The Haunted MansionWho's in it: Eddie Murphy, Marsha Thomason, Terence Stamp, Nathaniel Parker
What's it about: The Evers and Evers Real Estate just got a huge job when asked to sell an old mansion. Jim(Murphy) and Sara(Thomason) are on their way out of town and stop by to get ahead of their next week. The butler, Ramsley(Stamp), gets them situated, but a storm keeps them overnight. The story behind the mansion is that two lovers had died in the house and their souls still walked the halls. Master Gracey(Parker), the ghost of one of the lovers, thinks that Sara is the reincarnate of his lost love. Gracey attempts to steal Sara away from Jim, but Jim won't have it and does everything that he can to stop him.
What I Think: This movie was very different. Not one of Disney's best, but certainly not it's worst. I would have to say that the plot played out well. I was confused about how Disney could have the, quite distubing, ending that it did. Murphy is always a great man to watch. He was funny, but became serious when the time came for him to be. The effects were pretty cool, but still amateurish. Surprised to hear the word 'damn' several times in a Disney movie.
