Disney's Haunted Mansion remake Rotten Tomatoes score surpasses the original version by a long shot, though it still falls below fresh.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Haunted Mansion remake's Rotten Tomatoes score beats the original movie, but it still isn't fresh. The second film adaptation of Disney's theme park attraction follows a single mom and her son who hires a paranormal tour guide, a priest, a psychic, and a college history professor to help exorcise their haunted mansion.
Today, ahead of the Haunted Mansion release date on July 28, critics started sharing their reviews for the remake, which are decidedly mixed. As a result, the Haunted Mansion remake's Rotten Tomatoes score is 46% at the time of writing, which is far better than the original Haunted Mansion's abysmal 14%, though it still isn't fresh.
Haunted Mansion 2023's RT Score Beats The Original, But That's Not Saying Much Released in 2003 as an adaptation of the Disneyland ride, The Haunted Mansion starred Eddie Murphy as a realtor who, along with his family, becomes stuck in a spooky house. The cast also included Terence Stamp, Wallace Shawn, Marsha Thomason, and Jennifer Tilly.

Instead of outright abysmal, the reviews for the new movie are only middling this time around. However, many critics claim the remake still suffers the same problem as the original in that its juggling act between horror and comedy fails on both fronts.
