Haunted Mansion (2023)

20241013:
I started this movie last year with Ben but for some reason we didn't finish it. It's possible it was too scary for him. In any case, I've been completing various unfinished films recently, so I thought I go ahead and finish this one as well. While I don't entirely remember the first part of the movie, I vaguely recall plenty of fan service. While not an amazing film, it's not bad as a family-friendly Halloween movie - though perhaps its PG-13 rating is indicative that it could be too scary for younger children. I'll give it a 3.0 out of 5.
