LaKeith Stanfield plays a grieving widow who is hired to take photos of ghosts using his special paranormal camera at the titular mansion.
Disney first made a movie adaptation of its attraction The Haunted Mansion in 2003 and now, 20 years later, they’re releasing another.
Justin Simien’s reboot follows grieving window Ben (LaKeith Stanfield), who is hired by Gabbie (Rosario Dawson) and her son Travis (Chase W. Dillon) to take photos of ghosts at their home, the titular mansion, using his special paranormal camera.
With the added help of Father Kent (Owen Wilson), medium Harriet (Tiffany Haddish) and college professor Bruce (Danny DeVito), they try to get to the bottom of the mansion’s mystery to exorcise the ghosts for good.
Fans of the Disneyland ride will appreciate this film much more than those who have never been on it because there are so many references and Easter eggs to pick up on.
They will probably follow the story better too because the central mystery isn’t especially clear, despite sizeable moments of clunky exposition in which they try to explain...
