Goodbye To Christmas In July… Say Hello To Halloween in August with Disney’s Haunted Mansion!
Disney’s Frighteningly Fun Family Classic Opens In Cinemas Across South Africa This Friday, 4 August 2023
Inspired by the classic theme park attraction, Walt Disney Pictures’ Haunted Mansion is about a woman and her son who enlist a motley crew of so-called spiritual experts to help rid their home of supernatural squatters.
The film features a standout comedic ensemble cast of LaKeith Stanfield (“Knives Out”), Tiffany Haddish (“Bad Trip”), Owen Wilson (Marvel’s “Loki”), Danny DeVito (“Jumanji: The Next Level”), Rosario Dawson (“Zombieland: Double Tap”), Chase W. Dillon (“The Underground Railroad”) and Daniel Levy (“Schitt’s Creek”) with Academy Award® winner Jamie Lee Curtis (“Everything Everywhere All at Once”) and Academy Award® winner Jared Leto (“House of Gucci”).
Whilst the film pays homage to the original ride and its charm, the film also explores lots of culturally authentic themes, whilst at the same time bringing to the fore some deeper themes.
The result is a classic family movie. Like the ride itself it will play some magic tricks on the audience, because while it’s a story that should absolutely make the audience laugh and feel a sense of escape, it could also transform their fears about death and grief into something that we can actually face and overcome.
