Summary: Stunning effects, stunning music
Review: Haunted Castle is a beautifully crafted movie with stunning graphics and 3D effects. It's fun and entertaining, especially when compared with other, more conventional 3D movies.

But the sparkling gem in this movie is the music, most of which is provided by Arid. Their music can only be described as beautifully melodic and enchanting - pure magic!

I guarantee you'll want to check out their album once you've heard their music in Haunted Castle.

And if you want to learn more about them, check out AridCentral on the web.

Summary: movie Fine 3D Ain't
Review: I bought this movie to watch it in 3d on a front projection system with a 6 foot wide screem . I bought the recommended 3d equipment to see it, and while it almost works it was disappointing. They need to get the bugs out. You can watch this movie in 2D and its entertaining but it would really be impressive in the 3d mode it was intended for. I am sending the equipment back and the three other movies that came with it..If this equipment is improved I'd like to try it again.

Summary: Amazing Stuff
Review: I first saw Haunted Castle as a feature at the IMAX in New Orleans, LA. The imagery alone was enough to astound, but the music that follows the story added a dimension that no pop-up graphics could. The band which supplies the music, Arid, also performs a live set at the end. The lead singer Jasper stars as the film's lead character in a sticky situation. You will love this DVD, even if only for the music. And guaranteed you'll be left wondering who that enchanted voice (and face) belongs to long after the credits roll.

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: Amazing Stuff
Review: Out of watching about ten different IMAX movies this is my favorite one. The visuals are amazing and the music is breathtaking. The story is ok but for IMAX movie standards its really good. Besides that I think that is a terrific product.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Can you say¿ obsessed?
Review: The first time I heard about this movie was on IMAX. I'm like cool, Haunted Castle. So I went and saw it and it was the best I had to see it again. When I first heard it was on DVD I'm like, hurry hurry- I need to get this. I got it and it was the best. My only complaint is you can't view it in 3D unless you have a what-chu-macall-it video system. This is the tightest DVD.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Superb video and sound
Review: The only caveat: you need a raster to display the 3D properly as the 3D glasses toggle based on the raster timing (won't work on front or rear-screen projection systems).

HOWEVER, if you are on a tube set and are hooked up to a decent sound system, this is an AWESOME DVD. Kids will love it (though some scenes of torture could be too much for some - use discretion). 5.1 surround implemented brilliantly.

Previous reviewer who commented on the music score by the group Arid was correct... Went out and got their CD, also available on amazon.
