The House On Haunted Hill (1999) *

Directed by William Malone. With Geoffrey Rush, Famke Janssen and Taye Diggs. Half a dozen annoying (and greedy) morons agree to spend a night in a haunted house in order to win one million dollars. Dumb and very predictable, the film might be creepy, but not particularly scary. In fact, the protagonists are so unbelievably obnoxious, their gruesome deaths come none too soon for me.
