Thir13en Ghosts
Overview
Arthur and his two children inherit his uncle's estate: a glass house that serves as a prison to twelve ghosts. When the family, accompanied by a nanny and an attorney, enter the house they find themselves trapped inside an evil machine 'designed by the Devil and powered by the dead' to open the Eye of Hell. Aided by a ghost hunter and his rival, a ghost rights activist out to set the ghosts free, the group must do what they can to get out of the house alive.

A nicely nasty Halloween treat.

Melanie McFarland, Seattle Times

A B-grade horror picture seems to be a B-grade horror picture no matter how many studio bucks and digital effects you throw at it.
