Exclusive: Director Justin Simien candidly reflects on Haunted Mansion's negative reviews and why he's proud audiences are connecting with it.

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Though audiences have eagerly enjoyed the movie, director Justin Simien shares his candid feelings on Haunted Mansion's negative reviews. Based on the Disneyland ride of the same name, the 2023 movie centered on a group of paranormal experts as they're hired by a single mom to help clear out the various ghosts inhabiting the New Orleans mansion her and her son just moved into.

It's a bummer, to be honest. It's a bummer to feel like people don't get something that you're doing, and that you've worked so hard on, but ultimately, it's usually been the other way around. Especially with Dear White People coming out of Sundance, where critics loved Dear White People, and audiences eventually loved it. But at first, it was incredibly divisive, and it was incredibly polarizing.
