The main reason I can think of is the house itself, which still manages to scare people. Other than that, there's a big market for remaking classic horror films right now, though hardly any of been able to justify their own existence, including last year's . It's movies like this that make you want to root for the ghosts. It's hard to feel sympathetic for characters in a movie who have to stay in a stupid situation just because the script says so.
