10 Best Guilty Pleasure Horror Movies You Probably Missed

10. Thirteen Ghosts

One of just two films directed by visual effects art director Steve Beck - the other being the similarly trashy Ghost Ship released the very next year - Thirteen Ghosts is about as early 2000s as horror movies get.

A remake of William Castle's not-particularly-great 1960 movie of the same name, Thirteen Ghosts - or as it was predictably stylised at the time, Thir13en Ghosts - offers up a glossy, high-tech retelling of the original haunted house story.

Though basically just an impetus to execute a series of increasingly ridiculous set-pieces - the lawyer getting split in two is an easy highlight - the critically panned film has nevertheless built something of a cult following over the last 20 years.

Even critics who despised Thirteen Ghosts have generally praised the evocative production design and impressive practical ghost effects, and while the exposition-sodden script often undermines the fun, the bonkers sensory assault on offer ensures this is far more than just another self-consciously edgy horror film from the turn of the century.
