela Paz is effective in
her character. The cast and acting are really nice, the story is
engaging with a good thrilling moments, the pace was very fluid and
entertaining and it was a decent horror movie until the end. If you are a
fan of a typical local horror film, you surely enjoy and would love to
watch this
My Verdict: 3.5/5
