For some reason, Walt Disney Pictures decided to make a second “Haunted Mansion” movie twenty years after the first one was released. Director Justin Simien (“Dear White People” 2014) and screenwriter Katie Dippold created a winsome and generally entertaining new product that tells the story of a woman who hires a team of people to help exorcise her newly-purchased mansion of evil spirits, with mixed results. Predictable comedy ensues.
The cast includes LaKeith Stanfield, Tiffany Haddish, Owen Wilson, Danny DeVito, Rosario Dawson, Dan Levy, Jamie Lee Curtis, Jo Koy, Steve Zissis, Hasan Minhaj, Daniel Levy, Marilou Henner and Winona Ryder in cameo appearances, and Jaret Leto as the voice of Alistair Crump, one of the Hatbox Ghosts. “Haunted Mansion” was a flop at the box office for The Walt Disney Company.
