Editor's Note
Mysterious magician the Great Zamboni (Ben Kingsley) lives with his pet jaguar, Shadow, in an expansive mansion filled with secret passages and hidden chambers. Young orphan Max (Matt Weiberg) wants to befriend the reclusive magic man, but all of his attempts are met with resistance. The boy's fortune changes one Halloween night, though, when he and his friends are chased into Zamboni's house and an evening of spectacular magic and illusion occurs!

Three years after wrapping on Vancouver locations, "Spooky House" finally is haunting a few theaters in regional release before -- abracadabra! -- it's transformed into a homevid staple. Minor kidpic too often plays like a Saturday-morning TV sitcom for preteens, but boasts an impressively subdued performance by Ben Kingsley as a reclusive magician who's forced out of semi-retirement...Ruehl's broadly overstated mugging and posing is typical of the performances usually given by grownup actors -- even very fine, Oscar-winning grownups -- who want to look like good sports while appearing in kidpix. - Joe Leydon
