If a horror comedy is neither scary nor funny, then what is it exactly? Well, in this case, it's Haunted Mansion (apparently Disney didn't want to spring for a "The"), a summer movie designed to appeal to those with fond memories of the Disneyland attraction.

In it, a single mother named Gabbie (Rosario Dawson) and her 9-year-old son Travis (Chase W. Dillon) arrive at their new home, a crumbling mansion on a bayou just outside New Orleans — only to find that it's crowded with ghostly tenants.
