History Film / Thir13enGhosts

* ActOfTrueLove: The only way to shut down the Ocularis Infernum is through an act of self-sacrifice (which would create a ghost made from TrueLove, which would act as the shut-down). Arthur is quite willing to make that sacrifice [[PapaWolf when his kids are taken by the ghosts]]. [[spoiler:[[BatmanGambit Which is what Cyrus wants, actually. That's why he put the kids in peril, after all]]...]]
* AdaptationalHeroism: Dennis is also not a villain here, no, he's not exactly a ''nice'' person. But he ends up performing a HeroicSacrifice at the end.

* WolverineClaws: The Jackal prefers to use his fingernails when he's attacking.

** [[spoiler:Cyrus Kriticos, who gets killed by the ghosts he captured and tried to exploit.]]

* WouldHurtAChild: [[spoiler:Cyrus]] has no problem sacrificing Arthur's children (who are also his blood relatives, mind you) to complete his plans. [[spoiler: Kalina]], on the other hand, [[WouldntHurtAChild is horrified at the suggestion]]. When Jimbo, the carnival broker, found out what Harold aka The Great Child did, he had a mob tear him to shreds. While The Great Child isn't exactly a child, he was mentally handicapped like a 2 year old.

Arthur Kriticos (Shalhoub) finds himself as the heir to a elaborate glass mansion after his ghost hunter uncle Cyrus seemingly dies, and decides to move there along with his 17-year-old daughter Kathy, 11-year-old son Bobby, and their nanny Maggie. The mansion turns out to be harboring a sinister purpose, as the in-house machinery starts moving the glass walls that are inhabited by the twelve eponymous ghosts, held in check by Latin phrases etched in the panels.

-->'''Dennis''': See, there are ghosts around us all the time. A little ghost here, a little ghost there, no one cares! Most of them, they can't hurt us, most of them don't even ''want'' to hurt us. But there are exceptions, like this bad ass behind me. The ones who die violently stay in a tortured realm and so that's all they know.
