	Author	Review
United States	Elvis Mitchell The New York Times	"[It] is an anomaly: no frights and no laughs. The price of the popcorn-and-drink combo at most theaters showing this film is scarier."	NEG
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"What I got was a fairly intriguing story and an actual plot that is actually resolved. That doesn't make the movie good enough to recommend, but it makes it better than the ads suggest (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Robert Koehler Variety	"'Mansion’s' drab comic strokes and narrative render the movie almost superfluous"	NEG
United States	J.R. Jones Chicago Reader	"Terence Stamp and Wallace Shawn spend a fair amount of time skulking around as ghostly servants, which kept me amused for the movie's 99 minutes"	POS
United States	Nell Minow Common Sense Media	"[Minkoff] does turn a six-minute ride into a 90-minute picture with a plot as thin as a spiderweb and as predictable as a 'Scooby-Doo' episode."	NEG
