"The owner's dead, and now he's trying to get jiggy with my wife," explains Eddie Murphy in the course of this flyweight horror-comedy about a family passing a night in the eponymous.

Adapted (à la Pirates of the Caribbean) from a Disney theme ride, it offers a dose of low-cal Grand Guignol (curses, cobwebs, computer-generated ghouls). Terence Stamp's sonorous butler gives it the sly semblance of life.
