In this task, you must classify if a given review is positive/negative, indicating your answer as P or N.

Example input: plot : two teen couples go to a church party , drink and then drive .
they get into an accident .
one of the guys dies , but his girlfriend continues to see him in her life , and has nightmares .
what 's the deal ?
watch the movie and " sorta " find out . . .
critique : a mind - fuck movie for the teen generation that touches on a very cool idea , but presents it in a very bad package .
which is what makes this review an even harder one to write , since i generally applaud films which attempt to break the mold , mess with your head and such ( lost highway & memento ) , but there are good and bad ways of making all types of films , and these folks just did n't snag this one correctly
.
they seem to have taken this pretty neat concept , but executed it terribly .
so what are the problems with the movie ?
well , its main problem is that it 's simply too jumbled
.
it starts off " normal " but then downshifts into this " fantasy " world in which you , as an audience member ,
have no idea what 's going on
.
there are dreams , there are characters coming back from the dead , there are others who look like the dead , there are strange apparitions , there are disappearances , there are a looooot of chase scenes , there are tons of weird things that happen , and most of it is simply not explained .
now i personally do n't mind trying to unravel a film every now and then , but when all it does is give me the same clue over and over again , i get kind of fed up after a while , which is this film 's biggest problem .
it 's obviously got this big secret to hide , but it seems to want to hide it completely until its final five minutes .
and do they make things entertaining , thrilling or even engaging , in the meantime ?
not really .
the sad part is that the arrow and i both dig on flicks like this , so we actually figured most of it out by the half - way point , so all of the strangeness after that did start to make a little bit of sense , but it still did n't the make the film all that more entertaining .
i guess the bottom line with movies like this is that you should always make sure that the audience is " into it " even before they are given the secret password to enter your world of understanding .
i mean , showing melissa sagemiller running away from visions for about 20 minutes throughout the movie is just plain lazy ! !
okay , we get it .
. .
there are people chasing her and we do n't know who they are .
do we really need to see it over and over again ?
how about giving us different scenes offering further insight into all of the strangeness going down in the movie ?
apparently , the studio took this film away from its director and chopped it up themselves , and it shows .
there might 've been a pretty decent teen mind - fuck movie in here somewhere , but i guess " the suits " decided that turning it into a music video with little edge , would make more sense .
the actors are pretty good for the most part , although wes bentley just seemed to be playing the exact same character that he did in american beauty , only in a new neighborhood .
but my biggest kudos go out to sagemiller , who holds her own throughout the entire film , and actually has you feeling her character 's unraveling .
overall , the film does n't stick
because it does n't entertain , it 's confusing , it rarely excites and
it feels pretty redundant for most of its runtime , despite a pretty cool ending and explanation to all of the craziness that came before it .
oh ,
and by the way , this is not a horror or teen slasher flick . . .
it 's just packaged to look that way because someone is apparently assuming that the genre is still hot with the kids .
it also wrapped production two years ago and has been sitting on the shelves ever since .
whatever . .
. skip it !

Q: so here is the second of 1999 's remakes of classic horror movies .
the first was the dumb , pathetic but ok remake of the classic ' the haunting ' .
now comes the highly awaited remake of house on haunted hill .
the classic which starred vincent price as a man who pays a group of people 100 , 000 to stay in his house .
if they survive the night they get the money .
if not well you get the jurisdiction .
having not yet seen the film ( dvd on its way ) i was n't sure if i would really like the remake .
but sure enough
it comes through and has a great storyline to fall back on
.
geoffrey rush
( in a fantastic role with an incredible performance ) is steven price , the owner of an amusement park destined to scare the wits out of people .
his wife evelyn price is throwing a party with her friends .
steven dismays at the idea and makes his own list .
somehow someone , or something changes that list and five other people are invited to the party .
eddie ( taye diggs ) an ex - baseball player , sarah ( ali carter ) an ex - assistant who can re - wire anything , melissa ( brigette wilson ) a talk - show host in sorts , dr .
blackburn ( peter ghallager ) , and watson ( chris kattan ) a smart - mouthed humorist in ways .
what he is gon na do is pay these five people 1 , 000 , 000 dollars if they can survive through the night .
if they can they get the money , if not well they do n't .
the house on haunted hill used to be an insane asylum .
years before mental patients broke out and killed the dr .
there , forcing him to lock the place up because if he died , so did they .
everyone who was in there burned to death .
now it is steven price 's home
and he is throwing this party for these five people .
what starts out as a seemingly normal night , turns into a horrifying , blood splattering night .
the deep dark secrets of what really happened in that asylum and why those guests are actually there are revealed .
one - by - one the people start to disappear .
conspiracies start to turn up , and steven price finds out that his house may be alive after all .
the people find rooms , which once held mental patients .
rooms which once had people dying .
rooms which may still contain these people .
now these five people must try and survive the night and try and survive the house , and they must survive each other with terrorfying results .
since i officially have n't seen the original i ca n't say which is better .
i can say however
i liked this movie .
geoffrey rush gives a one in a million performance as the rich steven price , and does a great job doing a vincent price role .
famke jansen as his wife was great and even kind of eerie at times .
ali carter and taye diggs sort of become the main characters and ali carter who debuted in varsity blues gives a fantastic performance here as does taye diggs .
chris kattan gives us great comic relief and the movie contains a lot of comical lines .
peter ghallager and brigette wilson were great as well and gave commanding performances as potential victims .
the plot was well conceived and was very absorbing .
the movie has atmosphere the whole way through that is disturbing and creepy , and even sometimes downright scary .
i found even the opening credits to me a little ominous .
one thing i knew not to expect was a ' haunting ' type movie with special effects galore .
even though it had fantastic gore and special effects , the movie has only a 19 million dollar budget , which doesn 's show all the way through
but you can tell .
the movie was written well , and it 's only major flaw is the under - developed characters and plot holes that we are left with .
the ending is quite clever and some may not even get it .
i must say house on haunted hill was a surprise .
i was expecting another haunting with special effects , no scares and a dumb ending .
instead i found a good halloween movie with gore , scares and great acting .
house on haunted hill is one of those movies you really ca n't take seriously .
though it is a well - made movie with a good storyline
it still has some flaws .
but besides that the movie is fun , smart and scary and makes us wonder why remakes like this ca n't be made all the time !
