My Rating: 5.5/10
I have watched this movie a couple of times. 13 Ghosts is a 2001 film directed by Steve Beck (he also directed the movie Ghost Ship). (source: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0245674/)
The story is about Arthur Kriticos, whose wife died because of a fire accident. Six months after the said incident, he was notified that his uncle - Cyrus Kriticos, gave him his house as part of his last will.
Apparently, his "new" house contained all the ghosts that Cyrus collected with the help of Dennis Rafkin, a psychic. As they got in the house, ghosts were released from their cells one-by-one.

To be honest, I consider this more of a thriller than a horror movie. It was not scary, in the first place. The suspense parts made my hands cold (which is a good sign that a thriller/horror movie is actually interesting and effective). The make-up was also well done. The house's design can really be considered a modern piece of art. The actors did great in portraying their characters.
The only thing that I did not like was that it seemed to lack more suspense and story - but I guess doing that will only ruin the essence of the movie.
In conclusion, if you want to give yourself a little scare, it won't hurt to watch this movie.
