Oscar®-winner Ben Kingsley plays the Great Zamboni, a magician with a mysterious secret. He lives alone with his jaguar, Shadow, in the Spooky House, an old mansion rigged with magic tricks and hidden chambers. In spite of all the urban legends about the reclusive Zamboni, young orphan Max (Matt Weinberg) believes he can befriend him. His attempts to charm the magician, however, are met with stubborn resistance. As Max and his friends try to uncover the secret of Zambonis past, they are harassed by a trio of teenage bullies who work for the towns eccentric crime queen (Oscar®-winner Mercedes Ruehl). When the bullies chase the kids into the Spooky House on Halloween, a night of hilarious magic and spectacular illusions ensues. In this funny, heartwarming story, Zamboni and Max ultimately discover the power of real magic. Review: A Truly Magic, Heartwarming Film - Produder/Director,William Sachs has crafted a simple storyline and turned it into very charming, funny, and touching tale that is perfect for the whole family. Ben Kingsley, as Zamboni, "The Spooky Man", turns in a masterful performance in concert with the new, natural, and talented Matt Weinberg as Kingsley's young counterpart and eventual cohort. Encountering the "bad kids", ably headed by Mercedes Ruehl, our young group of heroes, lead by Kingsley and Weinberg, send us on a merry chase with magic illusions and a surprise, touching conclusion which wraps up the adventure in a delightful way. This is a little classic with a big heart that belongs in everyone's video library. And, for once, the price is quite reasonable (for the DVD). Review: Great quality - I remember watching this movie as a kid. It's ridiculously cheesey, and the plot is a little silly, but I love this movie. I made my roommates watch it and now it's on the list of Halloween movies we watch every year.

Entertaining, But Not a Classic
Although this movie is generally for kids, my five-year-old grandson was a bit frightened by some of this movie. He was fine when I had him sit on my lap, and told him the boy in the movie was brave just like he was. His seven-year-old sister was fine with it. That said, this is a movie the family can enjoy together. I am not sure any lessons are very clear; maybe that life is more than being a hermit that doesn't like kids. Of course the little boy in the movie won over the heart of the cold-hearted, bitter magician. So the magician got his wife back and took in the orphaned boy, typical of all movies like this one. It isn't a great movie, but fun to watch with the kids.

I'd never heard of Spooky House and was delighted to discover this wonderful film available on DVD. Yes, Ben Kingsley is wonderful as the main character but I was equally as impressed with the talented child actors. The fact that the kids come from different ethnic groups is not only admirable, it worked very well in this film. It's not always easy to find the right balance of "spooky" with "fun" in a family film but this one nailed it. A wonderful gem of a film!

I saw this film some years ago on sky and when I noticed that it was available to buy, I jumped at it. The full family sat down to watch it and we all thoroughly enjoyed it....especially my 7yr old daughter. Great film that can be watched over and over again.
