Within 10 days, the doors to the Haunted Mansion will open in the upcoming horror-comedy film ‘Haunted Mansion’.

The trailer brings in state-of-the-art production with great VFX, spooky designs, and creepy ghosts and mixes it up with a family-friendly demeanour while still maintaining its seriousness when required, giving it a strong sense of adventure and drama.
Much like ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ before it, ‘Haunted Mansion’ is the latest film to draw inspiration from one of Disney’s catalogue of iconic rides.
Further adding to the fun, the film is led by an all-star cast featuring the likes of Rosario Dawson, LaKeith Stanfield, Owen Wilson, Danny DeVito and Jamie Lee Curtis. However, this does not mark the first time the ride hitting the big screen, as it was previously adapted in 2003 in ‘The Haunted Mansion’ which was led by Eddie Murphy.
As that film was a commercial failure, this new version has led to many wondering whether this one will improve upon its predecessor or not and become as big as the ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ with it boasting its own classic characters in the future.
The ‘Haunted Mansion’ follows a woman and her son who enlist a motley crew of so-called spiritual experts to help rid their home of supernatural squatters which freak them out in the night.
Despite its family-friendly nature, the movie as described in early previews, has some deeply ingrained themes such as the study of loss, grief, death and moving on from your losses.
Disney’s new version of the ‘Haunted Mansion’ is set to hit theatres on July 28.
