Thirteen Ghosts Tamil Dubbed

[Aila Gilb]

Ghosthunter Cyrus Kriticos and his psychic assistant Dennis Rafkin lead a team on a mission to capture a spirit called the Juggernaut. Several men, including Cyrus, are killed while the team is able to catch the ghost. Cyrus's nephew Arthur, a widower, is informed by Cyrus's estate lawyer, Ben Moss, that he has inherited Cyrus' mansion. Financially insecure, Arthur decides to move there with his two children, Kathy and Bobby, and their nanny, Maggie.

Dennis uses a pair of spectral glasses that allow the wearer to see the supernatural realm to avoid the ghosts. The Jackal, one of the most dangerous ghosts, attacks Kathy and Arthur but they are saved by Kalina Oretzia, a spirit liberator who is attempting to free the ghosts. Kathy disappears. The four adults gather in the library where Arthur learns that Jean's ghost is also in the house. Kalina explains that the house is a machine, powered by the captive ghosts, that allows its user to see the past, present, and future. The only way to shut it down is through the creation of a thirteenth ghost from a sacrifice of love. Arthur realizes that he must become that ghost to save his children.

Armed with the spectral glasses, Arthur and Dennis enter the basement to find the children. Dennis barricades Arthur behind a glass sheet for his protection. Dennis is then beaten to death by the Hammer and the Juggernaut, two other dangerous ghosts. It is revealed that Cyrus faked his death to lure Arthur to the house; Kalina is his partner and lover, revealed when she knocks Maggie unconscious with a large book and promptly kisses Cyrus upon his arrival. Cyrus has orchestrated the abduction of Kathy and Bobby so that Arthur will become the thirteenth ghost, which will not stop the machine as Kalina had claimed, but trigger its activation. Cyrus kills Kalina, who objected to Cyrus putting the children in danger, and summons the ghosts to activate the machine.

In the main hall, Arthur witnesses all twelve ghosts orbiting a clockwork device of rotating metal rings, with his children at the center. He fights Cyrus while Maggie disrupts the machine's controls, releasing the ghosts from its power and causing the machine to go haywire. The ghosts hurl Cyrus into the moving rings, slicing him to pieces. With the encouragement of Dennis' ghost, Arthur jumps through the machine safely to protect his children. The walls of the house shatter as the malfunctioning machine rips itself apart, freeing the ghosts. Jean's ghost tells them she loves them before she disappears.

While the backstories for nearly all the ghosts are not mentioned in the movie, they are hinted at and are explicitly described in the "Ghost Files", a special feature on the DVD, with Cyrus as the narrator. With a few exceptions, they seem to become more dangerous as their numbers increase.

A special collector's edition Blu-ray was released by Shout Factory under their Scream Factory label on July 28, 2020. This new release features brand new interviews with the cast and crew, plus a brand new audio commentary with director Steve Beck.[7]

Reviews for the film were mostly negative. Praise was directed toward the production design but the film was criticized for its lack of scares and a number of strobe effects throughout that could induce seizures. It holds an approval rating of 19% on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, based on 96 reviews with an average rating of 3.7/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "The production design is first rate, but 13 Ghosts is distinctly lacking in scares."[3] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 30 out of 100, based on reviews from 24 critics, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews".[11] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "C+" on an A+ to F scale.[12]

Ed Gonzalez of Slant Magazine rated the film two out of four stars, panning the film's lack of scares, and predictable plot twists. However, Gonzalez commended the art direction, while also stating it was underutilized.[13] Roger Ebert praised the production values saying, "The production is first-rate...The physical look of the picture is splendid." However, he criticized the story, lack of interesting characters, loud soundtrack, and poor editing.[14] In 2005 Ebert included it on his list of "Most Hated" films.[15]In the years since its release and disappointing box office performance, the film has gathered a prominent cult following, finding further success and more positive reception. Elvis Mitchell of The New York Times said of the film "what we're left with after the scares is just plain dumb."[16]

While watching The Cabin in the Woods I thought the keeping of ghosts in a glass cabin was inspired by Thirteen Ghosts and even the opening closing sequence of glass cabins also looks similar. Except 13 ghosts have more explanation how they are able to capture ghosts( through glass room with spells written on walls).

Reading a plot summary of Thirteen Ghosts it seems like the ghosts are trapped by inscriptions written on the glass, so there is nothing specifically important about the glass rooms (please correct). There is no indication in The Cabin in the Woods that the glass rooms had a similar confinement - the use of glass seems unimportant - perhaps other confinement is required for the non-corporeal residents of the facility.

The Cabin in the Woods deliberately pulls on all sorts of standard tropes about horror movies and government conspiracy. Rather than being inspired by the glass rooms from Thirteen Ghosts, it seems like The Cabin in the Woods is rather more inspired by the trope of 'secret government facility' with aliens or monsters held in confinement, usually in glass rooms. As an example of this trope, Monsters v Aliens has such a facility, with most of the monsters kept in glass cells in a very similar arrangements to The Cabin in the Woods.

As TylerShads indicates in his comment - there are many references to other horror stories in the movie, the whole point of the story is to imply that there is some sort of reasoning behind horror cliches. It may be a 'nod towards Thirteen Ghosts, but inspired would perhaps taking it too far.

The talent behind the scenes! Producers Gilbert Adker (Tales From The Crypt Keeper, Freddys Nightmares, Constantine), Joel Silver (The Warriors, the Lethal Weapon series, Predator, Die Hard, Demolition Man, and much more) and Robert Zemeckis (the Back To The Future series, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Death Becomes Her). Writers Neil Marshall Stevens (Puppet Master, Head Of The Family) and James Gunn (Tromeo and Juliet, Dawn Of The Dead, Guardians Of The Galaxy) and director Steve Beck (Ghost Ship).

THIRTEEN GHOSTS deserves redemption. It has all the attributes of a well-rounded ghost story with only a few plot holes, and is a good take on a classic William Castle film, even with basically no similarities to the original film other than a house with 12 ghosts and a rich uncle/poor nephew/greedy lawyer scenario. Give it a second spin and relive the 2000s in all its poor taste of clothing and editing choices. Appreciate the gang of ghoulies and talented cast behind this gem.

Could also be the first Chapter to feature multiple Killers released simultaneously. Or even have different ghosts w different powers in cells that spawn around the maps, which are accessible similar to trading off between Victor and Charlotte (since Devs seem to enjoy shouting out previous designs in new Killers).

Worse than that, the nauseating Matthew Lillard from Scream shows up as a tortured psychic who spends most of his screen time howling and grimacing in pain while ghastly images from what looks like a Rob Zombie video flash by and the sound-effects guy specializing in high-pitched metallic squeals works overtime.

I actually recall this movie fondly, but that may have something to do with the music. Though I agree Lillard was awful.

I also have to admit a love of the mythos behind ghosts, so to have so many packed into one impossibly structured building, I enjoyed it.

Ghost hunter Cyrus Kriticos (F. Murray Abraham) and his neurotic psychic assistant Dennis Rafkin (Matthew Lillard) lead a team on a mission to capture a spirit, called the Juggernaut, in a junkyard. Several of the men are killed during the ensuing capture, including Cyrus himself. However, the team is able to catch the ghost.

Arthur Kriticos (Tony Shalhoub), an embittered and nave mathematician who is also a widower, is informed by the estate lawyer of his uncle Cyrus, Ben Moss (JR Bourne), that he has inherited a mansion. Arthur and his financially-insecure family plan to move into this mansion with his two children, Kathy (Shannon Elizabeth) and Bobby (Alec Roberts). Their babysitter/nanny, Maggie, (Rah Digga) accompanies the family.

Dennis Rafkin, disguised as a power company employee, meets the family and Moss as they tour the mansion. The residence is made almost entirely of glass and metal frames. It contains Latin phrases etched on floors and movable glass walls, along with many priceless artifacts. Arthur and his family are eager about inheriting this new home, and while Arthur is discussing financial matters with the attorney, Kathy and Bobby venture off on their own to explore the mansion. After seeing several ghosts in the basement, Dennis frantically runs upstairs to warn Arthur about the home he is about to own. Moss assures Arthur that Dennis is crazy and should be ignored. Dennis tells Arthur that there are twelve spirits imprisoned in the house, held captive by the spells written throughout the residence on the glass.
