Spooky House

Produder/Director,William Sachs has crafted a simple storyline and turned it into very charming, funny, and touching tale that is perfect for the whole family. Ben Kingsley, as Zamboni, "The Spooky Man", turns in a masterful performance in concert with the new, natural, and talented Matt Weinberg as Kingsley's young counterpart and eventual cohort. Encountering the "bad kids", ably headed by Mercedes Ruehl, our young group of heroes, lead by Kingsley and Weinberg, send us on a merry chase with magic illusions and a surprise, touching conclusion which wraps up the adventure in a delightful way. This is a little classic with a big heart that belongs in everyone's video library. And, for once, the price is quite reasonable (for the DVD).

I remember watching this movie as a kid. It's ridiculously cheesey, and the plot is a little silly, but I love this movie. I made my roommates watch it and now it's on the list of Halloween movies we watch every year.

Very fun & entertaining movie, with love centered theme.

It’s great movies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this is a very cute movie. I loved it and so did the rest of our family. the show was really fun.

Although this movie is generally for kids, my five-year-old grandson was a bit frightened by some of this movie. He was fine when I had him sit on my lap, and told him the boy in the movie was brave just like he was. His seven-year-old sister was fine with it. That said, this is a movie the family can enjoy together. I am not sure any lessons are very clear; maybe that life is more than being a hermit that doesn't like kids. Of course the little boy in the movie won over the heart of the cold-hearted, bitter magician. So the magician got his wife back and took in the orphaned boy, typical of all movies like this one. It isn't a great movie, but fun to watch with the kids.

Cute Halloween movie for the kids. It was our first time watching it and we really liked it. Not our favorite but one we will watch in the years to come.

THIS IS A VERY NICE HALLOWEEN MOVIE. SO GLAD I RAN ACROSS IT FROM THIS SITE. SUCH A NICE PRICE TOO.

I'd never heard of Spooky House and was delighted to discover this wonderful film available on DVD. Yes, Ben Kingsley is wonderful as the main character but I was equally as impressed with the talented child actors. The fact that the kids come from different ethnic groups is not only admirable, it worked very well in this film. It's not always easy to find the right balance of "spooky" with "fun" in a family film but this one nailed it. A wonderful gem of a film!

I saw this film some years ago on sky and when I noticed that it was available to buy, I jumped at it. The full family sat down to watch it and we all thoroughly enjoyed it....especially my 7yr old daughter. Great film that can be watched over and over again.

Use to watch this as a child, and have now bought it for my own children,never gets boring and I still love it!

A really nice movie with a great cast and story. It is a magical movie and Ben Kingsley plays the part of a great magician. The ending was beautiful.

Great blast from the past!
