Watch Haunted Castle For Free

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Haunted Castle is at it's best a very dark, gothic cautionary tale about doing anything for fame. Unfortunately it goes to some fairly violent extremes to prove it's point. Played in IMAX theaters across America it is billed as a simple, animated trip through a haunted castle. This draws parents with children who might already be at wherever is housing the IMAX screen (aquariums, zoos, etc...) to bring their children in, where they are confronted with a plot about a young musician being enticed by Satan (referred to innocuously as "Mr. D") to sell his soul for eternity. Only a brief part of the film takes place in the actual mansion; the rest is a literal journey through the depths of hell where "Johnny" (whose eyes we see through) is shown how various dead musician's souls are being tortured. (Most vivid in my mind is the opera singer who is strung to a rack and slowly lowered into a vat of acid and barracuda.) The film's 3D effects are mind boggling but often misplaced if not neglected, and there are at least two scenes that play like over-produced music videos. (The last five or six minutes of the film are essentially the credits played VERY SLOWLY over a "performance" by Johnny's band.) In all, if you are not easily grossed out or terrified and don't mind some boring moments, the film is visually stunning, but NOT FOR CHILDREN.

I saw this movie a while ago... and it was a total waste of my life.. to think what i could of been doing instead of watching this movie. dont ask me why they made it 3D, cause 3d or 2d it was a waste of mine and there money. sooo if u want to pay for a movie where u sit there and wait for it to end.. i advice to to see this, otherwise dont bother.

On a recent trip to Las Vegas I had the pleasure to see this movie in an IMAX theater and was totally blown away. I highly recommend seeing this movie in the Imax experience.It has some of the best visual and sound effects that I had ever had the pleasure to witness. Not to mention the soundtrack (that woman has a beautiful voice). I highly recommend this movie in any format but IMAX is the best.

This film is nothing short of astounding. The first thing you have to do when you go to see it is shut your mind off. Some viewers have complained that the plot is very thin.....no kidding! This is not "The Godfather"...its HAUNTED CASTLE for pete's sake! This movie reminded me of going through a ride-through haunted house at an amusement park except that the visuals were stunning and the ride was 40 minutes long. If you enjoy animated films but find yourself being annoyed by the wide-eyed Disney-esque characters and the 90 minute running time (that should have and could have been only 60 or less) then this is the film for you. Colorful?....yes. Ingenious?....for sure. Tacky songs sung by talking lobsters.....no! (There are two fantastic trancy/Gothic songs in this film though). I have seen many IMAX films and this to me was the most enjoyable. Some of the scenes were actually genuinely creepy too (like the ones that looked like they were in a closed down church). If you get the chance to see this film in an IMAX theater - grab it!!
