There's alot I like about this reimagining. The set is amazing, the ghosts are incredible and some of them deserved their own individual films. And conceptually it's truly a unique and appreciated cinematic experience. That being said it's a bad movie with a goofy screenplay and awful performances. Only Matthew Lillard manages to rise above the material. The film centers on a family that's given an ultra stylish glass house by a rich, deceased relative. The bad thing is that it is filled with some of the world's worst ghosts and the house is a machine that releases them one at a time to wreak havoc as part of an ultimate ritual. The movie is dumb and exploitative but it is fun. And the gimmicks mostly work. In the end it feels more like a ride or product than an actual film, but it's a decent way to pass a cold evening.
