Editor's Notes and Comments:
Amazon.com:
Without question, 3-D technology has come a long way since the days of blue and purple cardboard glasses, and Haunted Castle offers delectable proof. This half-hour digitally animated feature--also available in The Ultimate 3-D Collection, which includes two other films and the H3D 'i-glasses' hardware needed to generate the 3-D imaging--tells the story of a young rock star facing the Faustian offer to sell his soul for fame and fortune.
The tale is a foil for the effects, of course, but a decent foil with above-par music and excellent animation and effects, from torches to trees, gargoyles to guitars. The sound is terrific, enhancing the sense of depth with a seamless DTS surround-sound mix that works well even in headphones. --Michael Mikesell

This is one of the best 3D films made since spykids 3D that came out a few years ago.The film has great sound quality and the 3D affects are out of this world.If you want a real 3D movie you should buy this movie to add to your IMAX 3D collection.

I took the kids -- 8 and 10 -- to see this a couple of Halloweens ago. It may be the worst movie I've seen. The kids hated it. It appears to be an excuse to make a 3-D film, so there are lots of irrelevant roller-coaster effects, etc. The plot is inane, bordering on offensive (frequent torture scenes). A complete waste of your time and money.

Went to see this movie at the IMAX in San Antonio this weekend. I have to say I actually laughed most of the way through. The effects were decent, but most of the time I had trouble making anything out due to the fuzzy 3D effects. That was when I wasn't having to "look around" the bird statues and gargoyles that popped up in the foreground of the shot in blazing white about six inches from my face making it completely impossible to focus on the actual movie.
Some of the torture scenes and the Faustian plotline, along with the hideous firey face that is Mr. D make this movie too dark and scary for anyone under the age of 10, but the terrible plot along with the worst voice-acting I have had the displeasure to hear in my life make the film unbearable for anyone over the age of 10.
Basically, I guess you could say I was slightly displeased with the movie. I do have to admit that I got a hearty laugh when the main character, Johnny (played by Jasper Steverlinck, an up-and-coming rocker and lead singer of the band Arid, a decent rock group that was featured at the end of the movie in the only bright spot I could find in the movie) throws his guitar into the fire and begins singing opera to defeat the evil Mr. D and destroy the haunted castle. Unfortunately, the scene was designed to be serious.

One word: WOW! After I got my "Ultimate 3D Collection" assortment (which also included "Alien Adventure" and "Encounter in the Third Dimension" IMAX DVDs), the very first movie I had to see was "Haunted Castle", since I love to go ghost investigating when I can get the free time and people to join me. Sure, the movie doesn't even comes close to anything realistic in the field of paranormal investigation, but as a 3D CGI fun ride, it's awesome. I can see that it would be quite boring in 2D, but I watched it with the accompanying Razor 3D shutter glasses (put out by edimensional) and was totally blown away. Got my mother to sit in and enjoy the film as well. We were both loving the dimensional effects, and more importantly, the fantastic music. If it wasn't for "Haunted Castle," I would never have known about "Lunascape". Can't wait to get their "Reminiscence" album, which has the "Lane Navachi" song from this movie on it. "Arid" is also excellent in the movie, though "Little Things of Venom" is really the only good song from their album "At The Close Of Every Day". As for the CGI in the movie, it kind of reminds me of the very first two "Myst" games for computers. Really, the only thing that dates it is the globular effect used for when the three knights melt at the beginning of the film. Everything else is still excellent. My only complaint would be that the roller coaster segment doesn't go fast enough and wasn't more like the CGI "Devil's Mine Ride" short film (which can be found on the "Computer Animation Festival 2.0" video, if you can find a copy). If you love IMAX and 3D movies, get "Haunted Castle". You won't be disappointed, unless you don't have a pair of shutter glasses.

This dvd is more like an experince/ride, that can be enjoyed over and over the story is good and the visuals are incredible cgi, Imax does not skimp on the wow factor. I own several 3d movies and this is my favorite. For the best experiance in projecting shutter Glasses movies use a epson projector because they use 3 lcd technology a good one is the Epson PowerLite Home 20 or in focus depth q projector.
