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 fight, including Cyrus himself. However, the team is able to catch the ghost.
Cyrus' nephew, Arthur Kriticos (Tony Shalhoub), an embittered and naive mathematician who is also a widower, is informed by Cyrus' estate lawyer Ben Moss (JR Bourne) that he has inherited a mansion. Financially insecure, Arthur decides to move into the mansion with his two children, Kathy (Shannon Elizabeth) and Bobby (Alec Roberts), and their nanny Maggie (Rah Digga). Dennis Rafkin, disguised as a power company employee, meets the family and Benjamin as they tour the mansion. The residence is made almost entirely of glass walls and floor with Latin phrases etched on them. 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 that there are twelve violent ghosts imprisoned in the house, held captive by the Latin spells written on the walls/Moss slips away to collect his payment, but upon taking the briefcase he activates a mechanism that seals the entrance to the home and begins to release the ghosts. Moss encounters one of them, the Angry Princess, and backs up into an open doorway which snaps shut and slices him in half. Bobby disappears after getting separated from Maggie and he wanders into the basement. There he encounters several spirits, including the Torso and the Bound Woman. Arthur manages to find Kathy, and the two battle the Jackal. The Jackal picks up Kathy and Kalina Oretzia (Embeth Davidtz), a spirit liberator, helps Arthur free Kathy from the Jackal's grip, only to be lost again a few moments later. Arthur and Kalina then meet up with Dennis and Maggie and set off for the library. In the library, Kalina explains that the home is actually a machine built by Cyrus, based on a design in a 15th century book written by the once-demonically possessed astrologer Basileus. The machine is powered by the spirits of twelve ghosts based on the "Black Zodiac," and opens the "Ocularis Infernum" (Eye of Hell) that allows its user to see into the future. To Arthur's horror, he discovers one of the ghosts, "The Withered Lover," is the spirit of his dead wife Jean. Kalina goes on to tell Arthur that his children are in grave danger, and the only way to ensure their successful return is for Arthur to sacrifice himself to become the 13th ghost - his sacrifice of pure love would destroy the machine. Using special goggles that let them see the ghosts and a detached pane of glass as a shield, Arthur and Dennis search for Arthur's children. Cornered by two ghosts, The Hammer and The Juggernaut, Dennis decides to sacrifice himself and pushes Arthur into a corner where he is then protected by the glass. The psychic is, then, brutally beaten and killed by the two ghosts. Meanwhile Cyrus is revealed to be alive, having faked his death in order to lure Arthur to the house; Kalina is his secret partner and lover, and knocks Maggie unconscious. Cyrus has orchestrated the abduction of Kathy and Bobby so that Arthur will become the 13th ghost not to stop the machine, as Kalina had claimed, but to trigger its activation. Kalina says the only flaw in the plan is that Arthur will only sacrifice himself if his children are in jeopardy. When she balks at Cyrus's order to do so, Cyrus sighs and traps her in a small chamber, crushing her to death between two walls. Trapped behind the glass, Arthur is visited by Jean's ghost before all the ghosts vanish from the basement, Cyrus playing a tape-recorded Latin chant to summon them to activate the machine. Arthur arrives at the main hall of the house and witnesses all twelve ghosts standing around a rotating crest of metal rings, his children at the center. Arthur and Cyrus have a violent confrontation, and Cyrus overpowers Arthur. Maggie begins to disrupt the machine's controls, breaking the chant and freeing the ghosts of the trance it induced. This also bends and shatters the gears powering the rotating crest of rings, causing them to flip into the air. With the exception of Jean, the ghosts grab Cyrus and hurl him into the rings, slicing him to pieces. Dennis' ghost then appears, telling Arthur that it's not over and to go to his kids. Waiting for a break in the rings, Arthur safely leaps to his children. The machine continues to malfunction and the walls of the house shatter, freeing the ghosts. A peaceful-looking Jean appears before her family before vanishing. The film ends with a battered Maggie, the nanny, walking through the wreckage, yelling out to Arthur that she quits. (wikipedia) |
