Thir13en Ghost: Deusdaecon Reviews 

Hello Everyone, if you would like to help me out making videos you can visit here: patreon.com/DeusdaeconReviews Otherwise Thank you for watching and I hope you enjoy the video!!

Imagine if this movie was remade into a 16 episode series covering each ghost, the family and finally the events of the movie. I'd buy it.

Toast...? No. Ghosts. .... Goats? *GHOSTS DAMMIT LISTEN TO ME!*

Plot Twist: What if Maggie really _did_ die in that explosion, but she simply hasn't realized it yet?

The ghost back stories on the DVD were awesome and could easily be 9 or 10 really cool movies

I honestly think this film is a bit underrated. I mean, yes, it has flaws (what movie doesn't?) but I still think it's good. Personally, I would love a prequel. Where they show the backstories/capture of the other ghosts, ending when they arrive in the junk yard.

"Lillard isn't considered anything special..." I beg to differ. The man is legendary for the...uh...Lillard-ness of his performances! Have you never seen Uwe Boll's Dungeon Siege?

Matt Lillard is an amazing actor in everything.

sucks that this movie is looked at as a joke, I watched it so many times during my child hood, you did a great in depth review of this, showing all major parts of it, explaining what each scene does to influence the next set of scenes, explained a bit about the ghosts. you practically gave the plot of the movie better than the trailer. it seems like you're doing all the movies people forgot about.

I loved the "Did the lawyer split?" line. I love that kind of thing. This movie, however, scared and disturbed me a bit. The torment of the ghosts and their evil was palpable. Also, I love Matthew Lillard so hated seeing him die like that. And I'm a wuss, so I cried when his ghost showed up and helped them to get out.

Surprisingly, not a very bad film. In fact, it's honestly a personal favorite, and one of the few things I can legitimately say I like Matthew Lillard in. :)

Backstories are written for color and to give the actors incite into the characters they are playing. Notice how the Hammer doesn't try to attack Maggie but attacks Shaggie every time. It's because he was killed by white people and shaggy is white. The Ghosts are living up to their backstories throughout the film.

This is like a weird prequel to the series Monk

I will stand by this movie as one of my favorite horror films of all time, and think that people are missing all of the good things this movie did. Nice review as well. This was just recommended to me by RU-vid, and I'm definitely subscribing.

the best thing about this movie was Dennis´ commentary on everything scary i mean he litterary flips off a ghost after it scares him XD

This movie is so methodical, psychological and delves deep into the human psyche. Each of the ghosts embody human flaws. Admittedly, this would make a phenomenal tv show and it should start with the recruitment of Dennis. Plus going back to the stories of the ghosts before this stuff happens. 50 min episodes of about 40 eps. Kinda a Penny Dreadful/American Horror Story kinda deal

Embarrassingly enough, this is my favorite movie. I'm happy to see such a thorough review on it. Especially since you noticed the few things that were added in that literally no one else notices (foreshadowing, subtle hints, etc). There are a lot of those type of things in this film. My favorite is with the angry princess' character (who, according to her back story, is also an abuse victim who suffered from mental illness): in the scene with Kathy, she is incredibly anxious and you can hear her say things such as 'why is she doing that?', 'stop!'. When she is fed up with Kathy infringing on her space, she goes to attack her, but stops the second Arthur comes in, yelling. I'd like to think she stopped because abuse victims often are bothered by loud screaming. Especially past victims of domestic abuse. You can also see her character has anxiety towards the end of the film- she pretty much hides behind the other ghosts when they throw Cyrus and she is seen walking by herself and away from everyone else when the ghosts are freed. Another cool example of little things like this is when Maggie looks at the hammer. In the hammer's backstory, it is hinted that he was a victim of severe racial hate. He does not show any anger or violence towards Maggie, a black woman. In fact, most of the ghosts are only violent towards Dennis, or people with him. (With the exception of the jackal, who's just a freaking nutjob). When Dennis and Maggie encounter the angry princess, you can hear her say 'is that them?' (you have to listen very heard to hear her voice, but she does talk, a lot of the ghosts do). I feel like someone worked very hard on the ghosts and their backstory/personalities but they have received zero credit.

This movie terrified me in my early teen years, yet I loved it. My favorite part is when the demonic chanting that is being played sudden starts to get 'remixed' by Maggie messing with the controls. Always cracked me up.

I really liked this movie. The ghosts are really creative, the backstories are really clever (sadly teh movie didn't use them) and honestly the shifting glass house and opening cages where a great way of keeping the threats increasing and changing. Plus, for whatever reason, I was constantly on edge watching the movie, which is fucking GREAT for a horror movie! In regarding the ending, some people, such as myself, believe the ghosts have actually moved on. While all they knew was pain and suffering in death, the imprisonment, plus the act of basically turning Cyrus into Cyrus cuts, earned them a meeting with Saint Peter.

"Ooooohhh a ghost video that plays without being played" Lol. I love your review

That revelation about Dennis saying he was there to check the breaker was great foreshadowing. I've seen this movie on multiple occasions and never picked up on that. Good call bruh. Even better that you played Rah Diggas song for your ending credits!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I like the fact the beauty ghost of the princess didn't attack her when she was exploring it shows unless provoked she didn't mind her their and looked at her the way she viewed herself it's a great scene I revisited not for the sexual value but because of symbolism.

Having that psychic ability is scary ass hell. Can u imagine having that ability and trying to have a social life. Nope!

lol telling Shaggy to split up

So much high concept in this film. The character of the Jackal, visually, reminds me of The Keeper from the game 'The Evil Within'.

really late, but breaker was the juggernaut's nickname when he was still alive

This movie is half and half for me. I love the ghost and their backstories, and Dennis who was a surprisingly good character. However things like the plot and the actual lack of any of the ghost in the movie brings it down a lot. It's almost sad, as the film had a lot of potential but it was just kind've wasted.

I could be wrong, but did Shaggy(Dennis) just mean that the glass is soundproof as in through the multiple floors the kid wouldn't be able to hear them?

It's nice to finally find someone talking about this flick. I certainly don't love it as much as my fourteen-year-old self once did, but it's got a soft spot in my heart. Even as an adult, I can still appreciate certain aspects of it. (Namely the ghosts, the makeup done on them, and ofc their backstories.) And I'm glad other people pick up on those good aspects, too.

You know, they are having a hard time finding each other in a GLASS HOUSE

You forgot to mention the first born son and the torso

I agree. It's a terribly flawed movie but it was quite the spectacle. Because so few ghosts get backstories in the movie, it made them more intriguing. I felt that some of the ghosts weren't dangerous (the boy and the Torso just seemed to get off scaring the shit out of people). And Matthew Lillard is both the most overrated (early in his career) and underrated (later in his career) actor.

I bump into doorways and walls when i Can see them. An all glass house is a death trap for me.

I always thought the Jackal was female until I read up on all of their backstories. Also I never realized the Jackal "fled" when they threw a flare at it because of the fire in his backstory, thought it just had to do with ghost being encrypted or whatever like the walls. Also my theory with the Juggernaut's three names was them having three different ideas and still being able to incorporate the other two.

yes that shot of the lawyer... feels like it just needs crackling lightning, a mwahahaha and ominous dun dun duuuuuun in the background.

I would have liked there to be a series based on the movie. where ghost hunters would search for the escaped ghosts and capture or send them to their final rewards. each episode would delve deeper into each ghost and their backgrounds. it is one of my favorite films. even after all these years. and would have loved to see the Hammer go up against the Juggernaut. and so forth and so on. would be interesting. when the Jackal pesters the heroes all the while. neato.

I remember being scared shitless by the design of the ghosts when I watched it as a kid, they did a really good job in that department

i love how casual this is it's fucking hilarious. "The Jackal comes to claw at Arthur's back for a bit" it's borderline David Attenborough-esque, that.

"Who are you trying to scare, the audience or the character?" Very good point.

This review was superb. I like your style. Keep it up.

Ive always liked Matthew Lillard as an actor. But he deserved better roles. Best line in Scream - “My mom and dad are going to be so mad at meeeeee.” 😎

I'm sorry- no hate, but you are kinda misrepresenting why the backstories for the ghosts weren't really included in the movie. It's not like the backstories were hidden, like treasures to be found; they were DVD extras. Sure today, that sounds silly; but you've just got to consider that this movie came out at a time in history were DVD extras were not only advertised, but expected to be watched by those who bought or rented the movies. One of the biggest selling points for DVD's over VHS's at the time was the access to the extra's. DVD sales made more money, so your movie better have worthwhile extras, right? Sure you could call it a cash grab, but I actually think it was really smart for this movie. The concept of DVD extras allowed for such detailed and interesting backstories for SO MANY ghost without weighing down the movie. And by weighing down, I mean making it too long- since most studio's wouldn't back a movie like this if it had a script that overstayed its welcome. It just seems like in your review you really liked the backstories(as do I), but it seems like you felt the filmmakers chose to ignore the backstories or were disrespecting the effort that went into this movies lore, without considering the time this movie came out in. While its a shame the backstories weren't in the movie for future moviegoers, I just don't think the filmmakers were being overtly disrespectful like a lot of people assume.

funny, none of the ghost's backstories are in the film, andthey are great horror stories, some really tragic, like The Hammer

"The Breaker" was his serial killer name like Dahmer was "The Milwaukee Cannibal "

Well.. I love this movie and still watch it a lot.

With the glasses and interesting backstories, I have to think that this was a passion project for at least a small group of people who worked on the project. They probably thought this would be their only shot (as you said, the original's gimmick was not particularly successful) and so took every opportunity to live out their dream.

Speaking of 13 ghosts there is also the 13 ghosts of Scooby doo that also had Vincent price

I feel like the Prince is one of the more aggressive because he had a promising life that was tragically cut short. So the agression comes from anger of his situation.

The Jackal is my favorite ghost!

When I was younger, this movie used to terrify me, mainly due to the movie's cover (something like that would be terrifying for a five year old), but now I'm so glad that I've come back to watch it. It's since become one of my favorite movies. It's quite sad how all of the story lines behind the ghosts were kind of just scrapped. I would have loved to see more done with it.

Just think that the woman playing Kalina is also Miss Honey in Matilda

Kinda odd how Monk lost another wife to a fiery death. Dude can't catch a break. And even more odd seeing Shaggy run TO an actual haunted house on purpose. Guess he hasn't been the same since he lost Scooby.

One interesting tidbit about the Jackal, supposedly when the asylum burned down, they tried to get Ryan (his real name) out with the others, only for him to run further in, the general theory is he had a moment of lucidity and, realizing he'd never be cured, CHOSE to die in the fire.

They ended it like Ghostbusters, A big explosion that should've killed them all but didn't and the funny parts after. I love this town.

In the older versions of the movie of the remake which I have it has a special feature where it tells the ghosts back stories

I think the scariest thing about this movie was the box art.

honestly Matthew should appear more in movies, he's a good actor and it might be just me but it's always a pleasure to see him, kinda like when you see Kurt Russell and can't help but to root for him

for the record sir we don't know that she actually survived the house blowing up we see her standing there but we've already established the concept of ghosts at that point The Nanny very well could now be a ghost and not realize it

Sweet!! This is the first review of yours I've seen, and this is one of my favorite scary movies from when I was younger.

That Kalina chick...she was Miss Honey in 'Matilda'!

6:09 That reminds me of the original Bedazzled movie, when the Devil informs the protagonist (who had just failed to commit suicide a few moments ago) that he was supposed to inherit a fortune from a deceased relative, but said deceased relative had simply squandered it all on women and earthly pleasures - leaving our protagonist "penniless and on the verge of suicide".

I love that movie!!! Always have... I get your critizism and you did a great job with your review, but this is absolutely my guilty pleasure :D

my boyfriend, who suffers from epilepsy, scrolled onto this film on Netflix and suggested we watch it my answer "I wouldn't, it's that flashy it could actually kill you" 😂

Concerning the Juggernaut :) The Ghostnames in the book are all written in Latin ;) Titan is the closest to a juggernaut in latin. That is why he has another name in the book.

I literally watch this video at least once a week. Thank you for the hilarious content!

I usually don't watch movie breakdowns, but you made it entertaining. Keep doing your thing bruh 💯

first time wathcing a video of yours, got a new sub today. great review of a film of my teenage years. looking forward to see more of your stuff

I like you're art work and reviews before every episode. Keep it up.

I've noticed others have mentioned the ghost back stories on the DVD. But no one has mentioned ever finding an easter egg in these extras. Back then many times they would have hidden features which you had to unlock. Something like the Konami Code. I searched and searched but couldn't find one. BUT...if you look at the ghost story menu, you'll see something interesting. It's Cyrus' ring. But if you try and select it nothing happens. I tried every combination I could think of. The order they appeared in the movie. The order they appeared in the Zodiac. Nothing. It seems odd they would just include an image of the ring and nothing else.

I never realized how dumb that 'Charles Manson of ghosts' line is. Is he a crazy weirdo that talks other ghosts into killing people to try and start a ghost race war?

This vid randomly popped up on my feed and I'm so glad it did. 13th Ghost was a big part of my childhood and I'm sad that it's not a more liked movie.

Glad you brought up the backstories of the ghosts when you could. That was honestly crazy interesting to me when I first found out. I still do love watching this movie for the make up, set design and Dennis.

Maybe American horror stories (or another TV show company) should buy the rights and make a season based on the back stories of the 12 ghost (actually 11 since I think the 4th ghost found peace after the movie) and how to get rid of them. That way you got a interesting origin story and introduce a challenge of removing them leaving intereating ways of doing so and if they want a twist ending after they are released (freed from being earth bound) introduce the birth of 12 new ghosts revealing that the black zodiac is a dark never ending thing. But that's just my idea lol

You're awesome! Looking forward to more reviews! :)

Did the lawyer split? Me: yes he did. In half. Hahaha That cracks me up every time I watch this film xxx

The real question, is why the hell didn’t Cyrus clean the fake blood off himself or change his clothes after he faked his death.....did he just wear the same blood stained clothing for weeks?? And if so, Why??

I love this movie! Just stumbled on your channel, please keep making more reviews❤️

I saw this when I was 5 man, the hammer fucked my mental health up for years

Really appreciate you explaining the backstories of the ghosts. I seem to remember liking those more than the movie itself.

There's a Foamy and Pill-z plushie in the background. I thoroughly approve. 😁

First video of yours I've seen. Won't be the last. You are very entertaining. Subbed. 👍🏻

This vid is 3 years old, but ive just found it amd subscribed. You remind me of one of my friends and your review was very good.

Great review. I liked this movie. I had no idea it was a remake, I don't know if the story is the same, but I liked some of the plot devices and twists in the movie. At the beginning when he used the key and put it into that puzzle lock, that would have been a red flag for me. Great catch with the IV in his wife's ghosts I totally didn't even notice it.

This movie terrified me when I watched it as a child. I remember begging my mom to watch it...she relented but said I couldn't complain later. I had many long sleepless nights thinking about ghosts in my room that I couldn't see. This review brought the feelings back. 13 Ghosts is one of few movies to scare me. I love it!

Matthew lillard is an amazing actor, you've obviously never seen slc punk

When the movie was released on DVD, there's additional content on the CD, that explains all 13 ghosts and their backstories, though it's more reading than video as I recall.

I love how in depth you go with this movie from beginning working your way to the end. It`s one of my all time favorites. I`m surprised I didn`t realize some things you mentioned, like the fact that Gene is holding an IV, the roman numeral for 4, even though I`ve seen this movie a thousand times. I also didn`t like how they didn`t go in depth with the background of the ghosts in the movie because usually ghost are portrayed as being all evil and no one ever stops and thinks that those ghosts were once human beings with stories of their own. I didn`t even know all their stories `til I fund a RU-vid video detailing it. I look forward to seeing more of your reviews.

OMG I seriously LOVE this video!!! incredibly AWESOME!!

I love the review...and I love your Gunpla collection behind you :)

Arthur a.k.a Adrian Monk. Get it? Same actor. No? Ok well I tried...

I remember watching the dvd just for that 13-15 minutes back story

Your foreshadowing is really good.

I love how you keep calling Dennis shaggy

13:55 anyone else get jumpscared by the whistle

I remember be so fucking scared of this as a kid but as I got older I realized it wasn't that bad. And now it's one of my fav scary movies ever!

"claim to be smart" omg you got me dyin over here

one video and i love this channel

I remember being so pumped for this movie as a kid. It came out around Halloween time and I was at a haunted attraction where they were giving out free 13 ghosts movie posters. Had it for years!

I saw that movie as a kid, which left me traumatized. I desperately searched for it years ago but couldn't find it, because I couldn't remember the title. And now by chance I found your review and immediately recognized the movie by the picture with the glass walls. Wow who would have thought that?!

I like this film, the back stories in the DVD extra is awesome.
