Hey what's up guys
Today I'll show you a thriller film: "Thirteen Ghosts"
Spoiler ahead, watch out and take care
One stormy night in a gloomy junkyard, Dr.Cyrus, an eccentric ghost hunter,
is preparing to hunt an evil spirit with a group of his gang
One of whom, Cyrus's psychic assistant Dennis, is able to sense ghosts through various mediums
He can also read others' minds, and feel their emotions by touching them
Dennis usually helps Dr.Cyrus locate the ghosts to capture them
This time, he can feel the tremendous evil power of the coming ghost in advance
He's somehow curious about why Dr.Cyrus must have such a horrible ghost
He puts his hand on Cyrus's shoulder,
and accidentally knows about the huge amount of money hiding somewhere in Cyrus's house
Just as they're going to start,
Cyrus's men discover a hunter couple with a magic book hiding nearby
The couple aims to liberate ghosts
The husband warns Cyrus not to do so;
and he won't succeed without the 13th ghost and the magic spell
Dennis is confused to hear this, as Dr.Cyrus has been hiding his true purpose of hunting ghosts
To keep his secret, Dr.Cyrus orders to attack the couple
At the moment, the evil spirit arrives, smelling the bait
After a fierce fight, the evil ghost is finally caught
However, Dr.Cyrus and his several men are killed in the fight
Dennis and the female hunter of the couple, Kalina, survive
Years later, Dr.Cyrus's nephew, Arthur, lives with his family in a crowded house
He's a math teacher, and once owned a happy family
However, an unexpected fire changed his life
He lost his beloved wife, and almost all of his properties in the fire
He has to live in this small house with his two children and their babysitter
One day, Arthur gets a visit from Dr.Cyrus's lawyer,
informing him that he has inherited a mansion from his uncle Cyrus
Lack of money, Arthur's family is eager to accept the legacy, and decide to move there
Looking at their happy faces, the lawyer privately shows a strange smile
The lawyer leads them to the mansion located in a tranquil place
They happen to meet a maintenance worker at the entrance, who is pretended by Dennis
He's here for Cyrus's money
The lawyer recognizes him, but keeps silent
It seems they are both hiding something from the Arthur family
Arthur opens the gate with a unique key
The mechanism of the house moves as the door opens
This house is full of mechanized devices,
and decorated with glass walls inscribed with strange Latin characters
There's also a huge turntable machine, with 12 cells and Latin phrases in the main hall
Arthur's family tour around the house with curiosity
They feel lucky to move in, instead of noticing the peculiarity of the house
While the lawyer and Arthur are talking about handover procedures in the hall, Dennis,
disguised as a worker, comes down alone to the basement
He's searching for the huge amount of money that Dr.Cyrus left
There're many transparent cabins down the basement, each separated by glass walls with Latin words
He has felt the strangeness of the house as soon as he enters
While passing these cabins,
Dennis's superpower makes him see horrible pictures, and feel deep pains
He soon finds a pair of spectral glasses, which enables people to see ghosts
Putting on the glasses, he's shocked to discover 12 ghosts, once caught by him and Dr Cyrus
prisoned in each of the cabins
The Latin words on the glass walls, serve as a spell to keep them captive
Astonished, Dennis hurries up, and meets Arthur and the lawyer in a room
He tells Arthur his true identity, and suggests he leave the house right away
However, the lawyer is an accomplice of Dr.Cyrus
He keeps obstructing Dennis from telling the truth
Arthur doesn't believe in ghosts, and takes the warning as ridiculous jokes
Though working for Cyrus, the lawyer also has his own plan
He quietly runs into the basement and takes the money case,
while Dennis is trying to convince Arthur
As he's about to leave the house, the lawyer carelessly triggers a mechanism of the house,
which will lock the house, and release the ghosts one after another
On his way leaving, the lawyer comes across one of the ghosts released just now
In fear, he's then cut in half by accident, and dies
Arthur's son runs around the mansion with the babysitter, playing with his skateboard
He finds a pair of spectral glasses somewhere in the house
He puts on the glasses, and goes straight to the dangerous basement,
as someone is directing him there
Suddenly, the boy seems to hear the sound of his dead mother, stopping him from going forward
It turns that his mother's spirit has been kept here
Despite his mother's dissuasion, the boy still enters the basement driven by curiosity
Arthur finally starts to notice the oddity of the house
He decides to leave with his family, but can't find his son anywhere
In the meantime, the house has been locked, thanks to the lawyer
Arthur finds his daughter and the babysitter, and asks them to wait in the car
He promises to find his son, and get back to them
However, Dennis, sitting in a chair,
tells them that they won't be able to get out of here, as the house has been sealed
Down in the basement, Arthur's son is able to see the ghosts through his glasses,
which scares him to death
His dead mother comes to help him escape, while Dr.Cyrus,
who should have been dead, shows up unexpectedly
The boy has been knocked unconscious and taken away
Upstairs, Dennis and the family are looking for Arthur's son
Dennis tells them that the Latin words on the glass walls, help as a spell to keep the ghosts away
Arthur's daughter laughs at him, in that she doesn't believe ghosts do exist
To find his son, Arthur begs Dennis to take them to the basement
Dennis agrees reluctantly
When they get down to the basement,
Dennis is surprised to find all the cabins have been opened; and ghosts are gone
Dennis becomes frightened immediately
He shouts to leave the basement soon;
but Arthur still thinks he's mad, and keeps looking for his son
Arthur's daughter, who's helping to find her little brother,
grabs another pair of glasses in the basement
At the first moment when she puts on the glasses,
a ghost with a horrible appearance shows up in front of her, and tries to drag her away
Arthur rushes ahead to save his daughter, though he can't see any shape of the ghost
At this critical moment, Kalina, the female hunter of the couple who liberated ghosts in the past,
arrives and rescues Arthur's daughter
She explains to Arthur and his family that she sneaks in to free the 12 ghosts imprisoned by Dr.Cyrus
Arthur puts on a pair of spectral glasses for the first time;
and he eventually believes in the existence of ghosts
Kalina then takes out the magic book,
and tells them that Cyrus designed this house to serve as a machine,
that will empower someone to see the past and the future
but it must be powered by the ghosts trapped in this house
That's the reason why Dr.Cyrus hunts ghosts, and keeps them there
But Arthur stops her from talking further, because he isn't interested in such ghost stories
He just wants to take his family away from this strange place
Soon after, the mechanism changes again to block the house, and release more ghosts
Arthur's daughter has been taken away in the chaos
They have to run around to avoid being attacked by the ghosts
In a rush, they decide to gather in the library,
where there are more Latin spells on the wall to keep them safe
After several rounds of fight with the ghosts, they finally get to the library
However, Arthur soon learns from Kalina that his dead wife is also trapped here;
and Dennis was an accomplice
Hearing this, Arthur angrily punches Dennis on his face
Kalina calms him down, and says that he still has a chance to save his children and free his wife
There are already 12 ghosts captured in the house
Since the house is built as a machine to connect the future,
and must be powered by 13 ghosts,
the best way to shut it down is to create the 13th ghost from a person,
who is willing to die for love
Kalina indicates that Arthur will be the best candidate for the 13th ghost,
if he sacrifices his life to save his children
Desperate, Arthur realizes that it's totally a plot planned by Cyrus, to lead him here and die
Arthur feels hopeless
At this time, Kalina puts forward a backup plan
That is, to blow up the entire house, which will also shut down the machine
But it's extremely dangerous, and must be finished as soon as possible,
because the machine will be activated soon
Reaching an agreement on the backup plan,
Arthur and Dennis go down to the basement to save the children,
while Kalina and the babysitter place the bomb in the control center
Under the protection of a glass sheet, Arthur and Dennis successfully get to the basement
though being attacked by several ghosts on the way
However, things aren't going well for Kalina and the babysitter
They bump into Cyrus near the control center after placing the bomb
The babysitter shouts for help, while Kalina uncharacteristically smiles,
and batters the babysitter to the ground
After that, she steps forward to kiss Dr.Cyrus
Right then, it turns out that Dr.Cyrus faked his death, and lured Arthur to come here
Kalina is in cahoots with Dr.Cyrus
Her husband wasn't killed by Cyrus, but actually murdered by her,
in order to give Cyrus the magic book on controlling the ghosts
She also tricked Arthur to make him willingly sacrifice as the 13th ghost,
which will activate the machine, instead of shutting it down
Meanwhile, in the basement, Dennis and Arthur are facing several ghosts with great danger
To make up for his fault, Dennis sacrifices himself to keep Arthur safe from ghost attacks
Dennis dies after being tortured by the ghosts
Immersed in the sadness of Dennis's death,
Arthur finally gets to see the spirit of his beloved wife
They've been missing each other
Arthur swears to save their children
However, before they can express their feelings,
Arthur's wife has been controlled and transferred by Dr. Cyrus's spell
Later, Dr.Cyrus plays the spell through a speaker,
to force all the ghosts to come to the turntable in the hall
The turntable turns to be an activating device of the machine
The machine will start running, once all 13 ghosts are gathered in place
Cyrus pushes Arthur's children to the center of the turntable,
to attract the ghosts to gather around
However, Kalina objects to hurting the kids
To this end, Cyrus takes her magic book, then kills her brutally
Arthur follows his wife's spirit to the main hall
His daughter and son are tied at the center of the running turntable,
surrounded by 12 ghosts in each of the 12 cells
If he wants to save his kids, he has to jump into the rotating machine,
which however, will cut him into pieces, and make him become the 13th ghost
Just then, Dr.Cyrus, who has been hiding behind, appears before them
He reapproaches Arthur for achieving nothing in his life,
and says that Arthur should feel honored to die for his big dream
Arthur is enraged by his words
He then fights Cyrus intensively
The babysitter, who wakes up from her coma, manages to disrupt the machine control,
releasing the ghosts from the rolling turntable
The ghosts hate Cyrus for imprisoning them,
so they throw him into the machine to slice him in an instant
At the same time, the bomb placed by the babysitter and Kalina explodes,
ruining the house immediately
At the moment, Dennis's spirit shows up
He encourages Arthur to save the kids
With the encouragement of Dennis, Arthur bravely jumps into the running turntable,
protecting his children with his body in the explosion
After that, the entire house is destroyed, and the ghosts are free eventually
Fortunately, Arthur and his children survive in the explosion
In the end, Arthur's wife bids a final farewell to the family, and disappears
